Spending several years as a people-pleasing youngster and having low self-esteem while, at the same time, being lauded as "being a good example" means A LOT of inner work to be done as an adult in figuring out who tf you really are. It means learning the difference between others' expectations of you and the ones you have for yourself. All this while, they seemed like one and the same.

It means setting boundaries and defending them fiercely.

This is what a lot of people don't realize. A lot of committed believers think that once someone leaves a religion, they're in this insulated secular bubble. That could not be further from the truth. If you are an atheist in a very religious family, it is often not smooth sailing. Subtle to overt digs at your lack of faith can be commonplace, which further makes one feel isolated. The same type of thing can come from religious ppl who were once your friends or...

Welcome to #FallacyFridays! On Fridays, we learn about logical fallacies in hopes of having sound logic. Today’s fallacy is the appeal to false authority fallacy. Retweet to get your followers in on the knowledge and give them a chance to take the quiz at the end.🤓 If you were here last week, you know that last week’s fallacy was the appeal to authority fallacy. We learned how an authority’s say-so is not enough reason to claim that what they are saying is true.

Welcome to #FallacyFridays! On Fridays, we learn about logical fallacies in order to have better arguments and have sound logic. Today's logical fallacy is the red herring fallacy, a tricky one to catch if one isn't aware of it. Retweet to let your followers in on the knowledge. The story goes that when herring, a type of fish, is cured with brine, it turns into a reddish color and has a pungent smell. At times, this cured herring is used to create false trails to train hunting hounds. This is thought to be a possible origin of the “red herring fallacy.”

Welcome to #FallacyFridays, the day we explore logical fallacies in hopes of making better arguments & having sound logic. Today's logical fallacy is the fallacy of relative privation. And it's incredibly popular. Please retweet to let your followers in on this.

[THREAD] If you are privy to the Nigerian side of social media, you've likely seen the relative privation fallacy used within the past couple weeks. In fact, if there's a sociopolitical issue talked about, I can almost guarantee that someone will use it.

Welcome to #FallacyFridays! Every Friday, I share a logical fallacy, why it's convincing to many of us, some examples, and a chance for you to correctly identify it.

Peep today's fallacy below. And don't hesitate to retweet this thread to let your followers in on the fun! 😁 It's important to note that there is a difference between "this begs the question" as it is used in everyday language (meaning it raises a question or point yet to be discussed) and "begging the question," the logical fallacy.

Today's logical fallacy is "appeal to nature."

1/ The "appeal to nature" fallacy basically states that if something is "natural," it is good. If it is "unnatural," it is bad. This is often compelling to us because many of us, knowingly or unknowingly, attribute goodness to what appears "natural."

This statement holds ZERO water until he can provide statistical evidence that confirms this is true. Otherwise, it is hot air that allows those inclined to kiki over baseless claims that tickles their bias. Also, anecdotes (i.e. "I know so-and-so did") is not evidence. [THREAD] Also, check out the below tweet in which the account owner says "This study also shows atheists pray." With that claim, you'd think it would lead to a study that shows a substantial number of atheists praying (link: psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/pray…)
