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.

Eat Meat... Or Don't.

Roughly 95% of Americans don’t appear to have an ethical problem with animals being killed for food, yet all of us would have a serious problem with humans being killed for food. What does an animal lack that a human has that justifies killing the animal for food but not the human?

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.

In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

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.
