straw-man fallacy

Published November 17th, 2006 by Bobby Henderson

Basic Straw-man Fallacy… They put up this stupid straw-man that nobody in their right mind would believe in(Pastafarian Religon) and then falliciously equate it to a real belief(Intelligent Design) that is supported by many scientists, in an attempt to refute that belief.

    do you even know what “straw-man” refers to? obviously not.

    It’s painfully clear that ignorant religion only fights back against FSM because it so obviously spells the end of their idiotic beliefs.

    Henderob, you are my messiah!

    Noodles to all

    A straw man is making an argument for the other person, that the other person really didnt make, and arguing agaisnt it. Not a straw man here, this is just some really good satire.

    He called our God a Straw Man — our beloved, starchy, nourishing FSM. How dare he! How dare he equate our God to dead grass shafts! Oh no, my friend, the All Powerful FSM is NOT made of straw. Nor is he tin or a lion! No, he is wonderfully dangly. Terrifically but perfectly spicy. And has big meatballs. Our God could beat up your Straw Man any day of the week! So there!

    “equate it to a real belief(Intelligent Design)”
    Could you re-read your own post a few times and do it slowly. They help us so much.

    Take a moment to learn what a straw man is. While you’re at it, look up “reductio ad absurdum.” To learn is to grow. New things are often hard at first, but give it a shot.
