    Yes I did! I made up, out of thin air, a god that is more powerful than the made up god of that theist.Nickolasgaspar

    Now who is using logical fallacy! How can you 'make up a god,' more powerful than a god that the theists have already posited is OMNIPOTENT, you buffoon!

    I exposed your ignorance on how Statistical Probabilities work.
    You are trying to hide the damage your claim did to your credibility and image...but without success.
    Look at the positive side...at least you learned how we calculate probabilities....and you learned the use of an Ad Absurdum argument

    I compared your initial claim and your excuse directly. They do not refer to the same statistical figure.

    Weel, I actually had the nuclear tests in mind and their effects. And the development of even bigger thermonuclear devices with 3000 times the destructive power of the two thrownHillary

    Human politicians and human military brass decided to do such tests. Perhaps many of them were theists. Perhaps some scientists completely sanctioned and even took part. ALL HUMANS!
    Science is not at fault here, science is a method of understanding empirical data and using any new knowledge gained in whichever way humans decide to use it. The responsibility for the use of tech lies with humans, atheist and theist (and every flavour in-between) humans have equal responsibility for how tech is used.

    And what about all extinct species or the animals killed in the atomic bomb tests..Hillary

    99% of all species ever on the planet have gone extinct, most of them due to natural selection. Humans are responsible for some extinctions but are you really trying to claim that all the damage done to the environment by human activity such as industrialisation was sanctioned and actioned by non-theists only?

    But with what do they kill...?Hillary

    Humans will kill using the best tech available as they usually want to kill their enemies but survive themselves regardless of the preferred label an individual chooses between theist and atheist.

    You are confused. I can not help you if you are not willing to educate yourself.
    Fallacy is an argument that proposes a conclusion without epistemic foundations (unsound) but not necessarily wrong.
    Since we don't know the truth value of the conclusion, its irrational to use this argument to justify a belief.
    An Ad Absurdum can be used by applying a true analogy(an example that matches all the characteristics of the claim) but with a small change. You use a similar assumption that he is forced to reject based on the same reasons you rejected yours. That technique exposes the absurdity of the initial belief in a fallacious argument.

    Now later I can help you with the alphabet........

    IT was a terrorist act by all standards.
    The Japanese would not have surrendered easily because this is what nations do when they are in war. Japan was an imperialistic threat like the US and Russia are till to this day, but the answer is not to bomb cities with civilians in them
    Nickolasgaspar

    You demonstrate the musings of a simpleton. Thank goodness we had better minds than dolts like you to decide between the deaths of thousands or the death of millions. War is hell, all war is criminal but defeating your enemy whilst protecting your own is a valid approach. No one can come out of a war with clean hands. Most veterans find it very traumatic to even talk about their experiences.

    The Italians surrendered easily in WW2 compared to the Japanese and the Italians inherited the legacy of the Romans. I think this actually speaks well for the Italians as does their own personal execution of Il duce. They were only fooled some of the time, whereas the Japanese were fooled all of the time based on their god-like projections regarding their f****** emperor Hellohito!

    - This is why we have rules and Laws of WAR. Does the Term "Geneva Convention" rings any bells?
    Stop attempting to justify the phenomenon we are trying to regulate through laws.
    Your reasoning could be used by any criminal to defend his crimes "Human nature in unequal and competitive societies becomes a bitch....why trying to regulate it"
