Is there anyone here who is good with Symbolic Logic? Here's a challenge..

28. There's a bit of begging the question, too.

Begging the question, not in the casual sense of the phrase's use, which I always phrase as "invites the question", but in the more formal logical argument sense, where it means assuming the conclusion in the premise.

The argument here is indeed a classic case of excluded middle, but it also touches on begging the question because the argument is set up such that it presents a choice, either Jesus was God or was bad, that no believer would choose the latter. That's begging the question.

I agree with Immoderate, the primary fallacy is "the excluded middle" "false dichotomy" in the premise which makes the entire argument fallacious.

Happy to respond to fun stuff like this.
