Does someone else being evil make them necessarily wrong?

Let's pretend for one second atheists were horrible people. Come on, guys. Imagination!

Does that instantly mean there has to be a god if Christians, or any religious people, were better people? Would that be actual evidence that god exists because "bad" people exist that don't think the same way?

BQ:

If Hitler said "2+2=4" in school as a child should we completely disregard that as a fact because he was a bad person?

    It is a logical fallacy to use an ad hominem attack to settle an argument. The quality of someone does not directly relate to the value of their arguments

    2+2=4,when did this happen

  • 7 years ago

    Throughout my life, teachers, clergyman, books, TV media, etc. Have told me to believe in Santa clause, easter bunny, boogie man, killers, wars, guns, thieves etc. They also tell me what's in space, under the ocean, what we breathe and I must believe it even though I haven't the means of testing and proving it myself. I'm tired of being told what to believe and how to act. I want to paint my own painting and find out for myself what is real. If I have to be a follower or a slave then kill me. "Give me freedom or give me death!"
