LOL! What? Since when is the judicial system strict to the letter of the law? Ever heard of Roe v. Wade? Plessy v. Ferguson? Judicial activism guy.And yet, with today's judicial system being completely strict to the letter of the law
I refuse to choose. It's as simple as that. It would be horrible of me to sentence my child to death for my transgressions, so I don't choose.the authority would probably turn down your plea and reassert the question: which child dies?
Again though, the whole point is that you're purposely making up an absurd situation that wouldn't happen in order to create a dilemma for evidence of your assertions, rather than actually relying on what is already available to you.Or that someone is willing to have you falsely convicted. That part was mostly irrelevant; the point was what choice do you make in a no-win situation, not whether the situation would arise in your particular case.
Then I'd question whether you really understand what those fallacies mean.Also, your list of logical fallacies make no sense. I know what every one of those means, and I fail to see how any of them apply.
Wait... are we talking about little children or tribes in jungles?I used 'confession' in the wrong sense then, Perhaps professing, admitting or acknowledging might have been better.
I've never seen that film. Mind explaining these forms of manipulation/guilt trips?More specific to the ones that press their belief in others, and use a form of guilt as a tool to manipulation... The film Jesus Camp goes to exemplify this...
The Book of Thomas was a forgery, not inspired by the Holy Spirit, and is an example of Gnostic writings. It doesn't belong in the Bible.Rather while I admit I am not fully learned on the history of the Bible itself, could the validity of the Bible be called into question (aside from mistranslations etc) because of the ommitance of an entire work? The Book of Thomas being an example...
Humanism is in direct contradiction to Christianity. It's policies are generally associated with secularism, anti-theism, and socialism. I would never call myself a humanist and I doubt most Christians would.To me it shows how "humanistic" the Bible really is... I don't know...
