I can't believe all the anger I see in these posts toward Dinesh. Even the audience is getting bashed because they were polite enough to applaud both debaters. This is a debate meant to challenge your views. If you think atheism holds all the answers, then you're close-minded also.

"Peter, you didn't answer my irrelevant and inaccurate accusation!"

@Yekerable I don't think you understand what being atheist means. It's exactly what Singer say: "There is no evidence for a god, so I don't think there is one."

That's it!

Beyond that he is expressing his own view on morality and what he sees as a problem with Christianity based on his own ethics.

If you think there should be a set of morals and views for all atheists I think you've joined the wrong side.

On Singer being confused, lol. Very few people are as rational and logical as him.

Singer looks perplexed. I don't think he is used to being in situations where people are so openly dishonest and being applauded for it. His hopes for the world is crumbling in front of his eyes while observing this audience and fraud.

BLA BLA BLA I DON'T EVEN NEED TO WATCH THE VIDEO TO KNOW THAT D'SOUZA IS A FOUNTAIN OF BULLSHIT

@andreasdrg he uses that argument often and i really dislike it. Dating and scientific inquiry are two completely different endeavors. I doubt that there is a single scientist in the world who does science so he can know within a few months whether god exists or not. Scientific inquiry arises from our natural curiosity and its sound methodology places on the very opposite spectrum of the impracticality and stupidity of "waiting for the data to come in" on your sexual attraction to someone.

I have less than positive feelings about Dinesh D'Souza. I'm allergic to purveyors of (what I think are) lies and delusions.

[joseromero2010]

I can't believe I watched all of this bullshit. Peter Singer should not have graced Dinesh with his presence. That is all.

[MrSDSTRIKEBREAKER]

@Yekerable He's an atheist. If you knew anything about atheism (combined with the fact that he's debating Dinesh) you'd realise that he's an atheist. What, precisely, about his position or anything he said in this debate makes you think he's "somewhere in the middle" ? He sees no good reason to believe in a theistic god - you're confused because?????

[Yekerable]

Geat and very educational debate, i think mr. singer is a confused individual beening an atheist he sure not really represnting the view of atheism . it feel like he is somewhere in the middle, he is not an athiest nor a religious person.
