I'm convinced the internet doesn't actually want apologies. Some things ARE unforgivable, and nobody is obligated to forgive anyone. But even when someone sincerely acknowledges their wrongdoing, apologizes, and tries to do better, it's never enough. They just want you to suffer

"Superman and Lanterns didn't hit the pop culture zeitgeist," "Superman and Clayface were not financially successful," and "Gunn and Safran didn't have plans for Wonder Womanand Batman" are statements so unbelievably false. I'm watching propaganda in real time

I am curious why all of the folks who are outraged at James Talarico's theology aren't equally outraged by the president's.
“I'm a religious person, so in theory I go to heaven,” President Trump says, discussing what he thinks happens after death. “I don't want to go to hell.” cbsn.ws/4iJ55dC

Out of all the disciples of Christ excluding Judas, John was the only one to die of old age, the rest were executed in the most horrific and agonizing ways imaginable for refusing to deny Christ. Personally I’d call that more than enough evidence of sincerity

Your shortage of grace is showing. Why not just engage him according to his words?

Let's reframe this: Jesus ascended out of their view. I don't know if you've read the rest of the bible, but God is clearly playing to the audience he created, and has a perfect knowledge of their perception.

I've prevented suicides for half of my life and I will tell you directly
Yes, suicide IS selfish.
I'd never say it directly to a suicidal person, and nobody else should either, but a fact is a fact

Slippery slope isn't even always a fallacy, it can just be used fallaciously.

A lot of "fallacies" are just rhetorical flourishes-- their purpose wasn't meant to construct a watertight argument, it was to use emotional appeal to get your opponent or the audience to consider a new perspective or re-examine their priors.
Like, Yes, Brian, a slippery slope is not a logically unassailable argument. Neither is an appeal to authority or reductio. Congratulations on missing the point.

The best logical fallacy is the "fallacy fallacy", which means that your opponent using a fallacy doesn't mean their argument is necessarily wrong. More people need to know about this because a lot of online debating has turned into a game of spot-the-fallacies and nothing else.
