“While Dr. Carson’s voice still predominates in the third edition, I have updated Exegetical Fallacies in three ways…. 1. I have removed some less relevant examples and added new ones, including some new fallacies. This third edition is about 30% longer than the second edition.” - Andy Naselli

The thinking in Why fire trucks are red reminds me of situations I call “piling on reasons.”

Christians with rules often pile on lots of reasons for their convictions. So we get sermons like 6 Reasons Christians Should Not Drink Alcohol and Ten Reasons You Should Homeschool Your Kids.

Usually all but one or two of those reasons make as much sense as the red fire truck.
