I wrote a short book for college students: The College Success Rulebook: Practical Advice for College and Beyond.
It’s free and openly licensed for instructors to use and share:

For what it's worth, it's something of a pro-choice myth that most anti-abortion advocates appeal to religious arguments. They don't, and pro-choice people understanding this might help.

Some questions:
if someone lies to you, are trying to mislead you? If you believed a lie from someone, were you misled?
(I'm trying to understand how people understand how lying and misleading relate. You can be mislead in ways other than being lied to, of course). #lying
100%Yes.

No, you should take a philosophy class and learn about these topics.
(However, what "moral experience" and "transcendent order" might be here is unclear; those aren't standard topics nearby).

Here's a joke that would be better made by someone else, but I will have to do:
"Liberals": "This candidate is flawed and so I won't vote for them."
"Conservatives": "This candidate is flawed and so I will vote for them."
Might not be a new joke either. New to me though.

It is ridiculous that someone who should know better would make these mere assertions and provide no reason at all for what he bolldy asserts.
Also, nothing Sebo said depends on utilitarianism. That is poor reading comprehension.
I started making these #logic and #criticalthinking "cards." Maybe they can be useful here, given the many absurd things that people say.
