I believe-- help my unbelief : a credible witness -- Common logical fallacies. Love is a fallacy / You're all hypocrites! : unqualified and hasty generalizations. It's dangerous to believe you're right : causes and contradictions. You have insulted us all : sentiment, false analogy and poisoning the well -- Good arguments that often fail. People can't communicate--what? : arrogance, aggression and cleverness ; I don't get it : misreading the audience ; What a harebrained idea! : worldviews and evolution ; Who am I to judge? : worldviews and relativism ; The heart wants what it wants : moral blindness -- Good arguments that work.
