Christians, do you believe using logical fallacies to support your position is justified?

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.
