I love this guy; so eloquent, that he takes an opposing point that was meant to be venomous and then turns it into a profound question that unbelievers must now deal with. How you like dem apples?
@GalileoUnchained Thanks for your pleasantness. I totally understand the supernatural objection. There doesn't appear to be a way to empirically prove it. Though, there are other proofs that do work, and also rational inferences that can be made. I fall towards the side that accepts the accumulation of these latter ideas.
@zenowing Is Christianity true? If so, then it could be something powerful to lean on. If not, then ... not so much. Obviously, the Bible exists. As for a person who got Christianity started--could be. It's the supernatural component of Christianity that I find hard to accept.
@zenowing Understood. I certainly can't expect Greg to explain everything in one short video. I was just commenting on (what was perhaps obviously) an open issue.
The message is good. I think that if Greg had a lavalier Microphone it would be better, or at least amplification. of the final sound track. Keep up the great work
@GalileoUnchained I don't think that Greg is arguing that there is a physical person that a Christian will literally lean against for support.
At a bare minimum, we're talking about the Bible, and that certainly exists. Or, are you arguing that Jesus didn't exist? If so, again, this is covered elsewhere.
Also, a 'head counting' argument isn't very powerful.
Those who make this accusation also have their own "crutches". To counter this, what could we suggest as their "crutch"?

I agree that numbers don't count for too much.
