Refraction (Bent Thinking) # 84

Wrong Direction – cause and effect are reversed. The cause is said to be the effect and vice versa. Refutation: To claim a cause and effect relationship between past events, you need hard evidence, not rhetoric. Example: Removing the 10 Commandments from the walls in schools has resulted in moral decay in the country. Side Note: It could also be argued that moral decay in the country has resulted in people wanting to take the 10 Commandments off the walls in schools.
