Creationism will lead to mass murder

Mojoey just did another rebuttal of the "Argument from Stalin." It occured to me that there's a much better rebuttal to be made:

1) Stalin was a mass murderer.
2) Stalin rejected Dawinian evolution. (Yup, that's right: he endorsed Lysenkoism)
3) Creationists reject Darwinian evolution.
4) Therefore, creationism will lead to mass murder.

This is of course tongue-in-cheeck, but rhetorically, it would probably work better than an abstract discussion of guilt-by-association.

1) Women generally have long hair
2) You have long hair
3) Therefore, you're probably a woman

Don't imagine you can out think us.

1) Stalin was an atheist
2) Stalin was a mass murderer
3) You're an atheist
4) Therefore, you're a mass murderer

How's it feel to be slashed by the cutting edge of reason?

You murderer. I feel so betrayed.

So the haircut's supposed to be ironic now?

Ot:

Stalin was a mass murderer.

Stalin had dark hair.

Therefore people with dark hair are mass murderers.
