Supreme Court Justice Scalia dies during hunting trip in Marfa
What is of interest to me is that simply because a man does not hold that a particular method of interpreting the Constitution is the be-all-end-all method...suddenly, he can't be a Christian, is a child of the father of lies, is fixated on homosexuality, etc. How is this not simply the oldest form of logical fallacy around? Abusive ad hominem, argument to the person instead of to the issue? This vitriol in defense of one's way of viewing the world burns people at the stake "for the glory of God," drowns women in Salem "for the glory of God," burns down black churches "for the glory of God." Not saying my adversaries on this site would support or do any of those things, but we do have to carefully mind what manner of spirit we are of.
