Critical Language

Logic is synonymous with reason, judgment, sense, wisdom, and sanity.

But when the Word of God is reduced to clichés or stripped of its historical and theological richness, it loses its ...

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity.

Nevertheless, no matter how you spin it, critical thinking is an important thing to learn more about.
