The fundamental difference between DJW and TAA is that DJW has a degree in strawmanning =)
DJW actually told me that we cannot prove the earth's roundness... philosophically. I guess that's how you avoid losing an argument... you obscure the facts. So if I have to choose sides, I side with my brother in Christ. Even if I were an atheist, I would do my best to discern which guy cares about other people more. And it has yet to appear to be DJW.
So it seems that I am being proven right in my choice for the debate. As many people seem to dislike DJW as you dislike Brock. I guess if he picks DJW... we get to find out for sure.
DJW makes you mad, but Brock doesn't? DJW is responding directly to Brock's generalizations, insults, strawman arguments and plagiarism. Can you tell me how DJW compares to that?
TAA makes you mad and DJW doesn't? Wellman strawman's Christianity in almost every video when he's not picking on TAA. He outright slanders Brock... something I highly doubt he would do in person. Brock plagiarized and apologized and has since corrected himself. There's not much I can do if you do not think the apology was sincere. I take him at his word, as I would DJW if he apologized for strawmanning Christianity.
David is a great choice, but what's with the backhanded compliment? David is "probably his intelectual equal". Brock is a confirmed plagerist with dozens of factual errors in his videos just in the past couple weeks.
Jay, regardless of your respect for TAA, the vast majority (myself included) of us have a much greater level of respect for you than we do for Brock. You are the Batman to his Alfred if anything, certainly not the other way around. If you are still up for our discussion which may or may not lead to a debate, I would like to start that around September 1st. I think we have a lot in common and a lot of differences, making for a long and interesting talk. Let's both start considering topics...
There's another atheist I think you should really check out. His name is ZJemptv. His delivery style is a little monotonous, but his logic and intelligence are undeniable. He deals with mostly homosexual issues, but I think he'd be able to adapt to whatever.
I would hardly consider what TAA and I did as a debate...I made two vids calling him out, and he kinda half-assedly responded to the both of them in a very truncated and dismissive way. But whatever...i dont really want to be in consideration for this debate anyway. Thanks for the shout-out, however.
The punching-the-computer-screen thing is exactly why you made he right choice...because thats how we feel every time we watch a TAA video. Good pick, couldn't have done better myself lol
I had heard through the grapevine that he irks you guys a little bit. Boy I sure hope it's not like DJW though. He's probably a great guy in real life, but he sure plays a mean character on tv.
Thanks TAA. You know I wish you the best woth whomever you pick for this debate. And I do not think that my opinion should count for more than anyone elses. So take my 2 videos for what they're worth... just one vote =)
Very glad I could make you laugh... there's plenty more where that came from! The best in Christian entertainment is my new goal. lol
And you think Brock is DJW's intellectual equal? You're a nice guy, my friend, but I fear your powers of discrimination require some tweaking.

I would much rather you debate any of these people instead of Brock. You are the more intelligent and are a real thinker about everything.

Thanks POE... I'll give him a look. The name rings a bell so possibly we've crossed paths before but I'll check it out none the less.
Thanks 4 the comment bro!

It seems I agree with the guy above buddy
You are hardly the lightweight and I know very well I am no heavyweight.

I would disagree that Brock is the heavyweight and you're the lightweight. You're videos are much more honest, and that counts for a lot.

Thanks Antybu86, much appreciated.
Unfortunately the only way I can be considered a heavyweight compared to TAA is that I outweigh him physically.
