loaded question fallacy

How does the music you listen to help you become a better Christian? If you're going to be friends with gay people why not be friends with serial killers, rapists, and liars too? I need help when debating with close minded people asking questions like these.

Reason: Books I & II

This book is based on the first five years of The Dr. Bo Show, where Bo takes a critical thinking-, reason-, and science-based approach to issues that matter with the goal of educating and entertaining. Every chapter in the book explores a different aspect of reason by using a real-world issue or example.

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

How does the music you listen to help you become a better Christian?



Simple answer: Who says it does?
More abrasive answer: If being a "better Christian" means being a bigger ass*ole when it comes to how we treat gays, then I just focus on being a better human being instead, thank you.

If you're going to be friends with gay people why not be friends with serial killers, rapists, and liars too?



The statement is so ridiculous that it really does not deserve a rational response. Sometimes, using twisted logic makes this point:

"So have you ever told a lie? Yes? Then you must be gay." This makes as much sense as suggesting that someone must be friends with a serial killer since they are friends with a gay person.
