  False Compromise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Compromise may even be involved in the very structure of rational inquiry.

Therefore, we reject the false ideology that teaches that human beings have the capacity within themselves, by virtue of their humanity alone, and apart from redemption, to become the sons and daughters of God.

The notion that referral is an acceptable compromise may presume that moral culpability attaches only to direct participation in X, and not to facilitating the provision of X by someone else.

 Middle Ground Fallacies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
