Marginalization

You are here: Meaning > Christian Witness > Encyclopedia of Logical Fallacies > Faulty Conclusions > Ungodly Counsel > Message Control > Marginalization

Marginalization is the act of trying to make the opposing viewpoint appear as if no one would even consider such a viewpoint.

  • Label as out of the mainstream
  • State that only those on the fringes hold this position
  • Label as extreme

Examples:

  • Attacks against the Gospel through the centuries
  • Attacks by evolutionists against those who don't believe them
  • Attacks by global warming advocates
  • Attacks by liberal denominations, and the fact that they call themselves, "mainline."
