Atheists/Agnostics account for approximately 14% of the world population. It's pretty arrogant of them to believe the rest of the 86% is delusional.
If that 86% all believed the same things--if there weren't, for instance, 10,000 mutually exclusive sects calling themselves Christian--you might have a case there.
That's petros logic. When he can't deal with the argument instant, he picks one he can deal with. Strawman fallacy.
I have a case regardless, they all believe in some sort of supernatural entity.
Like I said, the pompous arrogance of atheists to assume 86% of the world population is delusional is sort of contrary to your "common sense" doctrine, don't ya think?
Cause god is a fictional being. Or cult figure.
You might the rest of us don't
Wouldn't it be impossible to argue that the Bible makes no sense without quoting the Bible? And what believer would make that argument? Nonbelievers are not impartial but they offer insight a believer couldn't. Saying that you have to believe in the Bible to make sense of it is a cope out. If you had an good answer to the question you would have given it.
Outstanding. Argumentation ad populum. A logical fallacy so old and well-known it has a name in Latin.
Catholicism is the largest religious denomination in the world. 16% of the world is Catholic. So the numbers are comparably close. By your logic, if you are a Catholic, you should believe that 84% of the world is delusional, which makes you pompous and arrogant. Every other religion would have a higher percentage of the world that it thinks is delusional.
Fortunately, your argument isn't actually saying anything. Delusional is strong word with implications of mental incapacity. "Wrong" or "mistaken" are closer to how most people actually feel about others who disagree with them. If you said it like that it wouldn't have the same hyperbolic impact you're looking for and would fall completely flat.
