I'm mainly doing this out of curiosity. Ideally it would be great if I could chance across a completely blatant logical fallacy or two that would give the believer a hard time solving without resorting to an incorrect exegesis. I don't know if such a fallacy exists however in the book. Judging by the effect exposing contradictions has had against Christians, showing a few fallacies probably won't have a big effect against them but for a small minority it might sway them a little farther away from the faith than otherwise.
