"You think you have reasons to believe in God. But actually, you only believe it because you can't stand the idea of going out of existence when you die. You don't have reasons, just rationalizations."
How many times have you heard this?

Informal Fallacy Test
This was the Quote of the Day a year ago on Debunking Christianity
Faith is a belief in an unknown or unrealized proposition in spite of evidence that the belief is incorrect. Faith is clearly NOT a belief in an unknown or unrealized proposition that is SUPPORTED by the evidence, because if that belief was supported by the evidence, it ipso facto does NOT REQUIRE Faith.
Which fallacy, if any, is committed in the above passage?
a. ad hominem
b. begging the question
c. red herring
d. no fallacy
