Logical fallacies in the Bible?

[Angrboda]

I understand your interest, TEGH, but am unsure of your first premise, that finding fallacies in the bible has some utility, especially seeing the lack of utility in bible contradictions. There's always a way to recast things in order to reconcile them with a standard, a set of assumptions or a theory (this is an epistemological problem known as epistemological holism). And fallacies aren't any more immune to this simply because they are fallacies. I think of pad's example, and the thing which leaps to mind is some recent examples from social psychologist Jonathan Haidt in which human attitudes towards trust and betrayal don't follow the bare bones of human interaction laid out by game theory, such as the tit for tat strategy. So one could always argue that while some moral like "he who is without sin" doesn't embody a logical truth, it may embody a biological, social psychological truth that isn't apparent. Regardless of the persuasiveness of this example, the point is that there will always be one or more ways to rectify any problem a text possesses, at least apparently (and logically speaking, the ways are near infinite). (For another example Jewish legal tradition has a whole set of rationales for why David causing the death of Uriah was just; all it takes is imagination and practically, if not persuasively speaking, you can always make a sow's ear "look" like a silk purse.) So again, what do you hope to accomplish by identifying logical fallacies, and is your expectation realistic?
