: : Thanks for the concise definition. I obviously was not engaged in argumentum ad hominem. I said you were a sinner. You are. That is no more an attack on your character than to say you are human. You may very well be the nicest, most intelligent human ever created. But , by definition, you are still a sinner.

: My argument was that your god is a demon with no sense of justice. I took your line "In other words, yes, you'd rather not be culpable" to be a response to my argument: ie, you brush aside my argument with an attack on me claiming I just want to escape consequences of my actions. I interpreted that as an Ad Hominem attack. Sorry if I misunderstood you.
