A rabbi crossed the line at HuffPost

Or, petard hoisting is still so easy!

I see HuffPost nuttery isn't confined to antivaxxers.

Rabbi Adam Jacobs claims there are no true atheists.

A couple of his comments, with refutation:

. What I have found hard to understand from my new vantage point, however, is why so many of you spend so much time trolling around the comments section of religiously-themed blogs or spend good money to buy billboards on the Jersey Turnpike asserting a negative.

Actually, more of the trolling is by the religious on irreligious blog sites. The billboards assert the positives of not engaging in religious faith.

He then makes the ethical/moral argument for the validity of religious belief, mixed with a cultural one:

To me, however, the crux of the matter is incontrovertible. It is not the product of rational argument, nor expression of faith, but simple historical fact. The faith to which I ascribe has brought substantial light and unique meaning to the world.

OK, this is easy to shoot. First, per a typical monotheist, you must be exclusionist, as you admit. And, much of the world's bloodshed had been over monotheism. That's not just battles between monotheisms, but pogroms, holocausts by them against other groups. Note, dear rabbi, your Yahweh saying that not just the people but even the livestock of the Amalekites needed to be killed.

As for your linked "refutation" of Hume's deflating the argument from design, hand-waving isn't refutation.

And, dear rabbi, that's why we don't troll sites like yours, you're too illogical to bother with argumentation.

Have fun at AOL. Please, don't inflict Talmudic SEO spam on us.
