Should Rationals Give Evidence? RationalResponse Has a Dogma

This is my comment on what is claimed around minute 1:00 of this video:

by RationalResponse.

It's circular logic for me. Paraphrasing, this is how it would sound to me:
"I claim without taking the burden of proving it that any believer in God is delusional in the sense of having a mental disorder, because he believes in things without evidence that they are true, or despite contrary evidence".

It is a fundamental requirement now that RationalResponse provides proof for his claims or otherwise he would be admitting of being equally at fault as any believer, therefore of being delusional himself, therefore of not being reliable as making faithful statements. And his theorem would be automatically disproved. (self-contradiction)

I'm also here to refute the usual misconception that lack of belief in God is an automatic assurance of one's rationality and abidance to a rational empirical method. It is not, as I have verified myself several times in YouTube. It is a case-by-case issue. It is the argument that can be rational or irrational, not the person.

Does that make any sense at all?

The cause is brainwashing as a child, the cure is no brainwashing + education.

Maybe its not a disorder? Just stupidity perhaps?

And in my opinion this can be measured with some tests created for this. When people start to explain things with something else than the facts are... I think that's normal in humanity, but religious people are much more likely to do so. So Is it disorder?

I don't decide that.

You're actually making sence. :)

This would be interesting topic to talk about.

In my opinion:

It's just a strong belief, which replaces rational thinking sometimes.

I guess he means that. Some times people replaces their own thinking with strong beliefs. => disorder?

Beliving in something which doesn't exist for others can cause that you don't think on our own.

I agree with you and if my video would finaly process I would almost say the same (:
