Just finished listening to this and my God, this guy is the biggest fuckin' idiot I've ever come across.

'You can't really tackle his arguments in the time allocated for debates' - bullshit, what you mean Copson is that YOU, an untrained tyro, can't deal with his arguments. I've seen plenty of atheist philosophers respond to Craig and for there to ensure a respectful, sophisticated discussion on the nuances of Craig's arguments. You simply lack the intellect to properly engage with him.

@RosesTimes the full quote is "As for religion, and the preposterous idea that we need God to be good, nobody wields a sharper bayonet than Sam Harris." -Richard Dawkins.

Clash of the Bullshit Merchants. They're both as deceptive and disingenuous as each other.

Pretty much spot on, Craig's tactics more or less comes down to long-winded circle arguments, straw mans, and faulty logic, which is not hard to see through with some basic logic and modern physic knowledge. Breaking that down to people without that knowledge takes a lot of time though, so by the time anyone have rebuked the first point, they are out of it. In a debate among intellectuals where no one have to spend 10 min explaining that the burden of proof is on Craig, he gets shredded.
