我是基督徒啊 ：給您科普1個邏輯錯誤

基督徒們傳教常用的手段，就是宣傳“世界上有那麽多人信基督教，好多歐美上流國家呢，瞧人家繁榮昌盛富裕幸福，這就證明基督教是一番的；這麽好的東東，你為神馬不信呢?" 聽起來挺有道理，其實大謬也. 這裏麵呢，包含著一個明顯的邏輯錯誤，叫Argumentum ad Populum，用明白點的英文說呢，就是 Appeal to popularity 或 Appeal to majority， 中文的確切翻譯偶不太清楚，大概是叫“訴諸流行謬誤”8. 具體定義如下: A proposition is held to be true because it is widely held to be true or is held to be true by some (usually upper crust) sector of the population. http://www.datanation.com/fallacies/pop.htm 簡單點說呢，人都希望得到別人的認同和接受，也即所謂的從眾心理。同時呢，或多或少的，大家都會有一點崇拜名人的心理。 這種論證的手段呢，其實就是利用了人性的弱點來令聽者接受其結論。常見的應用，就是典型的廣告/傳教語言“所有XXXX的人都選擇XXXX，你也應當作出正確的選擇。” XXXX 可以隨便換成娃哈哈，腦白金，福壽膏或基督教，反正總有人上當就是了...同理呢，所謂“商品代言人” 和基督教拉“名人”作見證，也是同出一轍... 這個邏輯錯誤有時也叫 Appeal to Emotion, 就是引導人以感性認同來替代理性思考。您說的那神馬“open heart”, 從本質上可以歸為此類. 所以，不如下回您幹脆說...隻要不用腦子，任何人都可以接受基督教... ---------------- It is not A pattern 文章來源: 我是基督徒啊 於 2004-07-29 17:36:28 There is still lot of unreached people or they don't want open their heart to accept Gosple. They live just similar like what they did in China. We cannot say that they will not receive the Gosple forever. But it is not a pattern. In fact, what is meaning of "yang" religion by definition? Christianity is not from America, not from Europe. It is started from the Middle East. For Roman and Greek it is "yang" religion; for French and German it is "yang" religion; for English and American it is a "yang" religion; for African and Asian it is "yang" religion. For everybody except isralian it is a "yang" religion. Now, lot of counties are accept Chris in some degree. WHY NOT CHINESE?????
