The Middle East Christian Winter

Christianity is under siege throughout the Islamic world as the media’s much-touted Arab Spring brings overt persecution of Christians along with increased hostility towards Israel.

John’s boralogue outlines the current situation for Christians in the Middle East. Then Dexter van Zile from CAMERA (www.camera.org) details the willingness of many Christian organizations to attack Israel, while at the same time remaining silent about the growing desperation of Christians in the region.

In hour two, John’s mini-boralogue focuses on the coming civil war in the United States, where states will be pitted against each other on the economic battlefield.

Finally the world food shortage is under way and it affects third world countries first and worst. Anne Goddard is president of Child Fund International (www.childfund.org) and she has just returned from the horn of Africa, where a serious famine is underway.

New DVD: Four Storms and a Silver Lining

John Loeffler speaking at the “Steeling the Mind of America” conference in Denver, CO. Sept. 2011, examines the four looming storms: sovereign debt, peak oil, global famine and global war and explains how Christians can cope with these trying times.

The DVD is $16.00 with free shipping.

Fallacy of the Week – “Fallacy” Fallacy

“Fallacy” Fallacy _ the argument that a statement is false simply because an argument for that position can be proven fallacious. (Argumentum ad Logicam)

Example:

“His economic theory seemed really promising, but the various studies supporting its validity turned out to have too many flaws, so the theory isn’t valid.”

This reasoning is fallacious because there may be another proof or argument that successfully supports the proposition. Since fallacious arguments can arrive at true conclusions, the validity of the conclusion doesn’t always render the initial premise true.

This fallacy is often combined with a “Straw Man” fallacy to counter an argument where burden of proof is not easily obtained. More information or better perspective will bring resolution to this kind of fallacy.
