I am not a proponent of Scientology by any stretch, I just think it is tacky to try to tear down someone’s argument by attacking them based on their religion.

Oh, and you also attacked Dr. Carson’s faith. I don’t share his faith, but I think it is classless to attack his ideas by attacking his faith.

I don’t support Dominion Theology or Word of Faith Theology, nor am I Baptist, but you don’t see me attacking Senator Cruz’s positions by attacking his faith. OH, BTW,e Heidi Cruz was raised as a 7th Day Adventist, just like Dr. Carson...

Someone who actually believes in Scientology has to be considered a certified whack job.

Tell me, would you take into consideration the faith of a Koran thumping muslim when weighing their political ideology or judgment?

That wasn't me. I don't agree with 7th Day Adventists, but they are certainly not a mind control cult like Scientology. They are just overly legalistic. Not that any of them actually follow all the rules.

Attacking a person’s arguments for the truth through personal attacks which have nothing to do with the argument is always a false argument. People who have studied debate methodology know exactly what this is. It is a cheap trick.
