maybe im simple minded, but i the entire talk has taken a back seat to the audience members comment at the very end: comparing 9/11 truthers to Holocaust denialists is very disingenuous.
For those interested in seeing Shermer having his ass handed to him by the brilliant and far more "Bright" Stephen C. Meyer, check out my profile. Once you see the intellectual beatdown Meyer gives him you'll never look at Shermer the same again.
Type in "trickbusters". 2 sceptics analysing magic from a critical thinking point of view and debunking all who pretend to have supernatural powers... MAGIC DOESN'T EXIST... ONLY TRICKS!
Very interesting. I'm going to have to read the book. The feeling I get from this talk is that I agree with Dr. Shermer on the broad themes, and disagree only on more specific points.

This guy is wrong. Our emotions come from God because we are a reflection of His great almighty nature. He has chosen us to share his nature because he loves us all, even the RRS.
Heh. I guess God loves us all up til after judgement day, which is when he watches atheists, gays and feminists getting torched in flames through his holy satellite TV.
He already knows which of us will be in Hell, so he can be extremely economical with his Love. Too bad we've never gotten a coherent message from him ^_^ I guess we'll all just have to wait and see which "right way" he likes most, and enjoy burning in Hell while feeling justified that we all did our best to make the right decisions.

Wait a sec...
I finished the video and understand what Mr. Shermer is saying now. It all makes sense if God is only imaginary. =)
