The BOBA Digest: Dan Barker and the Confusing Author | True Freethinker

Image by Matti Á. via FlickrSome of my favorite posts from Mariano Grinbank is when he addresses the nonsense of Dan Barker. Mariano is addressing the following argument:

His latest talking point is to best expressed via a syllogism:

1) The Bible states that “God is not the author of confusion.”
2) The Bible has caused a lot of confusion.
3) Therefore, God is not the Bible’s author.

As much as on the surface this syllogism appears airtight; there are various fallacies packages within.

Mariano then goes through and systematically deconstructs Barker's argument. It is a thing of beauty. Follow the link to read Mariano's post.
