An Alternative to Answering Ad-Ignorantiam Question Fallacies

An Alternative to Answering

Rather than trying to answer, why not point out the fallacy? Ad-ignorantiam-question fallacies can’t prove anything. They can’t generate truth. They just muddy the water. You can ask whether the skeptic wants the truth. Sometimes, you might get caught in mind games. At those times you can focus on the game rather than answering fools according to their foolishness and becoming a fool like them. Show them the difference. Explain that you know and listen to Christ. Explain that they make up stuff and use smokescreen fallacies but have no path to truth.
