Here’s another fun succinct discussion—that puts the fun in dys-fun-ction.
A certain Cas Lewis decided to post the following comment on my Facebook/Meta page:
This Ken guy, he’s what you call an idiot. At least learn grammar, dude. Also, Jesus never existed.
I, True Freethinker, replied:
Good day, I pray I find you well. The statement “This Ken guy, he’s what you call an idiot” is incoherent since it’s a jump to a conclusion of an assertion.
A cogent comment would have been “This Ken guy, he’s what you call an idiot because ____________” and then fill in the blank.
As for “At least learn grammar, dude” well, that’s another of the same issue and, FYI, those of us for whom English is a second language and who suffer form some form of dyslexia prefer empathy but I realize that some people are just saturated with hatred.
As for “Jesus never existed”: since that’s a positive affirmation you must prove it, please do so.
Did you note the irony that when referring to dyslexia I actually wrote “form” rather than “from”?
Cas Lewis replied:
YOU have to prove it.
I get you about your other 2 points, but you have to prove a positive, not a negative.
Just google “Jesus never existed” and you get some interesting information.
True Freethinker:
So, you got caught making an incoherent jump to a conclusion of an assertion, failed to make a cogent comment even when called out on it, and also made a positive affirmation “Jesus never existed” that you’re incapable of proving.
You then say about me, “YOU have to prove it” but how could or would I prove “Jesus never existed” since I don’t believe that?
Just read my three books on historical Jesus issues and you get some interesting information: https://truefreethinker.com/no-end-books-publications
Cas Lewis:
Thanks!

Yes, that’s literally how it went and I’m unsure what to make of it other than there are reasons for focusing on issues and not getting emotionally upset.
See my various books here.
