Yo, I'm taking this awesome philosophy class, and I already can name at least one logical fallacy which caught my eye early on: stereotyping. "You all seem to believe that everyone who disagrees with you has not read the bible." Seriously? Of my friends, I can name at least one Atheist who has read parts of the bible, and even one Jain who has read some. How bad do you really see us?

As I have learned from my philosophy professor, people may often use these kinds of fallacies as a way to gain an apparent "upper hand." As honest as you have claimed yourself to be, you have cheated in a logical sense, using a form of ad hominem (personal attack on the opponent) claiming we are "all that way," and even though I have only seen just this one instance (though I haven't read much of this thread) it is still enough to discredit this "honesty."
