[quote=Anonymous]"You don't understand what a false analogy is." I understand you're upset by the comparison (if it's a false analogy, surely you could come up with a single reason why it is so) but the larger point is that sometimes an argument upsets us because it's out-of-bounds. Other times it upsets us because it's completely on-point. As an example, your Almighty Dollar jibe doesn't bother me in the least. You might just as well call all atheists "squid-kissers". It would be every bit as nonsensical and off-topic. FSM on the other hand seems to drive religious literalists around the bend. Why is that? I think it has to do with the fact that it really is impossible to explain how the belief in any particular godlike being (but not all) can be justified without falling back on special pleading. Perhaps it gets back to why "believers" are so much touchier than atheists--as the OP suggested. Anyway, thanks for the pleasant dialogue![/quote]
