  • @BattleshipAgincount YOUR MIND IS ROTTING...GO DIE.

  • @BattleshipAgincount / Lizardleaps

    You're seriously a psychopath. If you're so convinced that heaven exists, why don't you kill yourself now and get it over with?

    I don't care where you go, just leave this place.

  • I've been patiently sifting for a voice of sanity and reason post-Hitchens. This man not only seems to fill that need but his rational and polished presentation of solid statement; his clear debate mastery-leaves me with a new Hero.

    Poster: TY for uploading this -- and of course thanks to The Doctor. ;-)

    To All: You will never out-'crazy' a crazy. Period.. Yes, they're wrong, but don't sweat it: just feel sad for them that they don't have the openness and intellect needed to understand.

  • @jrishaw You may be right, but "they" still impose their evil beliefs on others, and permeate every part of our lives with their stupid unintelligent actions (in politics, legislature, in schools/institutions, in communities etc.). Thank reality for people like Sam.

  • No comment with 70 thumbs up, on how brillian Sam Harris?! Well, here it is.

    Sam Harris is totally brilliant, and is surely one of the most important people alive.

  • 'This commendably noble comment you've made should probably be directed to BattleshipAgincount...'

    Says the lying cunt who created a new account for the sole purpose of pretending to be someone else and misrepresenting everything he said. I can proudly say that most of your comments are flagged as spam anyway... so don't blame me for your trolling.

    You have no idea just how much you're despised by both sides as a result of your dishonorable and dishonest tactics. You are alone in this.

  • @Blabbs

    Says the..."Blabbs

    So sorry, this is just your delusional denial and fallacious attribution rearing it's not so calmly head again, Blabbs.

    Despite the fact that I never lied about creating a new account, and did created it order to expose you for the liar, hypocrite, sore loser, troll etc. that you are, what if I hadn't created a new account"

    Would that justify you flagging all my comments and denying it until you couldn't because I had conclusive evidence proving you a liar? 'Lol!

  • @Blabbs

    "I can proudly say..."I'm a liar

    Oops!, you've unwittingly upped and done it again, Blabbs.

    Observe: You've proven yourself a liar again for having originally said that you didn't want my comments flagged, because according to your lying blabbermouth, my comments only help your cause, but now you "proudly" proclaim that other coward, hypocritical, trolls, like you are doing it anyway. 'Lol!

    Are you even capable of blabbering anything that isn't a decietful, bumbling, provable lie? :)

  • @Blabbs

    You have no idea just how much... "I lie."You are alone in this"

    Oh!, so sorry Mr. lonely, but you blabbered this same nonsense in absolute factual terms, even before I had exposed you for your irrefutable lies.

    Now you've only proven yourself in delusional defensive denial of your guilt for your indisputable convictions and projecting/deflecting onto me, your irrational fantasies of me being "dishonest-dishonorable", when in reality and fact you actually are.

    Your...

  • @Blabbs

    (Continued....

    your...credibility is shot Blabbs, and there's justifiable reason/s to believe that whatever you say would just be more blabbering deceitfulness and lies.

    Now please allow me to break this to you as gently as I possibly feel like and was going to anyway.

    To put it in layman's terms, you Blabbs, are one very sic Pup.

    Hope you seek he, errr...Hope this helps! :)

  • @Lizard

    According to you... and ONLY you.

  • @Blabbs

    P.S. Was that sufficiently "flattering" to your satisfaction or should I "flatter" you some more? 'Lol!

    Face it Blabbulous dearest, you just can't win for losing.

    Hope this helps! :)

  • @Lizard

    'Your...credibility is shot Blabbs...'

    If my credibility was shot, why then did you create a new user name on my behalf? After thinking about it, I actually have to admit I'm flattered at what you did. It means I have a reputation worth tarnishing... which is much more than I can say for yours.

    Given as you've failed to address any of my points, you resorted to the most dishonest tactic here on youtube. You've failed. Get over it.

  • @Blabbs

    "If my credibility was shot, why then did you create a new user name on my behalf? After thinking about it, I actually have to admit I'm flattered at what you did"

    Well, since you now claim to be "flattered" by me changing usernames, "flatter" this! 'Lol!

    No Blabbs, you conveniently Failed! to get the memo again. Your credibility was irrefutably shot after I created a new user account and baited you into admitting that you're a liar, which proved you a hypocrite as well, thus Fail! :)

  • What happened to my comment? What happened to the reply LizardLeaps made to it?

    Whats the point of spending time here if it does not lead to an honest discussion?

  • Comment removed

  • Sam really nailed it on this one

  • Please do not report comments on this video as spam. It's censorship and improper. If you see a comment that's flagged as spam please un-flag it. Censorship has no place here.

  • @Sardonac

    This commendably noble comment you've made should probably be directed to BattleshipAgincourt....not that it would necessarily do any good, because he's proven himself many times over to be an obstinate, incorrigible, logically challenged, sore loser, bald faced liar and hypocrite, etc.

    He initially denied flagging my comments as spam,...

    Continued...

  • @Sardonac

    (Cont'd

    ...but when I presented to him the evidence in his own words, encouraging others to flag my comments, he couldn't deny it.

    Then he admitted it and stated; "I flag ALL your comments as spam"

    Then he tried to justify his proven lie by interjecting the two wrongs make a right fallacy, claiming that he had lied because I lie.

    Sadly, he doesn't distinguish the difference between peoples views and opinions, and arguments which refute his illogical/irrational position, from lying. :)

  • @LizardLeaps I've been putting up with that guy all week. Your story doesn't surprise me.

  • @Sardonac

    I agree that flagging comments is disruptive. However what's even more disruptive is when one or two individuals (or one guy pretending to be two individuals) escalates this to insults and stops debating altogether.

    Some people DO genuinely spam these comments, and I don't discourage posts from being flagged for what they are. Reading personal insults amounts to a waste of time. I've since stopped flagging his spam, simply because I want people to see Lizard's lies for what they are.

  • @BattleshipAgincourt If you see his name then don't read his comments. It's that simple. The flagging feature exists to remove comments that are actual spam, not merely disagreeable sentiments. If you'd like to carry on an extended dialogue with a YouTube user do it through personal messaging.

  • @Sardonac

    "If you see his name then don't read his comments. It's that simple. The flagging feature exists to remove comments that are actual spam, not merely disagreeable sentiments"

    Right, thus Pass! A+ :)

  • This is getting quite tiresome.

    The burden of proof IS on Craig here. He's the one making the positive statement. He's the one saying the universe was created from nothing by magic. That IS a faith-based claim, and it's what creationists have to believe.

    Atheists don't claim the universe was self-propogated! Most atheists don't make the positive statement that a god doesn't exist! These may be faith-based claims, but they're NOT what atheists believe. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying.

  • @BattleshipAgincourt Atheists DO say that nothing came from something. If an atheist is really a champion of science, then they would understand the first 3 laws of thermodynamics, the theory behind the big bang, the implications of the primordial vacuum and the idea of a "beginning in time." If an atheist understands all of these things but still denies an original creator, then they are only trying to AVOID God, not disprove him.

  • @steffencollen

    'Atheists DO say that nothing came from something.'

    No, they do not! This is the part where you deliberately misrepresent what your opponents believe for the sole purpose of shooting it down... it's called a straw man argument.

    Being an atheist isn't contingent on believing in evolution or the big bang. The ONLY thing it's contingent on is not believing in a god. That's all it is!

    Theist have failed to meet their burden of proof, therefore I don't believe in anyone's god.

  • @steffencollen

    'If an atheist is really a champion of science...'

    And what answers can you possibly provided that are any better than simply making one up without ANY evidence to speak of? To all those questions you presented, I will simply shrug my shoulders and say I don't know.

    '...If an atheist understands all of these things but still denies an original creator...'

    I'm still waiting on you just to prove your god actually exists. You're making an argument from ignorance.

  • @sillygames 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, the big bang, the anthropic principle, and some simple ontology. That right there is enough evidence for a 5000 page essay that would conclude that religion is 1) reasonable and 2) more plausible than its denial.

  • @richardaberdeen

    Think about why you deny witches. Not because you can prove witches cannot possibly exist but because you see nothing to support their existence. Theists claim they know and are in communication with a super man who created the universe by magic. Atheists find God just as likely as any other supernatural entity for which there is no evidence. Atheism is a judgement that follows from the recognition that there is no valid reason or credible evidence for any of the religions.

  • @AD6043 Many people claim to believe in God because they have an awareness of God working in their lives. So do I--that is why I believe in God. You have the same problem all atheists have, you pretend that you can deny the experience of somebody else, which no human being can do. All any human can do is speak from their own experience--you have no way of knowing if someone else has awareness of God or not. Anybody can have awareness of God if they check out the forgiveness of Jesus.

  • @richardaberdeen

    True, I cannot say for sure that your experience of God is psychotic and I don't. I say you cannot expect your experience to have any effect on how others make up their mind. Especially when your experience tells others what they should do with their life. You of course may organize your own life around them.

    Atheism does not replace religion with another world view. It says religion is no more credible than any other supernatural stuff with no evidence to back it up

  • @AD6043 That's right, you can't speak for anyone else's experience. Thus, when atheists pretend people are foolish or childish for claiming awareness of God, they have no way of knowing this and thus, they are obviously lying. Just as atheists have no way of remotely knowing there is no Creator and thus, they are obviously just lying. To say there is no God or might be no God without a better explanation for what can be observed, is an obvious grade-school lie no rational person would embrace

  • @richardaberdeen dude, I'm a Christian, but you need to be careful. The things you have said are the reason why atheists think Christians are so ignorant. You can't ram Jesus down atheists throats. If you are trying to persuade people to believe that God exists, I would recommend you do some research in cosmological, ontological, moral and teleological philosophy so that you can have a more secular discussion with these people. You should also look into some physics.

  • @steffencollen I'm not addressing atheists. When atheists promote lies, I point out how obvious they are for people who are not well educated who aren't atheists. Atheism is obviously a lie and is easily debunked as a lie. At the bottom line, atheism embraces magic and gross superstition--athesits have no explanation for how the universe exists, they just pretend nobody created it, similar to pretending the moon is larger and warmer than the sun or pretending the sun will rise in in the west.

  • @AD6043 Atheism doesn't DIRECTLY replace religion with another world view, but it seems like it indirectly does. All of the atheists I have ever known have replaced religion with either 1) drugs 2) arbitrary moral values 3) faith in scientific discoveries 4) a hatred of religion.

  • So it's "Dr." (quotes added) Craig because a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Birmingham (which boasts eight Nobel Prize Laureates) and another post-graduate degree (ThD) from the University of Munich (thirty-four Nobel Laureates) doesn't really "count" as being a Dr...And where is Dr. (no quotes needed) Craig's rebuttal?

  • @IoannisThree16

    Craig didn't make a rebuttal... he merely followed the same script he'd been using for the last 20-30 years. As far as I can tell, he doesn't even addresses the arguments of his opponents anymore.

    In these debates, Craig stops being a Dr. and instead promotes a completely faith-based argument.

  • @IoannisThree16

    Notice how BattleshipAgincourt, (affectionately referred to as 'Blabbs') conveniently Failed! to acknowledge your initial premise of the ("quotes added") ploy to deceitfully discredit/misrepresent Dr. Craig's credentials.

    Blabbs’s claim of Craig not having a rebuttal is a lie and his, ("as far as I can tell") is an intentional ignoramus assertion, thus lie as well.

    Craig exposed Harris for his red herring diversions, failed exegesis, failure to address the issues,...

    Take care and God bless! :)

  • @LizardLeaps craig talks shite, he has got the gift of the gab but never give any actual answers of substance or proof

  • @twilight8181

    Your point is moot. It not Craig's responsibility to offer anything of "substance", as that's the obligation of those who believe that no God exists, and that the reality of existence is the result of self-propagated, non-purposed, wishful naturalistic processes to the preclusion of God, and to render theirs as anything more than a fantasy blind FAITH.

    As to proof, Craig's arguments are logically iron clad and to those operating in logical soundness would recognize Craig's proofs.

  • @LizardLeaps i think you'll find obligation of proof is with you the theist as you claim to know the when and how the world and man was made .and as for wishful thinking and blind faith thats all on you as well

  • Christians can be universalists or inclusivists about hell

    Christians needn't believe in biblical inherency, so commands in the bible needn't be divine commands

    Christians can believe God is good because goodness is a greatness making property and God is the greatest conceivable being, rather than because of good experiences they attribute to God

    It's plausible that God has morally sufficient reasons for allowing the suffering in the world since God is good.

  • @TomFynn Don't worry. See, in this reality, there is something practical in not basing your life on a belief that is contingent with derp. In the same reason it's quite damaging that our justice system applies the same notions of retributions into it's courts through blind acceptance of "free-will". One could take a pragmatic position, but that'd be too much for a Lizard which Leaps. It's odd how a can of soda seems to be of much higher use. Metaphorically, and realistically.

  • @LizardLeaps God's powers are at work, because apparently AncestorOfExstictDino is not synonymous with LizardLeaps, which I could have sworn was a reference to the harrowing story of evolutionary proportions.

  • @LizardLeaps ROFLLMAO! DID YHUU C WUT I DUN?! Yes, It was quite spectacle. Over the course of the harsh beating I took from obfuscated conversation and misinterpretation, I realized: "Worms hate onion, garlic, pumpkin seed & cranberry. They will also not inhabit a clean, strong colon as there is no soft and tasty mucus to make them feel at home." - This is of great importance, and I don't think you are taking the situation as seriously as one might find moral permissible.

    If my suspensions are correct, I will notify the warden at Corcoran state prison that Charlie Manson has somehow accessed a computer and is blabbering full blown barmy bonkers from his 8 x10. 'Lol!

  • @AncestorOfExstictDino

    TomFynn never stated any of his views on anything, and from analysis of the other comments you've sent, it seems that my accusations in ending the conversation were sought correctly.

    This naturalistic process, whatever you so are referring to, would be the subject of science. Contrary to your thoughts, one can practice the epistemology that leads scientific thought without actually presuming that any theory is true, more so than the best explanation pragmatically.

  • @ACANOFSODA

    What are you even blabbering about now and again Carbonation Clown?

    Tom foolery clearly stated that faith is delusion. He claims in absolute factual terms that "faith is delusion"

    Therefore, If all faiths are false and no God/s exists, then the origination of the cosmos and viable life must have been the result of naturalistic process/es

    He has no alternative but to believe that everything propagated itself, by itself, for nothing.

    There in lies TomFoolery's FAITH "delusion" :)

  • @ACANOFSODA

    This naturalistic process,... "and more irrelevant blabber.

    Nonsense Carbonation Clown. When one claims that "faith is delusion", any reasonable, rational person could only deduce from this statement that the one making the claim believes that all faiths in God/s as false and delusional.

    I could give a fist full of flying pterodactyls what one doesn't have to presume, when one makes such assertions in absolve factual terms, it proves what they actually do believe, thus Fail! :)

  • @LizardLeaps I replied to a particular proposition. Do not tell me what I did, or did not, reply to in my initial response when I stated directly what I did.

  • @LizardLeaps Obviously your ego's up your ass to try.. Get that, the keyword is "TRY" to sound a bit more intellectual by trying to push other people's words down and use sarcastic remarks. You're not a debater, you're a troll. :)

  • @LizardLeaps There is nothing to state that faith is something devoid of criticism regardless of the very notions that separate it from evidence. Atheism, in my general case, is the neutral position one would take towards any potential belief in any existence. It's also a more pragmatic view considering I haven't had "faith", thus my position itself is intelligent given that. Though highly bias, I've also never seen faith not associated with preference, in the same way a normative may act.

  • @LizardLeaps I'm done. This is not a debate. I've been attacked since response one on things I've never stated, claims made of me through misrepresentation of my quotes, and to be honest - The attitude one can sense in your text is quite irritating. Like, really? "Now Go?! or just Go! :)" - Really? Honestly? Is this how somebody whom truly is desiring to argue about particular cases would want to act? Would this be acceptable in the above debate video? It wasn't at my school.

  • @LizardLeaps Once again, I said I am not diverting. I shall repeat this, as I even stated going "off-topic" to address these issues which I feel inhibit our ability to communicate will not effect the main point. I have directly stated this. You also did not use "..." and misrepresented the context of the sentence. I do no appreciate that. These are not becoming relevant issues.

  • @LizardLeaps I can see speaking with you will be difficult. Humans are the only species that demonstrate that, though the defining characteristic of the species is not that. Human demonstrating it does not make it intrinsic, which I believe was my question. You would, in this case, be playing word-games. Also, I never wished to claim what you had said.

    The last sentence seemed to fail in understanding figurative speech, which was used in that context of "extraordinary". I do dislike word games

  • @ACANOFSODA

    "Humans are the only species that demonstrate that, though the defining characteristic of the species is not that"

    Your point is moot since my premise is irrelevant to your strawman insinuation of religiosity, theism, etc. as being the "defining" intrinsic attribute to humans.

    It's just the one intrinsic attribute that is pertinent to the false allegation of "extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary evidence" which my preceding post elaborates upon and refutes. Try to focus :)

  • Comment removed

  • @ACANOFSODA

    "Human demonstrating it does not make it intrinsic, which I believe was my question"

    What does it make it then? do you believe that you have a better word to define the demonstrable proclivity of religiosity, theism, etc. as evidenced from our earliest recorded history and overwhelmingly until this day? Innate, peculiar, natural etc.?

    Take your pick and then go back to the actual issue as my proposition postulates, if you believe that you have a valid rebuttal to it.

  • @LizardLeaps State the actual issue for me please, because the side-points you have thrown have had as much of an effect on putting aside the issues as my complaints with your behavior, which I stated directly had nothing to do with the main point. I also said that none of which would be used against you, as I have no reason to. So, please, try and understand that.

  • @LizardLeaps As stated, you miss the point of "intrinsic" and what it means, especially by the definition you cited. You seem to pinpoint questions in my sentences, reply to them ignoring all the others, then state that I am the one diverging from the main topic. I have not refuted that humans demonstrated it. But even 100% of any set demonstrating does not logically follow that it is intrinsic within the set.

  • @ACANOFSODA

    "I can see speaking with you will be difficult"

    As to this opinionated hypocrisy of your, why don't you take on my actual proposition if you can, instead of being "difficult", and diverting, via irrelevancies in word play nonsense which have no bearing on the actual issue?

    If you're looking to argue for the sake of argument itself, and aren't interested or capable of dealing with the issues directly...by operating in logically sound argumentation, then please don't waste my time.

  • Joe Rogan Anyone?!

  • Yeah, Christianity just got demolshed

  • @LizardLeaps There seems to be a supposition I am not seeing. Apologies if that's the case. "...intrinsic human proclivity of belief by faith in God/s, theism, religiosity, etc..." - What point are you attempting to state about this, and how is it intrinsic? Human proclivity can be readily described, but not the intrinsic nature you so speak of. In fact, even if all members of a group exhibited a said quality, it doesn't necessarily make it intrinsic. That statement quite bothers me.

  • @ACANOFSODA

    "That statement quite bothers me"

    Don't let it bother you unless you want to contradict and self-refute your entire position being the of lack of belief in God/s.

    Intrinsic in my sense of use, means belonging naturally to something. eg.(peculiar to human nature)

    If religiosity, theism etc. weren't a natural proclivity, then by process of elimination in logical deduction and by what is useful/practical in normal discourse, (true dichotomy) it would therefore be Supernatural. :)

  • I feel misrepresented under the strawman argument, actually. Firstly, "Humans are the only species that demonstrate that, though the defining characteristic of the species is not that" was more to reference "then at best you're arguing against yourself" after "If you wish to claim that it's unknown as to whether or not other species are religions, theistic, etc.", which made me question the connectivity of the two. Just in case, the following sentence was made. I then asked, just in case.

  • @LizardLeaps Now, you say Intrinsic means "belonging naturally to something", which you designated that something as "human" - correct? In that case, through natural belonging to "something", which you are designating as a group, which we have defined, then simply an individual at the time not exhibiting that behavior would show it isn't natural to humans, more-so than some humans find it natural.

  • @LizardLeaps It's not supernatural because the "weren't" can refer towards two things: That not all members(humans) exhibit this tendency, yet some due such that I could create a subgroup of individuals, which this natural proclivity is not natural to humans, but of the defined subgroup or that all humans do not exhibit natural proclivity, and you instead interpret that something else. Unless I am misinterpreting your sentence. If so, my apologies. It didn't make sense. Too much fluff.

  • @LizardLeaps "Don't let it bother you unless you want to contradict and self-refute your entire position being the of lack of belief in God/s." - What did this exactly have to do with anything, and how could that statement of mine contradict my lack of belief in God/s? Tell me. I'd be glad to hear.
