The religious members of the panel seem to have 3 modes of argumentation:

1) Play the victim.

2) Be real nice, concede points to the opposition, then pull a gigantic rabbit out of a hat, and assert that religion is perfectly sensible.

3) Lie, obfuscate, and change the subject.

It's the best they can do, I suppose, given that they have no rational justification for their beliefs.

I've seen loads of debates regarding a large variety of topics, and there is no one, no one that can even rise to The Hitch knees when it comes to debating a point. He was truly remarkable.

Wow, the Catholic Father says that homosexuality is not a sin! Better tipex it out of your bibles folks. Maybe he should commission a reprint?

Begging of video: It comes to something when a religious person makes the argument in defense of religion that many water down their religion to taste.

Poor Waleed Aly. It must be hard to be a muslim AND a rabid postmodernist.

[enfinite5]

WTF is the priest talking about! he is completely lying about being gay and it being a sin.

@burptholemew Those three modes of argumentation have worked for 2000 odd years :-)
