The Source of Human Morality [7/9] (debate)

"The Source of Human Morality" - a debate held at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County on November 16, 2010. Hosted by UMBC's Orthodox Christian Fellowship and Secular Student Alliance. With Matt Dillahunty and Father Hans Jacobse.

Matt Dillahunty is the president of the Atheist Community of Austin, and host of the popular public access television and internet show "The Atheist Experience." He was raised as a fundamentalist Baptist, and was on track to become a minister until he started asking questions about the reasons for his belief. He rejected religion, and now serves as a public voice for rationality and secular morality.

Father Hans Jacobse is an Antiochian Orthodox Priest, who administers the website Orthodoxy Today and heads the American Orthodox Institute. Fr. Hans is convinced that Orthodox Christianity has an important part to play in American moral renewal. He views the current world as a battle between competing moral visions of the secular and the sacred, and hopes that Christianity can restore the moral tradition of the gospels.

Turn off your sound while he's talking and imagine he's baking cookies.

[MivH124]

I love how he's asked how to tell the difference between immaterial and imaginery and he ends up at i can't answer that yes or no and then starts to talk about the truth???? answer the bloody question

[BottleConcreteBlond]

You could also say religious ideologies always end in blood.

[bradkey98765]

It doesn't suprise me that a man who claims to have seen Jesus counts fiction as truer than non-fiction and that things you imagine are actually somehow true at some kind of deeper level.

@Kida001 There is much evidence to suggest that Hitler in fact was not a religious person. However, he sure understood the usefulness of religion. Credulous people with strong faith in authority and dogma, how convenient.

[xipheonj]

This priest needs a straight jacket with a tinfoil hat.

[Kida001]

Why is he completely discounting the fact that Hitler was a religious person and the holocaust was sanctioned by the church, as was slavery?
