tagged since over two years, not a recognised fallacy. Tallard (talk) 03:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[]

If kept it would need renaming as it's not a recognised fallacy. In that sense, the "phrase" (as you aptly named it, whether intentionally or not) is generally fallaciously used by religious dogmatics to undermine the validity of other viewpoints. How does one name an article to indicate the opposite, I am not sure.--Tallard (talk) 18:28, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[]
