Fourteen minutes into the video and it's clear that you have understood basically nothing, whether about the arguments I've been making, or arguments from authority, or about biblical textual criticism.

Most definitely - your performance throughout this debate has revealed shallow thought and an inability to self-examine.

One shouldn't have to point out that disagreeing with someone is not the same as being rude.

Let the reader judge. I'm comfortable with that.

Where did I attack you? How was I rude? Let me guess - you'll avoid these questions like you've avoided the others I've posed.

It isn't surprising that you find such an ignorant and poorly reasoned work to be "awesome" and "thorough".

You're welcome! Any 'truth' that has been viewed through the lens of a totalitarian ideology (such as religious dogma) is in danger of being warped Imagine how much it can be warped when people come to

You're starting from the base that we live in God's universe so that atheists in that world are just in denial. Yes. That is because we are trying to reason and think rationally, and the only possible

I can't control that, but I would certainly exhort you that grownups generally get past "tone" to interact with ideas.

"Atheism results inescapably in nihilism" is not at all the same statement as "all atheists are nihilists" or even "more than zero atheists are nihilists". If you disagree

Zeitgeist is one of the stupidest and most embarrassing things that anyone has ever done. The fact that you find it compelling is a terribly sad commentary on your level of education and intelligence.

That book is a ludicrous and pathetic attempt by someone who made their money and prestige in one topic to cross over into territory with which he is totally unfamiliar and woefully unprepared, and it

I'd be very interested in hearing how atheism doesn't logically and inescapably result in nihilism. Please show me.

You're being dishonest. Let's say I agreed with you. So what? And I ask that sincerely - tell me why I or anyone else should care about being dishonest. My views and opinions are heavily supported by reality

Nobody was bowing down and rendering worshipful obeisance to Elisha's bones. It's a pretty desperate appeal.
