Hard to tell. From what I've seen, the majority of them are ignorant of formal (or even informal) logic, so they haven't got a clue what a fallacy even is, let alone that they're using them. I have, however, run across a fair number who *do* know what fallacies are, and *do* use them intentionally -- because their target audience doesn't know what they are, and they know that.
So they don't care. The first case above is a result of ignorance; the second of dishonesty, making them also hypocrites :).
Yes. It is a rhetorical technique to fool the ignorant in to thinking that the apologist has proved something when they have not. Of course it's not just apologists, I do it to juries all the time.
Hingara, all of presuppositional apologetics is based on the fallacy of petitio principii.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
