This book is published by Promethus - possibly the leading publisher in atheistic literature. If you like reading stuff by atheists the chances of having a prometheus book in your home is 99%!

Anyway, Art of Deception can be found in any major bookstore. It is made by atheists for atheists and it encourages dishonest discourse, discussion, and debate. Here are some appalling quotes from the book that speaks for itself:

Never admit defeat... Refuse to be convinced. Even if you feel that he has a good argument and that your case is weaker, refuse to be convinced of your opponent’s case... There is one thing you should always claim no matter what the opposition has said, namely, that the opposition has misstated your case. No matter what the opposition has said, you should make this claim. (p. 131-132)

Appeal to Ignorance... act as if you are absolutely right. Keep harping upon the fact that some of the things you said, even if they are trivial, are right and that the opposition cannot disprove your case. (p.133)

Quoting Out of Context. Like any other charge, this one should be denied and continually denied. Keep insisting that the words you quoted are exactly as you said they were, that is, you ignore the charge that you quoted out of context and pretend that you were charged with misquoting. (p.138)

Inconsistency. If you are accused of being inconsistent, deny it! Deny it! ...there may be times when inconsistency is not a bad thing. After all, is not a foolish consistency the hobgoblin of little minds? All right, then, I am inconsistent. So what of it? (p.139)

Red Herring.... what happens if you feel that your defense has not been strong enough or that there are lingering doubts in the minds of the audience? At this point you should avoid sticking to the point... draw attention to a side issue where you feel particularly strong. This will give the impression that you are still in charge of the course of the discussion. (p.140)

Ad hominem. Instead of attacking the specific points of an argument, you attack the man... You tell your audience how someone falls into the trap of believing such nonsense. (p. 148)

True by definition. You can always save your position by making it true by definition. (p.151)

This shouldn't come as a surprise. Many atheists have been following these fallacious tactics forever!

Art of Deception even takes its stab at Christian theism and states that some believe that God exists just because the Bible says so (p.114). It’s no wonder many atheists use deceptions so eloquently stated in this book, because even when they know they are wrong, they tell their audience that they are right! Deception at last!
