Atheists Should Never Talk Like Religious Apologists
January 27, 2018 by Hemant Mehta
I know I’m supposed to agree with everything Drew McCoy (a.k.a. Genetically Modified Skeptic) says in this video, but the rhetoric and smugness just made me cringe… which is exactly the point.
This is what happens when atheists argue like religious apologists.
Is the video just a performance art act in Sarcasm/Reverse Psychology by Drew and Mehta missed the implicit irony, or did Drew really fall into some of the worst fallacies (i.e. "I have a Degree!" )?
My take away, Apologetics, when used to "advance" any argument, is just sophistry standing on a false foundation of bad logic.
