Slick shows why I hate apologists.

What he's basically saying is 'Logic exists, therefor god exists' which holds about as much water as saying 'Dogshit exists, therefor god exists.'

Just he dresses it up really elaborately in order to stump people and then declares victory if they can't cut through all the bullshit fast enough for a snappy reply.

Fucking apologists.

[gulbirk]

Am I the only one who feel like apologism is basicly just stating allot of things that sound good without presenting evidence?

[knightone57]

Did Matt Slick start out as a used car salesman?

[dahuterschuter]

TAG sets up a massive premise which still doesn't actually lead to the drawn conclusion.

[TheThunderduck]

His entire argument falls apart when he says "I'm ONLY going to give you two choices" . He's setting unrealistic papameters. When he says "you can't, you can't, you can't" he's ommiting viable options in the debate. In the end, what it really boils down to is "God exists because I say so". His argument is no stronger than that. You could take his entire argument and prove the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists just as easily.

[socioeconomicsisshit]

@gulbirk No, you are dead right the entire argument was "talk shit until I confuse you". It is no wonder he thinks he wins debates. Every time he said something and it was pointed out he had argued it, he turned to "no I didn't". I know I heard the argument that thought and so god are outside this universe. Debate cancelled due to poor argument and out right dishonesty in my book.

[TomVodkaCollins]

@gulbirk That's the definition of religion as a whole, not just apologism.

[TomVodkaCollins]

This guy says a hell of a lot, while constantly complaining that he's yet to make his point. I doubt there is a point...besides the one atop his mostly empty noggin, that is.

[JACOESHMT]

@Shavarnarak You need to get educated more maybe drop your ignorance.

[thesparitan]

@Feydmep hear hear.

[thesparitan]

@mikesomething You understand the truth of his noodle appendage.

[bootneckbonz]

@gulbirk You are absolutely bang on, mate. That is exactly what it is. Trying to dress up known facts to present and parallel other ideas with absolutely no substance but to those who want to believe in them.
