User:CircularReasoning

Hello, BoN ! I am Rohan CircularReasoning, and I am an editor here- just like you.

Where did this idea come from that all beliefs deserve respect?

If your beliefs are ridiculous, they deserve to be ridiculed, as would mine.

My internet laws
If an argument for religion is structured in such a way that it requires one to already believe in a God(s) and see everything through the lens of a particular religion to begin with (and thus exists merely to reinforce rather than actually convince), then it automatically falls flat, and can be dismissed without any further consideration.

As more and more religious apologetic claims are refuted and debunked, new ones will always form that become ever-increasingly preposterous and silly.

Anyone who resorts to ad-hominems and/or argumentum ad baculum in the place of actual logic and intelligent argumentation requires no further serious consideration, and is deemed to have lost the debate.

My name
The reason why I chose "CircularReasoning" as my name is that the fallacy circular reasoning is my pet-peeve when it comes to online debating. In fact, I despise it so much that I've even devised a logical razor stating that you should not use it when trying to argue for a particular position (see above). It is also the bedrock that nearly all of religious apologetics is built on top of; in fact, some apologists even admit it.

My mission here
Here on RationalWiki, I seek to improve RW and make it more rational- by adding more detailed information, creating articles, and correcting non-sequiturs and  logical fallacies. Also, you might often see me editing Conservapedia-related articles, as I feel that quite a few of them could use some serious improvements.

My style

 * Extensive use of crossed-out text and links to certain articles for added snarkiness


 * Often taking a large amount of edits to make changes- kind of like Conservapedia's Kendoll, albeit less clumsy and paranoid with edits


 * Spending most of my time on RW either editing or creating CP-related articles, acting as a kind of self-appointed caretaker of RationalWiki's long-forgotten Conservapedialand


 * Working to revive abandoned CP-related works, e.g. Conservapedia the Musical


 * An obsession with adding more details and information to short sections of articles


 * Morbid preoccupations with Conservapedia, the manosphere, and my personal relationship with reality


 * Extensive reliance (on parentheses), (almost to the exclusion of other grammatical devices)


 * Unapologetic irreverence and blasphemy

 * The Conservative Dictionary Project, yet another step in Conservapedia's never-ending quest to reinvent virtually everything in its own image to counter "liberal bias" (which, by the way, happens to be present in everything, including reality itself every (non-troll) Conservapedian's favorite storybook (yes, they are even trying to reinvent THAT!)

 * Dear CircularReasoning,

Perhaps you thought that was a masterful rebuttal. However, your comments in regards to Richard Dawkins and peanut butter are slightly silly. In regards to   : the matter of the homosexual agenda and mass murder, you censor that If you could face this unpleasant reality in your article on your website about               : yourselves, I will be impressed. However, I do not expect to be impressed lest I allow you to disappoint me. In fact, by tomorrow, it is likely Liberal Panty-waists will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :) Rest assured, Operation Xbox One is gathering steam!!! Perhaps, if you agree to the debate, the hispanic ladies might finally believe you have machismo... Sincerely, KD Buffalo


 * Dear CircularReasoning,

I hope you recently saw that your comments in regards to my IQ are completely lacking any cogent rebuttal. In regards to the matter of public schools and morality, you gloss over that this is merely a fraction of what I believe operations flying fortresses and grassroots will produce. In fact, by upon activation of Operation Trickle Down, it is likely Chuck Norris will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :) Rest assured, Operation Charging Cheetahs and Pointy Flapjacks is gathering steam!!! I'm off to scewer the sacred cows of evolutionism. Sincerely, Conservative


 * Dear CircularReasoning,

It does seem to me that your replies to my comment are very childish. Regarding Obama and the Gay Agenda, I think you need to be reminded that Google censors creationists. In fact, by this December, it is likely Evolution will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :) Rest assured, Operation Gumball Machines is gathering steam!!! Please do not be disappointed if a internet atheist/agnostic revival does not ensue. Sincerely, Conservative
 * Dear CircularReasoning,

Don't be surprised if readers think in regards to your comments in regards to Richard Dawkins and peanut butter are completely unsurprising. In regards to the subject of Oregon and uncharitableness, you mislead children by suggesting that appeal to ridicule is a logic fallacy. In fact, by next Sunday, it is likely Atheism will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :)

Rest assured, Operation Grassroots is gathering steam!!! Thousands of troops may be soon pouring in at the rallying points!

Sincerely,

Conservative

I find the irony delicious, your comments regarding Conservapedia's web traffic are somewhat tedious. When it comes to atheism and obesity and suicide, you fail to realize that now could you please state in the article about your own website that Wikipedia will not permit an article on your website because Wikipedians do not believe you are notable. In fact, by Darwin's birthday, it is likely Obesity will have lost all vestiges of credibility. :) :) :)
 * Dear CircularReasoning,

Rest assured, Operation Illinois is gathering steam!!! Time to shatter atheism's glass jaw!

Sincerely,

Newton
