“Your supernatural unicorn is nevertheless still a false analogy. NOBODY believes in it.”
That’s not important. it’s not why anyone invented the invisible pink unicorn bless her holy tint.
Thing is, the evidence offered for any of mankinds’ gods is just as good for evidence of the IPU.
“People believe in God, whether they're wrong or right that belief means something.”
Only in an argument from popularity fallacy. Is that what you’re trying to flog?
“The unicorn thing is essentially nonsensical, because it's too specific.”
The entire POINT of the ipu is her nonsense.
“There ARE things that lead people to believe in the supernatural, but nothing that points to any aspect of this supernatural realm having anything to do with unicorns."
Okay. Now you’re just bitching that the magic solution isn’t YOUR magic solution. Same argument as above could be used by a Muslim. ‘There are things that lead people to believe in the supernatural, but nothing that points to any aspect of this supernatural realm being three gods living as one being.’
Similar, any greek. “There are things… But nothing points to a monotheist divinity.”
“No one claims to have been visited by a unicorn, but people do claim to have been visited by God, to have talked to God, to have seen God.”
And people have been visited by Thor, spoken to Inanna, been fucked by Zeus. Do you find any of their testimony compelling?
“It does not matter at all (at least for the sake of this argument) whether they're or lying or not. Simply by claiming these things, they distinguish a belief in god from these ridiculously pointless and falsely analogous beliefs in unicorns and spacewhales.”
The IPU isn’t about the faith, She is about the arguments.
