Taboo Fallacy

The Taboo Fallacy occurs when certain subjects, standpoints, people, or concepts are off limits for thinking, then other options are assumed the default. Note that taboos are a fallacy when they are used to persuade by eliminating conflicting points of view with taboos. Otherwise, they are simply a tactic of message control. However, message control is usually for the purpose of promoting only one side of an issue. 

Examples of the Taboo Fallacy

“Don’t discuss your Christian beliefs around me. Now, back to the subject of the Big Bang.”

Law suits are brought if Creation science is taught in schools, yet the Big-Bang-Billions-of-Years-No-Flood-Molecules-to-Man story receives almost no resistance. By making Creation taboo and teaching a lie as if it were a fact, indoctrination takes place in public schools. There is no hard science behind the Big-Bang-Billions-of-Years-No-Flood-Molecules-to-Man story. It violates several known laws of science. Yet, it is promoted as being neutral. In most cases, it also promotes Atheism in the form of Naturalism.
