"That may be ad homineum, but it is a direct quote from the Bible. Perhaps you should take it up with God in your prayers? Explain to Him why his rantings against idols are illogical?"

Well, the day God comes as a regular guy and you can talk to him. Come on!!, are you silly enough not to discover that it is a condemnation, ad hominem, made by MEN, towards a life style?. Please, where did reason go?
Kay, does God often answer your prayers verbally? If so, I think you'd better make an appointment with a psychiatrist, STAT.

Read the whole thread. They confuse aztecs with mayans, admit being bible brain-washed fundies, say that other gods existed and were false prophets, because God stops their prophecies from becoming true, and lots more.

Perhaps Kay should use the brain that god gave him.
That would be a sin.
I used to talk to God. I never got a response.
They're not talking to Gawd on that thread, Kay, they're talking to you. No fair passing the buck. They want you to answer, so if you can't answer just say so. Don't refer them to your imaginary sky fairy.
"That may be ad homineum, but it is a direct quote from the Bible.”
How is that supposed to stop it from being an ad hominem?
If you’re attacking the person, not the argument, it’s ad hom.
If YOU are using scripture to attack a person as a means of dismissing their argument, it’s you being ad hominemious.
“Perhaps you should take it up with God in your prayers?”
You’re the one using or misusing the quote.
You’re the one being illogical.
“Explain to Him why his rantings against idols are illogical?"
I don’t think he’s real. And it doesn’t matter if God wrote the verse or some second-century political activist, or Moses. You’re using it here, you defend it.
Otherwise, you seem to be using a bastard form of ‘respect for authority’ fallacy. God said it, you say, we have to question God.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
