Give fallacious argument/statement. Next poster must name the fallacy and then provide a new fallacious argument or statement (I'm not sure what word to use for "argument" ).

First argument:

John - No real Christian takes the Pope seriously.
James - What about the Catholics?
John - Catholics aren't real Christians.

I think the word you're looking for is papists (or popish, as in the Popish Plot), but more to the point would be Marist.
