No. I didn't make the definition, as you can see above( post#34), my definition was taken from the dictionary.
Is it wrong to say "he isn't a footballer" if a footballer is one who plays ball (definition) - and he's never touched a ball?
I have not used "no true scotsman". I am arguing what the dictionary says and looking at the NT for help aswell. I also call myself christian, yet I will not find out if I have "played ball" untill judgement.
"No true scotsman" is a fallacy because the definition is dodgy, it doesn't fully describe a true scotsman, however, I take my definitions from the dictionary, and the last one clearly rules out murder. Do you think I invented the definition and therefore invented dictionary.com?
Please answer this post in the designated place AdminNed has given! I will make no more comments here!
