Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a debater in high school, I've come to love the topic of bad arguments and logical falicies. One guiding principle I've found is that all viewpoints can be argued badly, weather it be politics or religion. And one of the best part is to look at all viewpoints and see where the bad argument might lie. Therefore, for a book that claims to be based on logic, it should stand to reason that it would test all worldviews fairly. It's very disappointing then, to find that this book seems to go out of it's way to target religion, specifically worldviews that might be held by Evangelical Christians. While most worldviews in this book are targeted only once, (one per argument), the idea of religion, especially Christianity, is targeted five times, (in Argument for Consequences, Straw Man, Equivocation, Guilt by Association, and Circular Reasoning.) It goes so far out of it's way to target religion that it starts to break the rules of logic set forward in it's previous pages, for instance committing the fallacy of Personal Incredulity while trying to say believers use the fallacy of Circular Reasoning. I'm not saying religious people can commit facilities, but people of a more secular nature can commit them to; and it benefits everyone intellectually when looking for bad arguments anywhere. This book could have fixed this problem by including one argument against a more secular worldview to balance it out, but the silence is deafening. There is some talent in this book, the illustrations are great and very cute, it's just a shame they have to support a very biased and ideological book that claims to be objective. If you are a person who has a very secular worldview then you'll like this book. For anyone else who is religious in nature, or just wanting to give religious arguments the same fairness in examination as more secular ones, then you should take your money elsewhere.
