We brought each quote near the decepto-meter for a reading to determine the type of deception and how bad it was. Here are the four categories of misquotes as determined by the decepto-meter! Satanic Quote: So utterly deceptive, not even the devil could do better. Deceptive Quote: Very deceptive use of selective quoting to make the reader conclude something opposite to what the author of the quote is actually saying. False Dilemmas: A false dilemma is where you force someone into a wrong conclusion with only two choices without telling them there is a third option to consider. A typical example of a false dilemma is where anti-Trinitarians lead the reader to falsely conclude that if Jesus is subordinate to the Father, that Jesus must be a creature. Self-quoting: Quoting fellow anti-Trinitarians to trash the trinity, is no better than a Catholic quoting a priest to prove that Peter is the first pope!
