Here is my argument.
1. Happy people to to heaven.
2. People who get drunk become happy.
3. Let's all get drunk and go to heaven.
My pastor says I'm way off base here. Where am I going wrong LemonJello?

1. Not all happy people go to heaven.
2. Not all drunk people become happy.
3. Oh, and of course, there is no heaven.
I can get behind the let's get drunk part, though.
Originally posted by whodeyFor starters, that's not a deductive argument. A deductive argument is supposed to have a conclusion whose truth follows deductively, given the truth of the premises. But your conclusion (3) is not even a proposition; it's just some sort of exhortation. Your (3) does not have a truth value, any more than does that movie time jingle "Let's all go to the lobby..."

There are plenty more reasons why you are off base here, if you need.

(1) If God does not exist, then it is not the case that if I am evil, I will be punished after I die.
(2) I am not evil.
Therefore:
(3) God exists.

1. My pastor says my premise is off base and is a Christian.
2. LJ agrees with my pastor.
3. LJ must be a Christian.
