Is anyone familiar with the "No True Scotsman" fallacy?
See here:
http://www.logicalfallacies.info/presumption/no-true-scotsman/https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/no-true-scotsmanYou've probably encountered a variation such as "You were never really converted" or "You never really had a testimony" or "You never really felt the Spirit" etc.
I have had relatives try to convince me to take another look at Mormonism by proclaiming that such a notable atheist as C.S. Lewis himself returned to Christianity.
It is amusing to consider that Mr. Lewis was never a "true atheist", as fallacious as that logic might be... Of course, most Mormons aren't familiar with logical fallacies whatsoever, so you might actually get away with that rejoinder!
