Red Herring
Front
What is a 'Red Herring'?
Back
Introducing an irrelevant topic to divert attention from the original issue. Example: 'Why focus on the resurrection when the Crusades were so violent?'
Explanation
While the Crusades are a valid historical topic, they do not disprove the historical claim that Jesus rose from the dead.
