Logical fallacy of Reductio ad absurdum. Thank you the Mea Scripturaista have not posted one of these in a while. I am glad to see that you all can still nail it so well.
I think it's more of a lack of comprehension due to years and years of indoctrination.
Again, just change the name and insert _____ and you should get the meaning.
Not to pick at nits, and not entering into the actual meat of your discussion here, but Reductio ad absurdum is actually a valid form of argument:

The idea is that by switching contexts one can show, for example a double standard. Imagine, for example, the press playing softball with a Republican Secretary of State wiping their outside-the-system server of all email records. It wouldn’t happen. The absurdity demonstrates the bias of the media. So it is not a fallacy per se. Just sayin ..
Peace,

Is this the newest pejorative being used against fellow Christians who believe the Bible is the primary authority for the rule of the Christian faith or is it your own "witty" creation?
