Ah, OK. So it focuses on the semantics angle.
The most common one I see in that category is "faith"; trying to equate religious faith with reasonable, evidence-based confidence.
Thanks for that, I was thinking it also covered faulty analogies, which I see incredibly frequently. That's what I was mainly referring to, although it appears they may not technically come under this heading. Things like "Just like a parent, God has to punish his children when they misbehave [by torturing them forever with no hope of redemption]."
Would you still like me to do a vid on the semantics angle, or the analogy one? Or both?
