“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

There you go again.

What he said was a quip, not a formal argument.
A logical fallacy doesn't depend on format of an argument.
Thus it was not a fallacy.

No charge for the logic lesson.
I want a refund for my time spent, trying to get you to understand simple logic applications. It was a fallacious argument/statement. A very common example of one.
As for the quip........he makes a good point, one that is shared by a great many people, he just said it more cleverly.

That is how quips work, you can say something cleverly but if a wide range of people don't identify with the point it goes nowhere.
Nothing clever about it, except in your own mind which apparently doesn't have room for researching fallacies.

It's not an argument.

it dies depend on that.

Lol.

insults again. Not effective, and not christ like. Which shows the accuracy of the quip.

No, it was a quip, not an arguement. Take your condescension, put it to the side. And take a logic class.

Ah, again, logic gets you, the fact that it is so widely circulated and still used all these decades later demonstrates that it does indeed have an enduring cleverness.
 
It's not an argument.
You don't even seem to understand what constitutes an argument. Enjoy the rest of your day.

And you don't seem to understand that your part in this exchange is a great demonstration why his quip hits home.

So many Christians are so unlike christ. Your behavior here is a good example.

Oh and by the way, a quip is not an arguement.

This might help.

Quip:

a witty or funny observation or response

Arguement (logic):


any group of propositions of which one is claimed to follow from the others through deductively valid inferences that preserve truth from the premises to the conclusion.


What he said was a quip not an arguement.

Check your un christ like condescension.

You've been proced wrong.

You really believe Ghandi was joking?
 
I remember another quote about Christianity, something like that the world was inoculated with just enough false Christianity so as to make it immune to the real thing.
 
Gandhi, not Ghandi.
 
I know. I already gave you the definition.

Post 104.

Did you forget?
You gave a definition without checking to see how it’s defined in other dictionaries. One of the synonyms cited, in my source, relates it to the word “joke”. Since you already stated GhandI was not joking you lost your own argument. He made a statement seated in the hasty generalization fallacy. I’ll accept your concession when you can be open to blowing it.
 
Wait.

So Christ didn't have a four-wheel drive and carry a gun?

Ghandi wasn't joking. But it was a quip, and funny.

It’s difficult and pointless to argue with someone who is too proud to admit when they clearly don’t understand the difference between a quip and argument. Ghandi made a statement which can be logically evaluated. It’s been so, and I showed conclusively that it was a fallacious argument consistenting of a hasty generalization. You can have the last word. You’ve wasted enough of my time.

Oh come on.

I already proved you wrong on that in post 104.

The Ghandi quote is a quip, not an arguement.

As I already proved.

Give it up.

Mahatma Gandhi

Love the quote.

Christians tend to be the most un-christ like people I have ever met.......full of judgement, hypocrisy and self righteous disdain for those who don't share their beliefs.
