LOL no, I didn't realize that. I did have fun responding to it though.

To OP: Your entire post of drivel is the Argument from Ignorance.
Things are complex (subjective) != Jesus did it. So you can add non-sequitor and begging the question.
Any more logical fallacies for us?

Slightly similar subject:
We were in the mall today, and I found a bunch of those religious pamphlets in the bathroom, you know, the ones attempting to turn you from the 'dark' side,' even though the mall is filled with signs that read, "No soliciting.?"
Well, one was posted above the hand dryer, and on the front, it read in huge print;
"IS GOD REAL?"
I couldn't resist, so underneath, I wrote, "NO!" and reposted it where I found it. My fiancee got a little chuckle out of it when I told her.

I worked it out, and by diameter the sun really is about 400 times bigger than the moon. However, it's only about 390 times farther away, hence the small apparent size difference - the sun's 32 arc minutes in size, while the moon's 31.

I was drive-by God-solicited once. I was just standing at a bus stop with a friend having a chat while waiting for the bus, some bloke in a pick up jumped traffic in a rush to park, hop out, scurry over to us and hand us a pamphlet while telling us, "Because everyone deserves a chance."
What the fuck. Didn't even know me.

One day there was a little girl in the store where I work handing out religious pamphlets to strangers. It was sad.

I also added a little exposition on the back that went to the tune of "JUST LIVE YOUR FUCKING LIFE!"

I've seen people doing this--they have their brats hand out their pamphlets or harass strangers because kids are less likely to be told to FUCK OFF. It's like bringing kids to an anti-choice rally and making them hold "ABORTION KILLS BAYBEEZ WHAARRRGGARBLL!" signs or bringing them to political rallies. I think it's pretty close to child abuse, personally, but that's just me.

And if one of the pamphlet-giving ankle-biters adds a shinkick to their 'gift', how much more honest can they get?

Oh, also, I'd just not kick them in the crotch like I would an adult.

I wanted to do that to the girl at my job, but she appeared to be with her grandmother, who was a snooty, incredibly rude rich bitch who would've probably beaten me over the head.

My Mum used to work in the state public service, there was a religious nutter on staff who was a member of the "Festival of Light". He left little pamphlets on everyones desk that said "Light" on the front in big bold letters and had the usual lawd and personal savior shite inside. Most got tossed, he was reprimanded for misusing photocopiers.
