It may be the lesser evil. So long as you aren't being blatantly dishonest. Actually now that I think about it, appeals to emotion for example are only fallacious if used as an argument for the truth. You could word an appeal to emotion to be more an argument to persuade people to reevaluate their values and beliefs. Hitchens was good at that.
It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all. - Denis Diderot
