cosmological argument

1. the argument which states: anything which is an effect must have a cause.

2. the argument which states: anything that exists has a beginning.

1. the universe is an effect, therefore the universe has a cause.

2. the universe exists, therefore the universe has a beginning.

Trumpian argument

Logical fallacy. repetitive stating of discredited accusations, conspiracy theories, and unrelated events for the soul purpose of conflating them with attempts at logical discourse.

When I asked my son if the dishes were done he provided the Trumpian argument that Epstein didn't kill himself, and asked where the missing emails are.

Strawman Arguments

Strawman Arguments (I call them Stickman Arguments, sometimes) are arguments in which someone who you are debating takes your points and twists them to get ground on you in order to form a refutation in which they are correct.

Person A: *Signs on to start a topic saying:* For anyone out there who questions God because God doesn't always answer your prayers, the truth is: God doesn't help us because we have free will.

Person B: That's an unsound argument because it has no ground to stand on and it is overused. It's like saying, "What if I'm right and you're wrong and you go to Hell?" to an atheist.

Person A: We're not talking about Hell, therefore your refutation has no grounds.

Person B: Please take your strawman arguments somewhere else

Person A: You're going to burn in Hell for not believing in God!

Person A signs off.

Person B facepalms.

Pointless argument

A pointless argument is when you argue with someone that can’t back up their argument so they either say the same things multiple times, make fun of you, or just can’t admit they are wrong.

“What are you doing?”

“Having a pointless argument with Camilo right now”
“ I hate when he argues, he can’t admit that he’s wrong sometimes”

Treadmill Argument

An opinion driven argument that goes nowhere and solves nothing, typically religious or political in nature, made by people who only think they're correct.

Do you want to actually figure out what's wrong here, or exercise your mouth with this treadmill argument?
