Dinesh learned that political people eat up lies. You just have to say things with confidence! However, Dinesh hasn't studied the Bible or philosophy. Sadly for him, Christians see him as a bad debater and philosophers know he is a bad debater. The same tactic of boldly telling lies doesn't work outside of politics! Sorry Dinesh!
Dinesh D'Felon's first question, asking who is trying to legislate based on their interpretation of christianity shows exactly what a disingenuous person he is.
I just left an innocent comment on a Michael Knowles talk ( can’t remember who he was with) saying I was an atheist & just believed in treating everyone as I would like to be treated. The responses came in thick & fast from Christians. I found it disconcerting that people don’t understand their beliefs are not mine. There was an underlying aggressive desperation to get me to try to have their faith. I do not believe but I have never said to a religious person you should not believe. Is it a form of Stockholm Syndrome they have? Our closest friends became born again after marriage problems but we never discussed it. They were our closest friends until sadly, they both died in their 50s. I do believe that the promise of a wonderful afterlife is the most compelling factor in religions. I am in my 70s so a third ager as they say here in Spain. I am certainly not afraid of death - only how I get there.
Well I don't think stockhold syndrome is actually a scientific thing, it is an observed phenomenon, but not something that actually gets real research on it. I would compare it more to a sunk cost fallacy, but not in terms of financial investmemt, but emotional investment. You spend so much time of your life making up excuses for why bad things happen, you accept on a deeper level, that there is an afterlife, so once you already came to accept so much, you tendnto further seek excuses to believe, than to do the reasonable turn around because so much emotional weight has already gone down the religion drain.
I will say this, for all the disagreements I may have with apologists and religious philosophers; they have the mental fortitude to go rounds with really good debaters. Takes a level of professionalism and confidence to step into these rings.
“Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God” ACIM. He can not attack God or the source of consciousness at all.
There is no evidence for God. All claims for God are human ideas. And human ideas do not dictate reality. If anything, human ideas are often antithetical to reality.
He destroy nothing at all! Real " God" is not a thing that you can see, or know but the source or the space that allow every knowledge..... study Advaita Vedanta or Buddhism to know for yourself the essence of what some people may call God, Emptiness, Atma, Clear light, I AM, Sat Chit Anananda, etc but we may call God.

"God is a manifestation of an undeveloped mind."
~A.S Rana
Just because some scientists also believe in god doesn't mean their belief is based on scientific evidence.
"No it isn't"
- Someone who is aware that not all smart people agree on everything
Ultimately, at the end of all of these debates, there remains no evidence for any god - ever!....
The fine tuning argument is taken seriously as evidence by many scholars.

Absolutely. I witnessed several campaigns against amendment 4 (abortion). When I asked, all of them based their reasoning on christianity.
"Religion is where you follow everything. Science is where you challenge everything."
~A.S Rana
With religion "Faith" is required to "Believe In Lies"... With skepticism "Evidence" is required to "Discover the Truth"
D’Sousa pointing out that there are gaps in human knowledge. Those gaps are the perfect size to fit a one-size-fits all god into.
More important questions than “what happens after I die?”
“What/Who am I?”
“What do I need?”
“What am I capable of?”
Do have to say Dinesh has gotten a lot less angry shouty since his days with Dawkins. No less disagreement with him but that's cool.
Dinesh is insufferable…
Totally agree

He believes in God because we don't know the answers to Life the Universe and everything.

How old is this debate. CNN had more right wing apologists than ever.

Buy a house in Florida and try to pay for the insurance, you will find out immediately about climate change and it's cost.
Notice dillahunt didn’t name a single Supreme Court justice or legislation.
I take him on.
smug /smŭg/
adjective
Exhibiting or feeling great or offensive satisfaction with oneself or with one's situation; self-righteously complacent.
Dillahunty lost all credibility when he got frustrated and walked out of the Andrew Wilson debate. I can't take him seriously any more.
Why did he walk out?
Science doesn't care what you believe or not! 😂
Science and superstition are binary words.
End of debate. 😊
Absurd.
Dillahuntu is a joke. Andrew Wilson made him ragequit a debate.
