Allegations of harm: Unsupportive of homosexaulity causes suicide

Image
Throughout the fake gay marriage debate - one technique was constantly used by supporters of homosexual marriage - If you call homosexuality a sin, wrong you will cause harm to teenagers who will then suicide. The purpose of this argument is to shut down any and all opposition to the idea that homosexuality is good for society. People were abused, posters torn-down by those who pushed gay marriage. No debate No questions No arguments and if you do open your mouth you are a bigot.  There are many ways arguments can go wrong . Since the dawn of philosophy, scholars have fashioned lists of fallacies, probed suspect rhetorical devices, and teased out the troubling ways power interweaves with persuasion.

After 13 years of rancor over conflicting views on homosexuality, the archbishops of the Anglican Communion have voted to impose sanctions for three years on the Episcopal Church , the American branch of the Communion, for its decision last summer to allow clergy to perform   same-sex marriages , church officials said. News of the archbishops’ decision to discipline the American church leaked out near the end of a weeklong meeting in England called by the Most Rev. Justin Welby , the archbishop of Canterbury . He had summoned the archbishops to Canterbury in an effort to break the bitter impasse that has divided the Anglican Communion since the Episcopal Church consecrated an   openly gay bishop   in New Hampshire in 2003. The sanctions — essentially limiting participation in Anglican Communion affairs — do not call for any change in policy by the American church. Conservative Anglican archbishops said that while they were pleased by the sanctions, the move ...
