What a cop-out.

What a red herring. To wit: Fail to engage the point made (multiple Protestant denominations with identical presuppositions); then drag out a dead fish and scream "SMELL THIS!!"

A Red Herring is a fallacy in which an irrelevant topic is presented in order to divert attention from the original issue. The basic idea is to "win" an argument by leading attention away from the argument and to another topic
