D'Souza / Loftus Debate, Pt 11/13

[BabyfartMcGeesak]

I hate this idea that Dinesh is somehow very intelligent.... he's a creationist, he doesn't understand evolution, he thinks believing in Jesus is as simple or realistic as believing in Bob down the street. He's a dumbass. Why can't people see that?

[zech48]

unicorns dont brainwash children

[TheUsfantelope]

Loftus missed an easy rebuttal to his opponent's unicorn tangent. The reason to debate god is because u.s. currency does not have 'in unicorns we trust.' If everyone was agreeing that unicorns are real, ppl would debate their claims. If ppl were trying to teach about unicorns in schools, ppl wuld gladly debate them.

[HonestTechnoAtheist]

I can't believe that Dinesh said all that at 3:00 That atheists really do believe but they just don't want to be held accountable. That is something a common christian would say.

[MrMohjong]

@HonestTechnoAtheist I don't think I will watch any more debate with Dinesh in them he just says the same stuff in every debate the other thing that gets me about Dinesh is that you don't have to believe in God to be interested in Religion and to write books about it.

[HonestTechnoAtheist]

@MrMohjong Have you seen Willaim Lane Craig debate. He is so bad that I just skip over his parts and watch his opponent speak.

[MrMohjong]

@HonestTechnoAtheist Yeah I've heard craig hes not that bad Dinesh is pretty good when hes not attacking stawman did you see the debate bettwen Dinesh and Singer?

[MrMohjong]

@MrMohjong sorry Strawman

[HonestTechnoAtheist]

@MrMohjong No not yet. Although I will get to it in time. Have you seen Dinesh vs Barker?

[MrMohjong]

@HonestTechnoAtheist yeah its was pretty good I like Barker but dude Singer wipe the floor with Dinesh .

[HonestTechnoAtheist]

@MrMohjong Well I will make that my next debate to watch then.

[MrMohjong]

@HonestTechnoAtheist Yeah do that Peter Singer is a amazing debater

[MrDanielHen]

@HonestTechnoAtheist Craig is articulate and quick. To what debates do you refer to when Craig is being a bad apologist?

[HonestTechnoAtheist]

@MrDanielHen All of them lol. He says the exact same crap in every single one of his debates that has been refuted so many times already. Why do I need to waste my time hearing the same thing over and over again?

[MrDanielHen]

@HonestTechnoAtheist Ironic, this "crap" wasn't refuted by Hitchens, Zindler, Atkins, etc. Of course he uses the same arguments, but they aren't refuted, from the many I see. Even other atheists like Daniel Dennet do recognize he is a wonderful debater.

[HonestTechnoAtheist]

@MrDanielHen I don't think Zindler did the best job he could have and Hitchens would be better to debate more along the lines of religion rather than the philosophical arguments for and against the existence of god. And I haven't watched the Atkins debate yet.

I recommend you watch Craig debate Austin Dacey, Victor Stenger, Richard Carrier and Bart Ehrman.

He is a debater alright seeing as how he does Soooo much of it.

[MauricXe]

@HonestTechnoAtheist Sam Harris gets his shot against Craig soon. As does Dr. Krauss. Should be interesting. I expect Krauss to wipe the floor with Craig.

[HonestTechnoAtheist]

@MauricXe Is Craig going to debate Harris and Krauss? I want him to debate Barker and Dillahunty, as well as AronRa.

[MauricXe]

@HonestTechnoAtheist Yes. He will debate Harris April 7th. Krauss will be a week earlier I believe

[wjb67ii]

It is very ironic that Loftus misquotes the great Christian writer CS Lewis in this segment: "A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful in his reading." It's too true.

[CamAtheist]

LMAO..so he is a scientist and sees nothing in Christianity that contradicts science. LMAO. As for Dinesh, He is a total clown and a hippocrit. I can never take Jesus freaks serious...totally ignorant.

[mjr256]

Loftus never said people should just take his word on things ever. Another shameless distortion by Dinesh.

And by Dinesh's logic, he must believe in atheism because he devotes his life to obsessing about how atheists are wrong. It's not imaginary gods that atheists are concerned about but the delusional nutjobs who act on behalf of those imaginary gods. (See: 9/11)

[Darthbelal]

@mjr256 it's a good point. Religion and Atheism are polar opposites, and both are defending themselves, so the obsession thing kicks in.

[mjr256]

@Darthbelal

Only polar opposite in so much as one is usually associated with evidence-based thinking while the other is associated with fantasy-based thinking. But if actively promoting, science, reason, critical thinking, and an honest search for truth is an obsession, then call me obsessed.

[FrankS1Is]

Kman

Logic does not make sense to a lot of people.

[Kmangod]

D'Souza talks in circles and makes no sense. This guy can't answer a question. The audience is more intelligent then these two clowns.

[cowcrap2]

that is false. Have you ever spoken to D'souza? Probably not, so you're a clown
