TAG, Matt: You're it... (PROLOGUE)

[snarky77005]

I can't stand Matt Slick either. He is an intellectually dishonest blowhard who exaggerates his own intelligence and then runs away from a debate when he gets cornered. He bans people from his website on a whim. The nicest thing I can say for him is that the guy is a dishonest jerk.

[joxua1five]

once again... Clifton has no answers. what a surprise.

[TheoreticalBullshit]

@joxua1five Is this directed at me? Answers to what? Is there something you'd like a response to?

[VidEvage]

@TheoreticalBullshit I think he's just doing what most call trolling. Getting his jollies making vague comments and generally tooting his own horn to get heard.

Actually, that sounds a lot like me. Except, you'd have to add long hair, a beard, a pro-theoreticalbs banner over my head and make my horn far, far, more obnoxious. Oh, and just for laughs throw Bigfoot in my car. Wait, what? o.O

...I was going somewhere with this but it seems as though I forgot my own point. Oh well.

[joxua1five]

@TheoreticalBullshit

Uh... I thought i just did respond. Are you TBS? This is your video, yes? Than yes, you. Haha! Sorry, just messin'. I can be a real sarcastic prick. Actually, no. The statement was just rhetorical as indicated by the fact that it is not directed at anyone or doesn't end with a question mark . I just learned about this debate a week ago and saw that it was a little old so didn't even think i would get a response. But, I'll jump down the rabbit hole.

[joxua1five]

@TheoreticalBullshit

And, this thing you got with Mr. Slick... he's obviously a smart guy, too. But, he doesn't have all the answers. He's still searching. As are you. And there is nothing wrong with that. In fact the Bible encourages intelligent men to find the answers. I don't know either of you but I already know a major difference between the two of you. Mr. Slick, I guarantee, has at least once prayed for you to be forgiven and that your soul see everlasting life.

[joxua1five]

@TheoreticalBullshit

Have you done the same or anything similar for him?

[BigLundi]

@joxua1five ...Did you just ask if TBS has done something similar to Matt as 'praying'? Are you serious with that statement?

I severely doubt TBS has done anything as completely and utterly useless as praying for Matt, and has actualy done N+MORE for him, by showing his TAG argument up for what it really is...a juxtapositional jumble of confused rhetoric with the pure intent on confusing people into submission.

If Matt has prayed for TBS, he should sacrifice a goat too, it's as useful.

[joxua1five]

@TheoreticalBullshit

And I believe the correct word is respond. . . not response. Thank you!

[joxua1five]

@joxua1five

I watched a few of your videos before deciding to reply and i will say that you are obviously an intelligent individual who won't be discombobulated by jargon and an articulate vernacular. Lol! I was just so . . . disappointed by this response. I was expecting to further hear your views on atheism. But, instead you wasted your BRILLIANCE on insults and condescension. That explains my sarcasm. I couldn't help myself. But, I understand this was your little game of tag you had.

[BigLundi]

@joxua1five No. This wasn't the response. This is the prologue to the response, this is him explainign why he had so many reasons NOT to respond, yet did anyway. The ACTUAL response is not only in the description, but at the end of the video as well.

[medic85573]

Slick owned TBS in his response. Call him what you want but he's smart. He focuses on TAG itself, and points out where TBS is using diversion to keep from answering the ultimate question. Is that what you guys consider ad hominem?? It's hilarious to see Slick accused of ad hominem, then to read the comments on this page. All insults, yet no answer to the ultimate question that Slick put forth.

[TheoreticalBullshit]

@medic85573 You realize Slick has not responded to this, right? (This video is just the prologue, my rebuttal is linked in the description box. Slick has responded to neither.) 

[lordabomity]

I'm not gay or anything but I would love you if I were LOL

[Seraph821]

@lordabomity I'm gay, and I understand. xD

[MrMohjong]

Matt Slick reminds me of J.P. Holdings there both rude insulting and are big fans of using Ad hominem argumentation, and ad nauseam

[moyga]

Wow what a disingenuous prick.

Sounds like someone got scared off.

[evolve749]

My goodness, does Matt Slick seem like a dick and a half. Everytime I've seen or heard him, he seems more concerned with bullying people and trying to make them look stupid than actually persuading them. That is a strange stance for an apologist to take.

[Naked4Jesus]

Matt Slick Is a piece of shit and horrible excuse for a human. This is easily obvious to the casual observer.

[NerdsUnited47]

Matt Slick makes good lubricant :)

[mabeaver]

Matt Slick = homophobic idiot bully boy who likes to ban atheist posters on a whim at his crackpot web site.

[Theologica37]

Well done.

Matt Slick is an idiot.

[BoOyaH1388]

Why do you bother with Matt Slick, Scott?

I've seen how he conducts himself on CARM and he acts like a spoilt child.

[ColoradoMikeyS]

Matt Slick is such a god damned dumbass.

[tarkana613]

too bad, itd be nice if he could use that to give them something better to think about with their free time

[jrev37]

Matt Sneak, I mean slick, where are you.

can you say

BUCK BUCK  BUCK BUCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Dragos1591]

I think Matt Thick is better.

[tarkana613]

wow, cant believe how many ppl watch this from knowing him from soap operas. i didnt eve know he was anyone famous til a few weeks ago. really weird. woulda thought then he'd have a ton of subscirbers too. plus these vids are pretty down to earth and not full of fluff like unnecessarily long fancy intros.

[Hedning1390]

His videos are about logic and arguments (mostly religious). That is not interesting to most.

[tarkana613]

heh, yeah, i guess of the large body of mostly middle-aged houswives that make up the one life to live audience, very few of them want to hear about deep theological arguments

[seraphinapandora]

HOLY...poo. I had NO idea either! Didn't even recognise the name (don't watch much TV).

Wow....

As to subscribers, Alec Hopkins has less, I think, and he was young Snape in Harry Potter. Girls were going CRAZY about him. His videos aren't bad, but they're of a different nature.

But, wow, yes, very down-to-earth. We need more people like Scott to be in the business.

[garylevoxfan4life]

i know i meant i started liking him when he was dillon and still like him now that he's on one life to live

[garylevoxfan4life]

i like scott since he was dillon on gh i am a scott clifton fan since he was on gh

[metal1dragon]

I had no idea you where an Actor currently on TV.

[nessia18]

He's on One Life To Live, used to be on General Hospital, and is also a musician.

[LJonYT]

Just a hint of "Do you know who I am?" :-). Keep it coming Scott! Love it.

[TUEZ440]

Alright fans here we go in the main event in the blue corner wearing nothing but his ego Matt. And in the red corner wearing a really nice shirt and a cool necklace the undefeated, the undisputed-my hero Scott...............LLLLLLLLLL­EEEEEEEETTTTTTTTS (LETS) GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLE (RUMBLE)

[jrev37]

lol

[esntlsounds]

Dude, you HAVE to call in to Atheist Experience tomorrow and tell this story!

[Aaberg123]

Holy fuck. I've watched close to all your vids, and only now realized who you were. I thought I'd seen you somewhere before :P

[TheAtheistPaladin]

Ah, yes. The light of Jesus shines through the butt hole that is Matt Slick.

[AtheistAtLARGE]

Theo, man I dont get it, youve LIKE TOTALLY destroyed the guy in your previous vids, and at his website.

This guy just wont give up the THEOTOXINS any time soon I guess, its one of the hardest addictions to get rid of, the ego just dont want to die ...

Good luck, Ill watch the vid later, gtg

[poorkinghaggard]

That was the first time I heard you say your own name ;p.

Doesnt Matt Slick seem like a really bad relationship, where he doesnt know what he wants, but insists he wants things anyways?

[dvnleigh]

I went to watch Slick's video with an open mind and not even 2 minutes into it he pissed me off, so I can imagine how pissed you must have been.

I think what irritated me the most was that he referred to you as TBS. You're nice enough to use his name, he should acknowledge that you're human and use your name. What a jerk.

[dave28lax]

This time it's personal!

[ashaman72]

Go Scotty Go!

[onlywhenprovoked]

i saw this after watching half of your response, heading over to the one man mental circle jerk you were replying to, and then returned to re watch youre reply, and now i find myself here.

not the order i should have watched, but

wow

check mate.

[garytheagnostic]

Sock it to him!! Anyone who chooses to challenge you get's what they asked for.

[pfarabee]

Quick everyone, let's all say some fairly insulting things about TBS!! I'll go first... uhm.... your shirt is striped!

[philstilwell]

Yeah, Matt is quite the character.

Google "Apologetics Thuggery" for my own interaction with him on a YT video he later pulled.

[lnstrumentalist]

You should have said "Fuck you!" or something to that extent.

[LibertyIsNotGiven]

Matt Slick is an extraordinarily shameful presence within Christian apologia. And given the quality (or lack thereof) of most Christian apologetics, that's quite an achievement.

[CousinoMacul]

How come I'm not surprised at his behavior?

[debbieomi]

I am so far out of the soaps loop that I had no idea. I do remember when "you" were born on GH though. LOL

[DiceWarwick]

fucking win.

[jumbobobcleo]

ya, well he is no match for clifton and he

knows it. matt slick is already a loser,

and he doesnt want it make it worse.

[lilgrasshoppah]

I see the head line: Acclaimed Soap Actor Cleans Up On Snake Oil Salesman...

[Ryansarcade9]

Well scott, just take comfort in the fact that even though you're disappointed about not getting to debate slick, slick has through his actions shown himself to be an insecure dishonest little coward, and that ought to feel just as good as beating him in a debate.

[mathmexican4234]

Where can i find his response video?

[bronx43]

In case people don't know, Matt Slick's rebuttal is here.

watch?v=nLFfrpnbia0&feature=re­lated

[mathmexican4234]

thanks : )

[smettiuss]

The only good thing this dude has going for him is that he's hot. Other than that, meh. (I'd definitely jizz on this guy)

[andron333]

why dont you make a video, and we will see if you can do it better than him

[smettiuss]

@andron333:

Okay.

[bronx43]

I really hope Scott points out that the TAG argument is essentially the same as the first-cause argument. The only difference is that TAG is far more intellectually muddy, and allows for more of Slick's slimy word play.

[h8uall66]

Wow, I honestly had no idea you were a professional actor. That's pretty cool.

[avasephora]

hes in a tv show on abc called one life to live. :)

[ivanisavich]

Matt is a bottom of the barrel apologist. The ONLY reason why people pay attention to him is because he has a huge ego and he runs a popular Christian website.

[Greywyn7]

Holy shit, I didn't know you were an actor -_-

[bronx43]

Honestly, Slick is no match for Clifton.

[gertibitchin]

slick does not stand a CHANCE against clifton

[bananabread119]

Clifton for President!! ;P

[legalizemarijuananos]

clifton is why slick is hiding.

[oh2love4love]

wait a min. did I read this wrong? oops.. I think I need to go to bed, I'll check ya later. lol

[bronx43]

Are you talking about the link to the Slick rebuttal? If you are, then get rid of the space in between "re lated"
