I care little about such things. I believe that statements are irrelevant from who makes them. It is fallacy territory, if you give credit to an argument because of who made it. Same for discredit.

That's why using words wrong and using non arguments bothers me. I like reason and reasoning. Using words wrong makes reasoning non sensical. If handal wants to talk about how vile incest is, ok. But handal seems to think that incest means to abuse your own kids (or parents if you look at what happened in the Bible), while the rest of the world thinks that brother and sister getting it on, is incest. Also cousins marrying is incest too and rather common. One cannot have a discussion, if people talk about different things but use the same word.

But at this point, handal is just trolling and venting. Or using yet another word wrong. Did you look at that link where supposedly christian fanatics would practice incest? It is an problematic event for other reasons, neatly outlined in the article, but incest is not among those problems. It is a fathers and daughters dance event and comes from those virginity pledging crazes.

They presumed much and chose to use broad judgement, aaaand now I can't reply to them.
Unless they try to swat me, that slanderous troll is not my problem anymore.
I chose to be as civil as I could, maybe engaging was the wrong move.

Addendum: I notice they have kept editing every post. We can't shouldn't argue with someone willing to edit posts to be "correct" all the time. Engaging with them was a bad call.

On a different note: just the name of that link alone creeps me out. Really, I didn't ask about it and I didn't look.


Edit 2: corrected grammatical error

You can hover over the link. It is a wikipedia article about a so called purity ball. It is a similar thing like those purity rings and pledges. Naming that link an incest activity hints that the poster is either a troll, confused links, did not read that article, or my favorite: still does not know what incest means.

The poster seems to dislike the bible and people being fanatic about it. But also disliking people that play "questionable" adult games. All the while liking adult games. It is the usual hypocrisy. I am doing it right, but if you do it, you do it wrong. Your brain rots by playing those games, while my brain thrives.

Banning games that have incest in it, but allowing children to play games where you are awarded for killing. This is the type of idiocy this is all about and it attracts a lot of people having opinions that are not soundly reasoned, but emotional. So telling them in detail why they are wrong might make them explode and retreat in their echo chamber. But letting BS stand uncontested sets a bad example. Also on a side note, it is bad training data for the AIs, if we train them with fallaciously reasoned opinions ;-)

Thanks for sharing, would never have gone to his link but it's an interesting topic, pledges of purity and such
And as you say also- even if he's some hateful bellend who will just explode and run away back to his echo chamber preaching whatever horrid things they do.. Other people will still read this thread or these messages, and if there was someone who lightly agreed with him, hope we can sway them to a better path at least - all the other people who read but don't comment or even like matter too, should always argue intellectually honest for their sake and eyes as well as our own, no matter what bad faith actor we're arguing against
