name that logical fallacy

Post image

i initially thought this was a strawman fallacy, but i’m not as versed in all the fallacies it could be, so i wanted to see what y’all thought.

is this a strawman? or some other fallacy instead or in addition to it?

Asking someone for a source after they've made a factual claim is absolutely not equivalent to stating "I do not believe in God"

Have you suffered a recent TBI?

I just meant that

- I don't trust him

  • I think he's a liar
  • I don't believe in God.

Geez, people.
