"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. "

I imagine that that Matt Dilahunty was itching for his Atheist Experience caller cut off button all the way through this. This is excruciating.

"I encountered the risen Christ" -It makes it sound like he ran into him at the grocery store or something.

[tranquility4all]

Hans is making assertions & LYING. I'm glad Matt called him out when he asserted secularism & atheism enabled Hitler.

[mbturner625]

Equivocation followed by Reductio ad Hitlerum. It's like this guy is *new* at this

[Largo64]

@Ibis333 I don't think the priest is lying as much as he is mistaken. I think he believes what he says, but is wrong.

[kikisdragon]

great quote: 'its not a debate until someone brings up Hitler' lol

[RockBanned]

If God or this "sacred spiritual dimension" isn't quantifiable or observable or recordable, than what methodology could he possibly use to disceren its existence?

His whole argument is based on blind assertions.

[hairychris444]

No. No. NO. NO! That priest is either lying or misinformed.

[Ibis333]

When he's not lying, he's blathering.
