Right and WrongI was arguing with a religious person on religious texts being invalid or wrong. He said that religious texts could include both right and wrong so it is wise for us to remove the wrong and accept the right and also he added that there are such malpractices which religious books promote which might be right to do such practices at the time the certain religious book was written. So I replied him that rape and wife beating and other practices had been promoted by religious texts cannot be justified as good whether it is for past or present situation. But he kept applying his ad nauseam trick that whatever had been written in religious texts are good for the past situation and which we cannot know. So I want to know which fallacy had he committed by stating that wrong statements made by religious books were good ?

This can be seen as the Missing Data Fallacy : Refusing to admit ignorance to the hypothesis and/or the conclusion, but insisting that your ignorance has to do with missing data that validate both the hypothesis and conclusion. |
