		<title>Lessons in Logic #10: The Bandwagon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Bandwagon is another logical fallacy that is also a form of propaganda. Someone using the Bandwagon is attempting to win the debate through popularity rather than logic. Anyone who has ever been a child has probably used the Bandwagon.

		<title>Lessons in Logic #9: Equivocation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A play on words can be humorous, but it can also be a logical fallacy. Equivocation exchanges one definition of a word for another. Take the following examples:

It&#8217;s wrong for a man to beat his wife. When Mike played his wife Cheryl in a game of chess, he beat her. Therefore, what Mike did was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tough Questions for Republicans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last couple of years, I have drastically reduced the amount of posts I do on political issues, to the point of doing almost none. This is something I thought was interesting though, and would like to share my thoughts.
The Democrats are licking their wounds after the upset of Scott Brown in Massachusetts. Fortunately [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons in Logic #8: Appeal to Pity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Also known as Argumentum ad Misericordiam, the Appeal to Pity is a form of Red Herring argument in which logic is abandoned in favor of an emotional response, specifically pity. Because the Appeal to Pity is manipulative in nature, it also falls under the umbrella of propaganda.

		<title>Lessons in Logic #7: Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc fallacy is also known as &#8220;After this, therefore because of this&#8221;. It&#8217;s a very common fallacy, easy to commit, and often difficult to detect. It&#8217;s based on the assumption that if A happens after B, A was caused by B.
This is the fallacy that starts superstitions. When a baseball [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons in Logic #6: Appeal to Authority</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re categorizing fallacies as sub-fallacies of others, the Appeal to Authority would be a sub-fallacy of the Genetic Fallacy. It is used when experts are cited that are not experts in the subject at hand.

		<title>Lessons in Logic #5: The Genetic Fallacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Genetic Fallacy is one in which an argument is supported or dismissed based on its origin, rather than its merit. It is similar to the Ad Hominem attack, and can even be easily confused with Ad Hominem, but rather than attacking the person making the argument, the source is attacked.
Here&#8217;s an example to explain [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons in Logic #4: Tu Quoque</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tu Quoque is a form of ad hominem. It means &#8220;You too&#8221;. It&#8217;s often called &#8220;The You Too Fallacy&#8221;.
The way Tu Quoque works is that a person&#8217;s argument is dismissed because he is guilty of violating his own argument. He is hung on his inconsistency.

		<title>Lessons in Logic #3: Ad Hominem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If distorting or distracting from an argument isn&#8217;t beneficial, the next fallacy often employed is the Ad Hominem, which means &#8220;against the man&#8221;. It&#8217;s also known as a personal attack. In an ad hominem argument, the credibility, reputation, or motives of the person is maligned.
It doesn&#8217;t matter if the attack on the person is legitimate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons in Logic #2: The Red Herring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the last lesson, we looked at the Straw Man fallacy. Similar to the Straw Man is the Red Herring.
In the sport of fox hunting, trainers would drag dead herring across the trail in order to train their dogs to stay on the right scent. When a dog was correctly trained, it would stay on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons in Logic #1: The Straw Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Straw Man is a logic fallacy that you probably see all of the time, but often don&#8217;t notice. In using a Straw Man, one person redefines, distorts, misrepresents, or exaggerates another&#8217;s statement or argument in a way that is much easier to attack than what was actually said. If you got into a fight [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons in Logic: Introduction</title>

It wasn&#8217;t something I was taught in my 13 years of government schooling (including Kindergarten), nor my 5 years in college earning a professional degree. Mind you, I took the most advanced [...]]]></description>

Pastor Eric Douma joins me this episode to discuss two theological rules used to prove the deity of Christ from two different verses of New Testament. The construction of John 1:1 in the original Greek disproves Sabellianism (Modalism) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is it Really Hatred?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Christian Worldview is often misunderstood, and often deliberately mischaracterized. The reality is that we begin with an understanding of the inherent evil that is within us all. Every man, woman and child ever born (excepting only Jesus Himself), has within himself a selfishness and desire for the destructive that he cannot avoid. Left to [...]]]></description>

I have found some people that whose opinions I greatly respect, and often influence my own, take exception to my view as expressed on August 21. I would like to [...]]]></description>

		<title>God&#8217;s Corrective Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a few years since I&#8217;ve written about the amazing correlation between large-scale events that defy God and corresponding disaster. Back in September 2004, I wrote about Bill Koenig&#8217;s research into the U.S. Government putting pressure on Israel on the same day that hurricanes hit our country. Many pass these off as coincidences, but [...]]]></description>

In that episode, he announced a book that he was in the process of writing. That book has been completed, and at the time of the recording of this [...]]]></description>
