For over fifteen years, I’ve been a prolific contributor to online theological and church-related discussions and debates. However, the robust nature of such debates is not for the faint-hearted.

For example, there is little room for the widespread modern tendency for reducing disputes to nothing more than a difference of opinion; especially when that tendency results in the well-known "peace at any price" mantra: “Let’s agree to disagree!”

Instead, when logical fallacies are committed, there is a good chance that someone will challenge them.
