Which type of faulty debate tactics you had used, when debate with some atheists about your religious claims?
Choice of answers:
(1) Making bold empty claim.
(2) Making strawman argument.
(3) Reply with irrelevant stuff or moving goal posts.
(4) Change the definition of words to engage in sophistry.
(5) Say something like "go read my religion's book to find the evidence of my claims" - poor cop out. Don't bother to back up my claim with detailed evidence, instead provide vague statement like "the evidence is in my religion's book, go find it yourself".
(Yeah sure, the universe is created by The Flying Spaghetti Monster, the evidence is in the book "The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster", go find it yourself. Oh, you don't want to read it? Resort to bold empty threat: You'll regret someday in the future! You read it and didn't find the evidence? Read it again, with sincere attitude; or, only my true interpretation can correctly decipher the true meanings of that book; or, you have no faith at all; or, i'll pray for you. Seriously...)
(6) Making bold empty threat - atheists will go to hell if they don't obey the God i believe in.
(7) Making bold empty threat - atheists will regret if they don't obey the God i believe in.
(8) I think the debate tactics listed above are not faulty. I think it's perfectly rational and logical for me to use the debate tactics listed above.
(9) I had used some of the faulty debate tactics listed above. I recognize it's a mistake to do so.
(10) I haven't use any of the faulty debate tactics listed above, ever.
Extra choice of answers:
(11) Ignore the debate opponent's point, and repeat my previous religious claims ad nauseam.
(12) Put the debate opponent in my ignore list and repeat my previous religious claims ad nauseam.
(13) Ignore the debate opponent's point and run away. Someday in the future make the same religious claims again, when confront, run away again. Repeat...
(14) Reply with incomprehensible sentences or word salad.
(15) Don't reply to the debate opponent's post, instead rate their post as funny/optimistic.
