I’ve seen this a couple of times of late, where people will defend the religious because, well, they don’t know any better. They are somehow rational in their beliefs because they’re stupid.
I ran into a thread on Reddit today, where they were talking about atheists who are conservative, because they couldn’t imagine how anyone who was intelligent, educated and non-religious could identify that way.
Well, once upon a time, I identified that way, at least in a limited fashion, so I read through it and found that it was mostly people who were talking out of their own asses.
Sorry John but you absolutely got your ass handed to you.
So Godless Engineer put up part of a discussion, theĀ video will be linked below, where he and a Christian were supposed to be debating the question of “all lives matter”. AndĀ sorry, in this particular exchange, GE completely lost.
This comes up a lot and I went and answered a question posed over on the MythVision YouTube channel today that asked if I believed that Jesus was real.
This is one of those things that I just don’t understand. Every year, I get a calendar, for the sole reason of marking what videos I’ve uploaded to YouTube and what days they premiere. That’s all I use it for. So why are there so many problems trying to do that?
I came across this yet again on the latest episode of Truth Wanted, where co-host Dave Warnock decided to pretend that there’s only one side in any political debate.
I know this is hardly a surprise but I just caught another instance and thought I’d bring it up. There are a lot of people out there who simply cannot keep their emotions in check. They clearly don’t even know that they’re doing it. Exactly why is that?
I’ve seen Matt Dillahunty say this a couple of times but I’ve always disagreed. The idea is that someone who thinks they have had an experience with the divine, that somehow justifies a belief in a god. Except it doesn’t. Only an *ACTUAL* experience with a *DEMONSTRABLE* deity would justify a belief that such a god was actually there.
