Social Conformance Fallacy
The Social Conformance Fallacy occurs when fitting in and getting along requires irrational thinking.
Examples of the Social Conformance Fallacy
Tremendous pressure is brought against young people (and older people) to disobey the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit urges us to keep our language clean, speak of our experiences with Christ, walk in holiness, and spend time in the Scripture and in prayer. Social conformance pushes against all of these.
“Let’s go to a movie. Which one would you like to see?”
It had better be socially acceptable, even if it is downright evil.
There is tremendous social pressure brought against those who disagree with the Big-Bang-Billions-of-Years-No-Flood-Molecules-to-Man story on most college campuses. Arguments that are brought for the story are easily shown to be irrational. Yet most students do conform.
