The ‘No True Scotsman’ Fallacy
fasgnadh
�No True Scotsman� Fallacy
http://www.logicalfallacies.info/presumption/no-true-scotsman/
Explanation
The no true Scotsman fallacy is a way of reinterpreting evidence in
order to prevent the refutation of one�s position. Proposed
counter-examples to a theory are dismissed as irrelevant solely because
they are counter-examples, but purportedly because they are not what the
theory is about.
Example
The No True Scotsman fallacy involves discounting evidence that would
refute a proposition, concluding that it hasn�t been falsified when in
fact it has.
If Angus, a Glaswegian, who puts sugar on his porridge, is proposed as a
counter-example to the claim �No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge�,
the �No true Scotsman� fallacy would run as follows:
(1) Angus puts sugar on his porridge.
(2) No (true) Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.
Therefore:
(3) Angus is not a (true) Scotsman.
Therefore:
(4) Angus is not a counter-example to the claim that
no Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.
This fallacy is a form of circular argument, with an existing belief
being assumed to be true in order to dismiss any apparent
counter-examples to it. The existing belief thus becomes unfalsifiable."
Real-World Examples
An argument similar to this is often arises when people attempt to
defend the historical reality of atheism. For example
EVERY atheist regime in history, (i.e. The USSR, Maoist China,
Pol Pots Genocide, North Korea, those states which are led
by atheists, with the entire ruling Central Committee atheist,
implementing explicit atheist policies) has been a totalitarian
tyranny.
They committed the systematic persecution of religion, forcible
indoctrination of children and adults with atheism, expropriation
and destruction of religious property, and the terror, torture
and murder of believers. >70,000,000 died in the atheist holocausts.
Atheists argue that 'No True Atheist would create tyranny' despite the
clear evidence of atheists Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Kim Ill Suk and
his psychotic offspring Kim ill Fuk doing PRECISELY THAT! B^[
In fact they can find NO EXAMPLE of an atheist state, in all of human
history, which was NOT a totalitarian tyranny! 8^o
Sometimes the argument is accompanied by hypocritical attempts at
diversion such as "Those regimes were all 'male'", an easily falsifiable
lie, (Madame Mao and other female members of the Central Committees) or
but they were 'Communist in name' .. sure.. just like the "Democratic
People's Republic of Korea" is a Democracy in name?!???
B^D Priceless! The argument has been conclusively resolved by those
atheist tyrants themselves, e.g.:
"Atheism is the natural and inseparable part of Communism."
-Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin)
"Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism."
- Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin)
By arbitrarily selecting ANY OTHER ATTRIBUTE, (gender, moustaches,
brand name chosen), the claim that 'no true atheist' regime would
be a tyranny is thus preserved from refutation. Given such an approach,
this claim is unfalsifiable, there is no possible refutation of it.
The logical flaw is that not all atheist regimes were 100% male, or had
moustaches and the Chinese Communists now allow religion, have declared
it a social positive, and have prospered and progressed, unlike EVERY
atheist communist state which has been a catastrophic failure!!!
Lets clarify that point for the dull witted atheists: Not all COMMUNIST
governments have been catastrophic failures, (China reformed its
constitution, permitting religions to function, and has progressed
phenomenally) ..but all ATHEIST ones have been!!! B^]
The common feature is that those tyrannies were ALL ATHEIST REGIMES, and
in fact were the ONLY atheist regimes in history. 100% of atheist
regimes, without exception, have been murderous tyrannies!
Q.E.D. They *are* the historical REALITY of atheism.
The only benign atheists are the hypocrites who CHOOSE to live in
majority religious societies, and are thus constrained by the
prevailing moral values (and their own insignificantly small numbers)
from doing any serious harm.
Let the abstract, philosophical fantacists and utopian dreamers
who believe in an irrational and dogmatic hallucination bleat
and wail in their usual hysterical and rabid attacks of ad hom abuse,
lies and slander..

And as Fasgnadh is himself an atheist (non-theist), he must be, as he
claims all athesits are, a supporter of those regimes.
Or if Fasgnadh wished to deny being an atheist, let him prove it by
telling us which god(s) he believes in.
Since the only way not to be atheist is to be theist, if Fasgnadh fails
to pick a god to believe in, he automatically consigns himself to the
atheist party.

Virgil demonstrates why atheist tyrants were willing to kill over
70,000,000 people.. the arrogant belief of atheists that they
can force people to be one of them.

On the contrary, while you may defend the Q'ran "like a Muslim", and the
Bible "like Xtain, that does not make you either Muslim or Xtain, but
merely a hypocrite.

It is only fasgnadh who claims that, since "like a Muslim" does not mean
"is a Muslim"
> You made the allegation, it is up to you to prove it
When fasgnadh tries to sell us the wisdom and virtue of the Q'ran, he is
acting LIKE a Muslim. But he is actually only a hypocrite.

if fasgnadh is an atheist, then it is up to him to prove it, and if he
is not then he is already some form of theist, and as they are all
pretty much the same, it really doesn't matter which form.
And since it is only fasgnadh who has such irrational beliefs, he is the
only one needing proofs of them.

And that's the atheist excuse for slaughtering over 70,000,000 people?
They deserved it because atheist nutjobs and psychopaths 'thought'

There is no need to be an atheist to kill people without thought look
at the people slaughtered in the name of Jesus, how about the ones in
the name of Allah and of Jehovah has plenty of blood on his hands. You
monotheists are the greatest mass murders in history. Atheists have
nothing on your record hell compared to you guys they are still in
training pants.
> That's 70,000,000 of their own COUNTRYMEN, you atheist LUNATIC!!! B^[
How many of the Men, woman and children slaughtered for being
"Witches" were really Christians? Please do not talk to us about
killing your own. You monotheists love to eat your own hell you still
do it because they are not using the same rituals as you do, you need
to get some spiritual maturity.

Actually not. Religious folk who can afford to move may choose to move
to a religious nation, if any, in which their own religion dominates,
but would never move to a country in which their own religion is in a
minority unless that nation had a STRONGLY SECULAR DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNMENT to protect them from other religions.
Non-theists, being on the whole a good deal smarter than theists, also
prefer nations with STRONGLY SECULAR DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS able to
protect them from whatever religious idiocies remain in those countries.
Fasgnadh himself, being apparently sufficiently non-theist not to admit
to believing in any particular god or gods, lives in such a nation,
Australia, with such a STRONGLY SECULAR DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT which
protects him from unwanted intrusions of any religions.
If fasgnadh finds such protection unwanted, he is always free to move to
some nation more supportive of religious interference in all aspects of
one's life.

An agnostic says there is no conclusive proof for the non-existence of

You appear to be an ignorant redneck twonk who confuses an ATHEIST
STATE, where the government is ATHEIST, implementing ATHEIST policies
(eg the USSR) with a democratic government such as the USA, where the
majority religious society creates a separation of church and state
so that no one religion can dominate all others by being allied with
the power of the state.
NO ATHEIST STATE HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING SO CLEVER!!! THEY HAVE ALL
BEEN TOTALITARIAN TYRANNIES!!!
Only majority religious societies, (which dominate now as they have all
throughout human history, because they are superior forms of social
organisation to atheism) have sucessfully ensured RELIGIOUS FREEDOM,
including the right to NOT BELIEVE, by constructing open, pluralist
democratic MAJORITY RELIGIOUS societies with seperation of Church and
state! Hallelujah! B^D

That is what JESUS told Christians it belonged..
"Render unto Caesar that which belongs to Caesar... " B^D
But you are eithr so ignorant or wilfully blind, you have no
idea what that passage meant..
So you live in an 80% majority religious society which
has built a democratic SECULAR GOVERNMENT, (filled with a
representative majority of BELIEVERS) who all agree to
allow you and your tiny irrelevant 0.7% of useless, do-nothing
bludgers who have never made a decent nation, let alone a
civilisation, in the entire span of human history, to enjoy
they benefits they have created, by following God's will,
commanded by Jesus!

PRECISELY!!! B^D B^D
The social, political, spiritual, economic evolution of man
has ALWAYS been guided and the RELIGIOUS MAJORITY in the USA
(it was an even LARGER MAJORITY at the nations founding! ;-)
has created a secular government with sensible separation
of church and state...
only atheists at one extreme, and fundies at the other
want to see religion curbed (as in the atheist shitholes
well documented in history) or ruling (as in the equally
failed theocracies) .. but the moderate rational religious
have been far wiser than either of those extremes! B^]
As the great world religions proclaim: "There must be
no compulsion in religion"
If only there had been a similar view in atheism,
to curb the unrelenting horror of the atheist regimes
of the 20th Century... what a horrorshow.
The PROOF of the superiority of majority religious
societies which have created and sustained free,
open, democratic nations.. is that even you atheists
CHOOSE to LIVE in them, not in the one atheist shithole
that hasn't completely destroyed itself, yet...
Among the righteous, you are tolerated, just as the
Jews and Christians were under the Caliphate, ;-)
just as they are now in the moderate Muslim states,
just as Muslims and Jews are in majority religious
Australia, Europe, USA, Canada, etc..
Of course because you are immoral atheists, you
abuse freedom and think it is license, even
your depravity is allowed
> Hell, in America, you can even watch nekkid
> nazi flagburner porn on Sundays if you please.
Genuine religion allows you Free Will, because God has.
You can be as depraved as you wish, (within the law,
which protects the children and the powerless, and should
protect the farmyard animals, from your sick depradations}
Basically what 2 consenting atheists do with their floppy bits
is up to them.. God is watching, but he does not punish,
as you do an excellent job of punishing yourselves, by being
such sad, loveless tossers!

pimps his Sisters:
Agnostics were having a polite rational discourse with
some theists, talking about love, and diseased atheists
respond with their bestial psychosis;

Jung was right:
"Among all my patients in the second half of life, that is, over
thirty-five, there has not been one whose problem in the last
resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.
It is safe to say that every one of them fell ill because
he had lost that which the living religions of every age
have given their followers, and none of them has really
been healed who did not regain his religious outlook."
-Carl G. Jung Modern Man in Search of a Soul
They cannot RECOGNISE Love, because they think it means
perverted SEX!!!!!!
Talking to an atheist about Love is like speaking to the BLIND
about the colours of a sunset.
The snip it all and make ANIMAL noises.. they are captives

Virgil interrupts the irrefutable historical proof to ADMIT that

TOOK PLACE.. but the REASON the atheists did it was .. 'something
else'.. PMT, Paranoia, itchy Haemmaroids.... WHO GIVES A FUCK!
EVERY atheist state did it.. it's a fucking LAY DOWN Royal Flush!!! B^D
If atheists want to debate the MOTIVES for their SLAUGHTER..
let them do so with their SHRINKS!
I have shown what the historical TRUTH is!
Atheist regimes, EVERY ONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN A TOTALITARIAN
SHITHOLE, killed over 70,000,000 people!!!
No atheist state has ever existed that was NOT a totalitarian
tyranny!!!!
GET THE FUCKING MESSAGE YET, YOU BAREFACED LYING SHITPIG
APOLOGISTS AND ATHEIST HOLOCAUST DENIERS!!!!!
Your seemingly irrelevant and an ineffective branch of
Nihilism if allowed to flourish outside the moral restraint
of the predominately RELIGIOUS societies in which you all
now choose to live.. is a MALEVOLENT MORAL VACUUM, in which
savage and unrestrained brutality breeds.
THERE IS NO ARGUMENT WITH HISTORICAL REALITY!!! B^]
Suck it UP! B^D
But, unable to dispute the FACTS, all the atheists can do is
play sly games of sophistry and evasion... in this case Virgil
attempts an old standard: try to move the argument from FACTS and
EVIDENCE.. where they don't stand a fucking chance.. to OPINION
and SPECULATION, about the atheist's 'motives'!? B^p
After all, you can argue beliefs about opinions FOREVER..
which is what atheists prefer to do, when REALITY demolishes

because the next atheist in this tag-team of tossers blithely skates

they have LOST THE FIELD;
> There is no need to be an atheist to kill people without thought
No one claimed you do, you poor dimwitted stooge.
You are constructing a strawman. I will put a match to it in
a moment, and leave you covered in the ashes of bitter humiliation..
but first, let us look at what you have CONCEEDED.
All atheist regimes have been totalitarian tyrannies
(not all totalitarian tyrannies have been atheist ;-)
There has never been an atheist state that was NOT a
totalitarian tyranny.. no atheist democracy, no tolerant
athesit pluralist, open and free society.... none.. nada
not one in the ENTIRE sweep of human history!
100% of attempts by atheists to construct societies FREE
of God.. have been CATASTRPOHIC CLUSTER-FUCKS of terror,
torture, misery, despair and death...
Even atheists CHOOSE to LIVE in majority religious societies,
because they are the onlt open free, democratic societies in which
EVERYONE's rights, even despised and ridiculed atheist moral
defectives, are allowed to wallow in their shit, so long
as they do no harm to anyone (ie continue in pointless wanking
in coffee shops and Usenet! B^)
Now this poor fool thinks he can somehow EXCUSE 70,000,000 victims
of atheist oppression if he can find some non-atheists who have also
killed.
That is known as moral relativism.. it's the 'morality' of immature
infants and psychopaths.. it is basically a plea to ignore THAT crime
'becausue 'tommy did it too'
The point is, religion also produced free open democratic
MAJORITY RELIGIOUS nations.. so the evil attributed to religion per
se, has some other cause.. typically religion being perverted by the
unscrupulous for their own political ends..
But there are no redeeming atheist Utopias.. There are actually
Communist societies (which have abandoned atheism, and prospered..
there are no atheist states that any sane person would choose to live
in.. they are 100% shitholes!
The argument is over.
Militant theism is a despised and rejected dogma, 300,000,000 Chinese
have abandoned it since the Communist party abandoned the rabid atheism
of the Maoist era, and allowed religious freedom! That is 400 times
the atheist increase in the USA!!! (where atheists climbed from a
pathetic 0.4% to a pitiful 0.7% of the American population!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAHAA
That alone is compelling evidence!

> look at the people slaughtered in the name of Jesus,
As you have accepted the facts about atheist slaughter
and must now decide if you will be a decent human being and
repudiate it as an evil doctrine, or persist in openly
defending vile mass murder.. I am happy to move to a new
topic.
Provide **evidence** of the people killed in the name of Jesus
as i have done in numerous posts citing peer-reviewed historical
data, for the Atheist death toll.
First you will note that NO religion in all of history has ever
killed 70,000,000 people. So atheism will always lose this argument.
Then you will not that the crimes 'in the name of Jesus'
are predominately IN THE BARBARIC PAST, when all societies
were brutal, those who followed Jesus less than most..
hence religion is seen to produce great and enduring
civilisations... atheism produces NOTHING but tyrannical
shitholes..
Atheism will still lose the argument..
Moreover.. the followers of Jesus have progressed and
evolved over time.. they have, due to the ever fuller
understanding of Jesus, ceased to burn witches, run
religious pogroms, and in the modern era have produced
the tolerant, open and free democracies, all of them
MAJORITY RELIGIOUS societies, in which even you atheists
choose to live...
But atheisms crimes against humanity have been committed
in the last 100 years.. while the Christians apologise
for their past pogroms of the Jews because they have reached
a highrer plane.. the atheist's have DEVOLVED through history
and reached their LOWEST PITS OF MURDER AND DEPRAVITY, in
recent, 'modern' times.. and while the Christians have apologised
to the Jews and Muslims, atheists remain unashamed deniers of
the atheist holocausts!!!!!
You lose again..
and finally (Although i could continue with more damning
evidence for some time) a true comparison must be made
per head of people ruled (by atheism or Christianity)
per time period.
'Christianity' has killed 20,000 witches, and a few
hundred thousand in the Crusades.. but it has ruled
for 2000 years.. Billions have benefited from the
great and enduring civilisation which flourished..
but atheism in the USSR killed 40,000,000 in a population
far smaller than that which Christianity ruled over,
in a mere 70 years.
The death toll for atheism /head/year far outstrips that for
Christianity.
Even in terms of YOUR disgusting, immoral, illogical argument,
the despicable moral relativism which pretends that one crime
can be excused or mitigated by pointing to another, you STILL LOSE!
Come back and I will thrash you some more.. I haven't begun
to elaborate all the ways in which History proves religions to
have inspired and sustained great and enduring civilisations..
with some abberrations which are exceptions to the rule,
and atheism has produced not even a decent state, let alone a
great end enduring civilisation!
> how about the ones in
> the name of Allah and of Jehovah has plenty of blood on his hands.
Same story for the Muslims as for the Christians.. the atheist
tyrannies have killed far more people/head ruled/year of operation
than any religion in history.
You are on a hiding to nothing.
And now let us consider the basic fallacy of your
claim 'in the name of... "
If Steve Knight kills a theist and shits down his neck
in the name of atheism, that is an atheist crime.. because
he is a militant atheist doing what atheists do, and not
breaching ANY athist prohibition on murder.. you have none.
But if he kills in the name of Jesus, well that is BULLSHIT,
because he is not a true Christian, he's an atheist liar,
and Jesus FORBIDS murder.
So you can't be a Christian if you break the fundamental
precepts of Christianity..
But an atheist is not breaking any atheist precept if he kills.
Q.E.D.
And yet is is atheists who use the 'No True Scotsman' Fallacy
as one of the many EXCUSES they have for refusing to condemn
atheist crimes.
Modern atheists are not guilty of the atheist holocausts,
(the atheists who committed those crimes are).. but you are
guilty of being atheist holocaust DENIERS, and thus MAKING
YOURSELVES COMPLICIT!!!
And when you lie and slander to protect and defend atheist
crimes agaisnt humanity.. why then you are for a SERIOUS
ARSEKICKING, you filthy maggots:
> You monotheists
I am an agnostic.. just one who knows a damn sight more about
HISTORY, RATIONAL ARGUMENT and FACTS-BASED EVIDENCE than you slandering
shitpigs and ignorant LIARS.
Go away, think about all the ways in which you have been shown to be
wrong and come back and apologise for your lies about me..
or be known as just another dishonest atheist stooge...
>> That's 70,000,000 of their own COUNTRYMEN, you atheist LUNATIC!!! B^[
>
> How many of the Men, woman and children slaughtered for being
> "Witches" were really Christians?
you seriously want to compare 20,000 victims over centuries
in MEDIEVAL times, when everyone was ignorant and illiterate and all
governments brutal.. to 70,000,000 victims of atheist tyrannies
in 70 years IN THE 'MODERN ERA' when majority religious societies
have evolved modern, open, tolerant, free, pluralist democracies?
You are a fucking JOKE! B^D
Run along now, and come back when you have a clue! B^]

False. Most of us do not choose where to live but have it thrust upon us.
Those of us who have been born into or thrust into those lucky nations
with STRONGLY SECULAR DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS able to protect us from the
evils of theist persecution have no reason to move out of them
regardless of our positions relative to religion.
Most of us in such lucky nations, regardless of our positions relative
to religion, try to help other nations get equally secular democratic
governments so that they can enjoy equal protection from religion.

Fasgnadh stupidly ignores the obvious trend evidence in ARIS:
PERCENT INCREASES as derived from the ARIS data show
# CATEGORY PERCENT INCREASE IN 7 YEARS(2001 to 2008)
# Non- religious 15.90 %
#
# Religious 8.93 %
#

#
# Atheist 79.71 %
Those who declare themselves atheist are almost certainly anti-theist
"there are no gods" atheists rather than the merely agnostic non-theist
form.
There is no evidence from the data in ARIS that many of those who are
self-declared merely as non-religious are not also of the merely
non-theist form of atheism.
One can only be sure that they do not OPENLY proclaim themselves to be
anti-theist atheists.
Since there are those who might choose not to openly proclaim anything
openly despised by up to 80% of the population, there is considerable
reason to doubt that all those admitting to being non-religious are in
any sense non-atheist.
Fasgnadh's permanently embedded rose-colored glasses hide the truth from
him, as usual.

Fasgnadh stupidly ignores the obvious trend evidence in ARIS, in which

<QUOTE>
The ARIS 2008 survey was carried out
during February-November 2008 and
collected answers from 54,461 respondents
who were questioned in English or
Spanish.
The American population self-identifies as
predominantly Christian but Americans
are slowly becoming less Christian.
� 86% of American adults identified as
Christians in 1990 and 76% in 2008.
� The historic Mainline churches and
denominations have experienced
the steepest declines while the non-
denominational Christian identity
has been trending upward particularly
since 2001.
� The challenge to Christianity in
the U.S. does not come from other
religions but rather from a rejection of
all forms of organized religion.
34% of American adults considered
themselves "Born Again or Evangelical
Christians" in 2008.
The U. S. population continues to show
signs of becoming less religious, with
one out of every five Americans failing to
indicate a religious identity in 2008.
