Dinesh D'Souza is king of overboard hyperboles, false analogies and misrepresentation.

Why does D'Souza shout all the time? I think the answer is obvious.

[PenguinInNaples]

Why does he keep talking about the universe requiring a cause but god doesn't need one. He's such a little weasel.

Logical fallacy. Hitler was passionate with that he believed.. it doesn't make him right. That last concern of yours makes no sense.

[Charles Cho]

Mr. D'Souza makes so much sense. Dinesh is passionate with what he believes. Is this what the universities teach? After learning what Mr. Dennett is teaching, my main concern is that, can you guys get a real job. What are you guys learning?

Yet another analogy?

"None of the above" IS the only rational conclusion.

(I know this comment was a year ago, but still) That is all I notice. The man just yells and yells. Says almost nothing.

Its interesting how a goofy Christian Indian is able to so easily frustrate the atheist using the same satirical method that they've been using to mock Christians for years. More over, he forces atheism to confront its own fallacious lunacy instead arbitrarily throwing a subjectivity blanket over everything and asserting it as truth claims. The comments below attacking his character and skipping his portion of the debate essentially validates my point.

If the universe were intelligently designed then D'Souza would have a volume knob on his back that he could not reach himself.
