SnailyBoy Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Neither was I , infact I was taught to love people where they are , not to judge their lives which is how Christians should be , again there's. A lot of stuff Christians do which I don't do ! I am not perfect but won't lie to a child , the children I have helped bring up will agree that they were thankful for honesty and truth especially when it involves a stranger entering a home which they clearly were worried about to the existent of night terrors , and anxiety while not at home ! No True Scotsman fallacy. Weren't the children worried about an omnipresent god watching their every move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever told a child that God exists? If yes, then how do you know this is the truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The No True Scotsman fallacy has nothing to do with faith, it's how to do with how you defined Christians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you explain? I'm guessing that what is meant is that if you start off believing in something for which there is no proof then you will find the proof to satisfy your belief. I stand to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
