Nmcdonel for the blog Scribble preach talk about the fallacies he heard the most on the past few years. He claims there are a lot more to this list but these were the last 15 he heard. He starts off with the fallacy that people often attack the others argument rather than opinion, then he appeals to religious fallacies, such as Christians saying non-Christians said something that they never really did, false analogies, argument that the extreme of a position must be also true, argue God is the cause of a confusion, arguments from human authorities are right, correlation always equals what really happened, assuming we are unbiased audience, extremity morals, and so on.
The logical fallacy i have heard about is the personal statement of something cannot be true to them. I once heard a friend saying"I cannot sympathize with a God because to me it cannot be true". He was logically assuming that an opinion was false because in his limited mindset he could not imagine a world with a God and life with a purpose. Truth is universal, by not having enough information to prove that there was no God i could not tell him it was true, because that would have been a logical fallacy, but the fact that personally he could not believe because of his own opinion, is a fallacy.
