People has a lot of fallacies and one thing I noticed for months now, that simple proverbs be it from religion or simply from the rest of the literature is actually based on fallacies and the more a culture is heavily based on proverbs, the more fallacy it accumulates.

An example, I saw that proverb about a turtle that came up on top of a tree and it sits there undisturbed by predators. While a rabbit stays at the base of the tree on the ground and it gets eaten. Then suddenly that FB post concludes, that the lesson or moral of the story is sit on top as manager and you don't suffer the consequence while remain below as a worker and you end up facing consequences. I mean what an idiot way to make a moral story 😆

That is called a fallacy of analogy and it does occur but the most I've seen in high frequencies is the fallacy of the strawman argument, the fallacy of over generalization, the fallacy of false dichotomy. It's just interesting that lately the frequency on the fallacy of analogy is on the rise.

Now there is another false analogy I've seen, this is about the death of a human and the cutting of flowers. The false analogy was made between good people dying early and good flowers being cut to be taken. Again this is a false analogy.

I think most of the time people want meaning and so they make their own realities that will fit what narrative they want.

So this comes with the idea of a religion but there are people who subscribes to beliefs and they downplay religion and say things like religion is false, but faith is true. But if religion is false, then it must follow that faith (in the context of believing a deity) is also false.

For people trying to glorify aspects of Islam if not the whole religion but claims religion is false is also claiming that Islam is false.

This is why logic is very important. It is not enough to study logic in short phrases getting familiar with propositions and conclusions. One needs to study logic in depth, its structure, it's behavior, application, and proofs establishing sound logic, counterproofs, and fallacies. Without this, one becomes blind in the search for truth.
