The question this should make people ask is: where are these beliefs coming from, if not from religious teaching? Often both sides of a controversial argument are content to blame God for the position of the religious side. It's easier to simply write off your opponent as an unreasonable religious nutcase rather than making a legitimate attempt to look for the real motivation. It's almost as easy to attack religious fallacies as it is to use them for support.
