This just struck me as I splish-splashing around in the tub today:
There's a rather large and extensive list of "logical" fallacies listed on many websites across the web, but nobody seems to have yet put together a list of MORAL fallacies.
The scenario that came to mind is one of those Bollywoodesque fallacies we have all seen in movies, shows, books, magazines, etc., where this can be asked:
"Why would any woman want a man she can lure away from his present wife, given that such is a MORAL FALLACY?"
After all, if she wins over the kind of man who would leave his wife for her, then what's to keep him from leaving her for yet another woman who lures him away yet again?
The flaws in such a man's character (including the woman who lured him away) are morally flawed, and therefore his harboring moral fallacies given that his foundations for morality are self-defeating, and therefore immoral.
Some might say that what the Bible considers to be immoral are all moral fallacies...
Yes, I agree, but I can't find any list formally defined anywhere on the web...other than reading the Bible.
What ya think? Should we all work together to formulate a formal list of MORAL FALLACIES?
