In my two plus years here on ATS, I have been involved in many a discussion/debate on religious and spiritual topics. I have come to notice a technique used by the Christians here that I thought I would take this opportunity to point out. This technique is to call anyone who is not in full agreement with their position an Atheist. If you don't believe in their Sky God who sits on a throne behind pearly gates, you're an Atheist. If you accept Evolution, you're an Atheist. If you don't want prayer in school, you're an Atheist. If you believe in the separation of Church and State, you're an Atheist. Now mind you that I am not now, nor have I ever been an Atheist, but since I believe in the seperation of Church and State, and I accept Evolution, and I do not believe in the Christian/Muslim/Jewish God, I have been called an Atheist on more occasions here than I can count.
So I am going to call this fallacy The Pork Chop Fallacy, as it is akin to saying that if you don't like pork chops, you MUST be a vegan! So Christians, in the future if I accuse you of using the PCF, you will know what I mean...

a) not all christians share the same view
b) you should rephrase it to "some of the christians i've talked to have....." etc etc
c) No i am not a christian
d) No i don't subscribe to any religions
c) No i don't have any hidden agenda's
d) Why does any tom dick and harry think he can just make a post with the first silly thought in his head?
e) when he does make the post why put all eggs in one basket?
f) Why did i click this thread if i could careless? Because every time i give benefit of the doubt to people with threads that sure stupid headline but im sure there content will have merit. But here i am in another disappointing thread.
