      Hi Chris,

      Regarding fallacies, I can point out an easy one:

      “If you died today, where would you go… heaven or hell?”

      False Dichotomy fallacy.

      I’ll let Jim list the rest.

      Okay, I couldn’t help myself; one more fallacy:

      When the person reading the “Good Person Test” script says that “Jesus says that lust in your heart is the same as adultery” and “Jesus says that hatred in your heart is the same as murder”, those are both Argument From Authority fallacies; instead of giving a reasoned argument as to why “lust in your heart” is the same as adultery, the mark is simply told that an authority figure says this.

      And that even assumes that the mark sees Jesus as an authority. To me, it would be similar to a Muslim saying, “Mohammed says that blah blah blah.”
