The question was, 'would you kill me if God told you to?' Dinesh doesn't even attempt to answer it. It's a real shame he doesn't take a stab at it because it's impossible for a believer in God to survive that question without looking bad on way or the other.

Dan Barker crushed D'Souza like a bug.

[Paul Tokjian]

Barker is the 4th new Atheist along with Dennet, Harris and Dawkins.

[Perry Rogers]

I never thought anyone would come close to Hitch, but by jingo, Dan may even be better!!!

[Antonis Deves]

Mr. Barker

you r da Man!!

If D'Souza says one more time that he shares no genes with other members of the human race with whom he is not immediately related I'm going to scream. He does realise we share about 99% of our genes with chimps right? & 40% with lettuce for Christ's sake - in Dinesh's case obviously the figure is arguably higher.

[Vinicius Maia]

FRIEND, HIS ANSWER WAS NO! I agree with him in this point. If god talked to me and ordered me to kill a atheist because the guy is atheist, i simply do not kill for a lot of reasons.1-I can be crazy.2-God can be a kind of devil or some spiritual being.3-I do not believe in a god that order to kill.4- The god that I believe never appeared to me - and never will in this life -orders me to love atheists.5-God do not do such a thing, if he do i would not believe in him.6-Kill is a sin.

[matenoway]

Agree.

Besides, Dinesh offered the Bible (which has no prove for it's truth claims) and lied (the Bible God clearly commands people to kill).

Poor Dinesh, he loses all his debates.

[dwolfcoach]

Barker kicks d'douchbag's ass.

[bendkafka]

So God never told Abraham to kill Isaac. That whole thing in the Bible is BS. I thought so, just like so much of it is.

"I have no genes in common with him" LOL yeah I bet you don't (religionists are so narrow minded)
