5 Fallacies a day - Day 1

Proverbs 26:4

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.

Proverbs 18:2

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

Proverbs 29:9

If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.

Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 18:6

A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.

 

The key to understanding a fair fight is stick to the topic at hand and stick to what scripture says - and here are 5 ways people try to trick you to do just the opposite. 

 

1. Ad hominem This trick, literally translated as “to the man,” subtly or overtly distorts a person's character, destroying their credibility no matter how valid their argument is. “How can you believe what they believe, they bomb abortion clinics, they made fun of my Mother, they don’t even have a job”

 

2. Appeal to authority Traditionally called Argumentum ad Verecundiam. People often listen to someone famous or powerful, even to a celebrity who has no connection with what's being endorsed.

You might hear or see it like this… Well Brad Pitt thanks God for blessing him and says he loves God and he thinks abortion is right”

All that matters is what God thinks and by that I mean what he says in his word.

 

3. Appeal to fear This trick causes your audience to fear others and seek your protection. "Politician X will take away your freedom of speech!"

Well if you don’t believe in climate change your kids will starve, freeze or burn up from the heat… thats what Bill Gates says! You better recycle like me and drive a hybrid and not use anything plastic.

 

4. Appeal to pity (or sympathy) "I know I made a poor decision. But let's just look at how hard this is." This allows manipulators to avoid responsibility for something.

I am not saying abortion is right or the best choice… but she was raped, she is in college, her boyfriend took off…

We can empathize and still stick to Gods word in a loving and accepting way. 

 

5. Appeal to popular passions Traditionally called Argumentum ad Populum. This trick implies that the manipulator shares the same views as the audience. "I know you'll all agree with this, ladies and gentlemen."

This might be thrown at you like this… well we all know God forgives right? And boy am I glad he does, we all mess up… who here hasn’t messed up. Right, see all the hands up in the air…so I can live with people committing crimes to promote an issue, they are just like us. we all have our own sins and we all need forgiveness.
