Fallacio 3: Appeal to Belief and Consequences of Belief

[carehappens]

share more about your boyfriend :-)

[Nysswald]

Great stuff :) I am really enjoying your videos!

[fehquig]

Again you make perfect sense :)

[leporidus]

Paradoxically and ironically (actually neither), this was relevant! Thanks, Phil!

[andymooseman]

Interesting stuff Phil.

[Cr8zyCanuck]

You rock Phil. Keep em comin.

[FantasticBabblings]

I'm glad you're watching.

When a Christian tries to give me the "majority think it, so it must be true" argument about their religion, I always enjoy reminding them of how outnumbered Christians are by Muslims. 50 Million Elvis Fans Can't be Wrong!

[FantasticBabblings]

@kenrg It is so true that one cannot argue with the logic of Elvis. It overrides all fallacies.

[VoxTheory]

I'm loving these videos, Phil. You make these fallacies so easy to understand.

[FantasticBabblings]

I try. Too often logic is made to sound complicated (which it can be). But I like simplicity. It makes my head hurt less.

[geogodley]

i believe your'e a good person & that my subscriptions new videos will one day appear in the new videos inbox like they used to.

[FantasticBabblings]

Wishing will make it so :)

[aajunior]

I think you're awesome but that is irelivent.

[FantasticBabblings]

I am also irreverent.

[GhostWhisperBlues]

Sometimes? lol

I'm listening...

[FantasticBabblings]

Sometimes you want it to last longer.

[tomfrankly]

i'm the one slipping you the roofies

[FantasticBabblings]

I appreciate that.

[sunshineandnihilism]

Particularly important point to be made in this one I think

[FantasticBabblings]

These are certainly some of the most widely used (abused) fallacies.

[CountryComesToTown]

I'm really enjoying this series Phil.

[FantasticBabblings]

Thanks, Jim.

[DissentingDogLevi]

Not single hat, I am disappointed.

[FantasticBabblings]

I did have a wool cap on, but it blended into the general blackness.

[Perlustrate]

These are refreshing, excellent videos.

[FantasticBabblings]

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoy them.

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

So...therefore, when my sistah Ida says that she is go'in to heaven and I will burn for eternity in the cleansing fire.....that may not be true?..

.....she sounds so sure about it!

[FantasticBabblings]

It does not necessarily follow. After I die I am going to Dairy Queen.

[trboh]

Enjoying these talks.

[FantasticBabblings]

Thanks.

[MrVisions]

Interesting coincidence, I just happen to be reading an old 'used book store' treasure called 'words and images' by E.L. Mascall that is dealing with the same issues. through that I happened on a very humorous article written on a episode in A.J. Ayers life concerning him choked to death on a piece of smoked salmon and having an epiphany of sorts. It convinces me that their is something in the ether's that brings us all together, or maybe its the spirits.

[FantasticBabblings]

Epiphany on smoked salmon? He must have been at Barney Greengrass.

[MrVisions]

The plot thickens, we find out that the person administering the 'salmon' in question to Mr Ayers, is one in a many long line of mistresses, for it seems he was quite a womanizer, and his departed wife's maiden name was, you guessed it Salmon, Not only could this be tales from beyond the grave, but also retribution from beyond the grave?

[JustACrazyGoatLady]

You use terrific and illustrative examples for your fallacies. You have brought clarity and understanding to logic and taken an often dry topic and injected colorful humor while maintaining focus. Thanks you, you are brilliant and entertaining. Wow, did I leave anything out? Sorry for the mushy talk.

[FantasticBabblings]

Thanks. I get enough insults on YouTube that the mushy talk is not so bad :)

[333holly333]

I love this series. Thank you for making these videos!

[FantasticBabblings]

You're welcome.

[3CoolKats]

Sounds logical to me:)

[FantasticBabblings]

Thank you Mr. Spock.

[strangeparty]

I wish someone would slip me a roofie, but I guess that's irrelevent. Pay me no mind. I'm just babbling. :)

[popebenadict16]

what in gods name is a roofie?

[strangeparty]

A so-called date rape drug.

[FantasticBabblings]

I wouldn't mind if somebody slipped me a roofer either.

[OhCurt]

I've never held that belief regarding God (or god, depending on whatever yada yada blah blah blah). But I HAVE felt that way regarding reruns of Rhoda.

I believe these falacy videos of yours are in fact entertaining. Since I am entertained, I must enjoy quickies.

;-)

[FantasticBabblings]

Of course you enjoy quickies. It gives you more time to watch Rhoda.

[vooooom]

After watching your fallacy videos the fallacies in question tend to stick in my head better than just reading about them on my own. Keep it up!

[FantasticBabblings]

Thanks for the encouragement.
