5 Fallacies a day - Day 2

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 - 

If people don’t want to fight fair - or argue fair - then walk away. Don’t engage. 

and here are 5 ways people try to trick you to do just the opposite.

 

 

12. Red herring A red herring is an emotionally charged issue brought up to divert attention from something the manipulator wants to avoid.

Why do we need to tax the rich even more? Well if you had ever grown up with your moms newest boyfriend stealing your stuff, and your to poor buy groceries… I was suicidal the whole time growing up. You want kids to kill themselves just so the rich can get richer?

 

 

13. Shifting the burden of proof Manipulators know that having to prove an argument true makes their job more difficult; so they try to shift that burden to their opponent.

I have actually seen Christians do this. they get into a debate or argument with an atheist and they say “well prove there is no God… if you can’t actually prove there is no God then I guess there is one”.

Well that sounds logical at first… but it’s not. There is a God because of many reasons- but not because you can’t prove there is not a God. You don’t prove things out of a void. 

 

14. Slippery slope This implies that the end result of today's actions could be something terrible.  

If I give you a raise you will have extra money and you will use it for drugs and alcohol And we all know you have a problem with that… and then your parents blame me for you throwing your life away. 

 

 

15. Spin Spin doctors use the media to positively represent their own viewpoints and encourage criticism of others. For example, after a political debate, each side rallies to declare their version of the outcome, hoping to spin the desired perception their way. 

If you have ever seen the CNN and Fox news coverage of a presidential debate your swear they both saw different debates. They spin whatever comes their way to make it look in their favor.

Bill Cosby tells a joke about his father coming up stairs and yelling at he and his brother… quit jumping on the bed. If I come up here again you all getting a whooping. Sure enough they are jumping on the bed again… their Dad comes up and says alright you all getting a whopping. Bill says it wasn’t us… his dad laughs and said well then who was it. Bill said. a man climbed through the window and jumped on the bed and then ran off. His Dad said “Your room ain’t got no window…. Bill replies… uh, he brought it with him. 

Spinning the facts for your advantage…. 

 

16. Straw man "You say you want to reform the criminal justice system. What, do you want to free all the criminals?" We do this all the time: take an argument we disagree with and mischaracterize it so it looks weak or extreme, thus making our own side appear more reasonable.

Again this is classic abortion drivel. So you want all the women who are raped and get pregnant to miss school or lose their jobs.

Look we can disagree and still love those we disagree with. When we realize that satan has blinded the minds of those who do not see scripture as truth.
