Christians believe everything you tell them. They even believe Jesus was a scientist.

Watch out! That’s a long jump to your conclusion there!

You think some Christians outside of the US don't think similarly?

Edit: Apparently a fair amount of people in this thread think only Americans, and especially American Christians say stupid things. It’s almost as if there is some preconceived notion about Americans being expressed here despite its relevance to the point…

Exactly. No other Christian or even Muslim I've heard of has said that Jesus is a scientist. This is even the first time I've heard this phrase ''Jesus was a scientist.'' So by logical deduction I have to assume that the United States of America is breeding a nation of mindless people.

"logical deduction"?

You mean assumption? There are some 2.2 billion Christians worldwide, m8. Just because you've not heard one say "Jesus was a scientist", or some equally idiotic drivel, doesn't mean they haven't.

Nah I deduce it instead of assume it by many other reasons outside of this conversation that the American system, education and politics tend to be malignantly mind-numbing.

Above I see "Christians believe anything you tell them" doesn't this come off as "all christians"? Or will you say that, no, it's not so, how could I mistake this phrasing?

You may want to spend a little time reviewing the concept of deductive reasoning, m8.

An example would be something like "All cats have eyes. Siamese are cats. Therefore Siamese have eyes." That is the general format for deductive reasoning.

"Christians believe anything you tell them. A lot of Americans are Christians. Therefore the American education system is flawed." is a non sequitur.

If that is what you target then everything else holds true.

No, it doesn't. Something isn't true just because you say it is.

Edit: If anyone needs any indication of the quality of people following this thread, this comment is one of the most downvoted. Imagine downvoting the innocuous claim that “saying something doesn’t make it true”.

Oh, why not? Let my word be law once in a while sir. Did or did not the united states of america lose an embassy to the goatlover coalition in the middle east?

What in the actual fuck are you on about?

I don't know what that has to do with your miserable grasp on one of the three forms of reasoning. Like, I get it... you don't like America. Cool. But you made a generalization about all American's based on a claim about some Christians. Its a logical cluster fuck m8.

Can you read what I wrote to understand me?

HeathenPrimate t1_iyf5a6a wrote

Yes. I can read what you wrote. But I can't follow broken logic. That's what "non sequitur" means...

Textbook non sequitur - "Christians will believe anything you tell them, therefore the American education system sucks"

I apologise I was previously unaware I was speaking to an assembly language machine interpreter siktir lan حال انت ماجنون so basically there's this thing called natural language processing to access this you need to download the relevant libraries for whatever you're running and if you read the documentation you should be set.

Cute. I used to issue sardonic replies when I was incapable of admitting I was wrong, too. One day your ego will be smaller than your personal integrity, and then you won’t have to be insufferable on the internet to feel good about yourself.

My good friend, do you hear yourself and see what a pedestal you put yourself on when you speak the way you do? Know that you and I are both nothing and stop acting so pompous, stop making your goal to belittle somebody on reddit, and putting yourself above them, touch grass any% asap please.
