Novelist and Professor of Philosophy Rebecca Goldstein discusses how to respond to someone who would claim that you cannot lead an ethical life without the existence of a deity.
This was a decent talk but Mrs. Goldstein is a bland speaker and the Q&A was tangential as hell. The only thing more trite than religious stupidity is bashing religious stupidity Mr. Audience member guy. Let's keep the arguments polite and quick: religion is man-made and extraneous and hateful, that's more than adequate grounds for dismissal. Then if necessary, we deconstruct god and prove that its an extraordinary, nonfalsifiable, supernatural claim with not the slightest evidence. Case closed.
