Christian says hugging is a sin
Historical archive only. New interaction is disabled.
Original Question
Id like to know what logical fallacy(s) this is.
"sin" is a relative term, so im sticking with logic when looking at this.
A christian (radical) does not hug because it is "wrong" in their eyes.
It is absurd, but its what they believe, i respect that, and id like to know the logic, or fallacious logic supporting their claim.
---------------------------------------
Christians avoid sin
touching before marriage is a sin
Therefore touching anyone other than your spouse is a sin
Hugging is touching
Therefore hugging is a sin
Accident Fallacy?
Over simplification?
Does not seem to be slippery slope.
Ideas please :)

4Underneath it all there is at least some very severe case of magical thinking , or how else would you describe the belief that there is some supernatural being which imposes moral imperatives?
I find that it is helpful to simplify the concept of 'sin' to mean 'to intentionally cause someone unnecessary suffering.' I understand that more religiously motivated can interpret 'sin' in much more militant way, to include for example, menstruating women mingling in public, cutting one's beard into 'trendy' designs, and to question the veracity of a book of half-baked superstitions.
Christian is an adjective
Aaron besmirch Christians
Therefore aaron is illogical, rude, and what not
Let's try another by interpolating Christian and Aaron in a logical way:
Aaron says hugging is a sin
Sin is ugly
Therefore Aaron is absurding's
And we can go on and
on with further counter
Besmiching examples and
Not necessarily by Christian
alike
Summary a no fallacy, that is Aaron has got using mixed-up answer "euphemism fallacy," at least in grammar to say nut's the least logic.

This is simply a case of poor interpretation of ambiguous text due to many factors such as biases, extreme views, and lack of comprehension, to name a few. Unless there is an argument here, no fallacies are involved.
