Christian says hugging is a sinId 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 :) |

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

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.

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. :) |

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.

Underneath 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?
