Does being mentally disabled make someone wrong, or is this a form of prejudice?

Debate Information

I won't name names, but a user on this site implied that I was wrong because I live with mental illness. Instead of refuting my claims with facts and evidence, this person used what I believe to be the ad homenim fallacy, and ablist bigotry. I also don't believe that me being mentally disabled makes me wrong, or even right, for that matter. i believe in logic, facts, and evidence, not appeals to emotion, or logical fallacies.

    through-out human history, people tended to shun those who are different than the rest of the tribe. those who are handicap either physically or mentally could genetically harm their very existence in the same way as a disease ridden individual could. in todays world very few handicap are taken seriouslly because of this.  I have known savants who could perform math in the blink of an eye yet fail in recalling the date.  so no, you are no wrong just because you have any sort of disorder.  @YeshuaBought
  • MayCaesarMayCaesar 5967 Pts   -  
    No. Your argument may or may not be wrong. But whether the argument is right or wrong is completely independent from who makes it. If Kim Jong-Un says that 2+2=4, does it make the claim that 2+2=4 wrong? Apparently not.

    Also, be careful with labels. "Mentally disabled" is a very broad term, and it is also quite subjective. Even if a doctor has diagnosed you with mental illness, you do not have to accept the diagnosis, as what is considered "mental illness" or not changes from year to year, and perhaps 50 years later nobody will view your condition as even worth mentioning.

    Just make the best with what you have. We all are limited by the properties of our brains and bodies, but all of us can achieve success in life if we just utilise our resources properly.

    @YeshuaBought ; When one lives a lie and refuses the truth that is before them, this is a form of psychosis...a refusal or inability to correctly perceive reality and evidence. You repetitively call yourself a Christian...a "gay Christian" when a simple understanding of the Scriptures wholly negates your claim...yet you persist as if your immorality is optional and you're somehow "special."  This is not healthy and you are living in deception and you are seeking death in sin and Hell because you mock God and His righteous decrees.

    Why don't you name me? 

    @Maxx asked a question and from several responses you claimed anyone who didn't know what reality is was mentally unwell , I asked you  and @CYDdharta to explain to me what reality was and you and he couldn't answer 

    You accused me of being mentally unwell for asking " what is reality " is but as usual turn it into an issue about you , so tell the forum what is reality as you said anyone who didn't know this was mentally unwell so explain please what's reality ?  Do you as a self confessed Christian wish to deny this as your god is a witness? Or you can as Christian admit you're  wrong and you're taking my character unjustly ,you most possibly will deny such yet go to church on Sunday and pray for sinners .....How do you sleep at night? 

    @YeshuaBought earlier today replied to a question I asked "

    @RickeyD Health is very important, and mental health is no exception. This is a very good observation, Thank you for bringing it up!
    At some point in the distant past, the universe went through a phase of cosmic inflation,
    Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.

    developed into the human race.

    You don't have the right to say that I am not a christian, when i am and you don't have the right to call yourself a Christian, when you make fun of my disability. You sir, are not a Christian, because you refuse to obey Jesus, when He said to do unto others, and you are just an ablist bigot. You don't have the right to call yourself a Christian, and treat people like ****! No one on this site takes you seriously, and you owe Jesus and us, an apology.

You are NOT a Christian....you are a servant of Satan unaware.
