Re: How to discuss Mormonism with a Mormon. (great link)

Sorry to do this, but I wanted to add another great link.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Logical_fallacy

Here is a sample, it is priceless

Argumentum ex culo -- Making things up.
Bullshit -- deceit through obfuscation.
Ex equus pyga -- "From the horse's ass" is a variety of argument from authority. The horse's ass claims a particular status such as former military or government service to lend weight to their assertions or imperatives. It is a supremely ineffective strategy, resulting only in the inflation of the horse's ass's own chest. Anyone who has ever tried to cinch a saddle girth tight on an unwilling animal knows that the beast is not that hard to outsmart. All it takes is patience, since sooner or later he must exhale.
