“The theist would choose ignorance” had to be the best line in the history of the show. The fact that a theist is the one who said it makes it that much better

[puckerings]

"The theist would choose ignorance."

Saying the quiet part out loud lol.

[jonandrews]

"The theist would choose ignorance" may be the greatest line ever spoken on this show 😂

[JohnMulhern]

What is scary is that somewhere in his head, he thinks he's making sense

[stevecut]

"First, produce the defendant" 🤣

[DJMaul]

An absolute master class in how to destroy a ridiculous argument.

[Jubee]

Mike is a perfect example of why I deconverted from religion

[milesligon]

This caller is a spectacular example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

[nagatopainbio-hazard]

How can something that isn't even a truth statement be a lie?

[davidbelway]

Faith is the art of lying to yourself.

[puckerings]

His last response is "yeah but if we had evidence like that then it would go against the presupposition I have made regarding this god idea." Sure. So what? Since there's no reason at all to believe your presupposition is correct, this is not an argument.

[Alacritous]

The theist says "there's a god" The atheist says "I don't believe you." That's it. That's the atheist position. I don't believe you. That cannot be a lie. It's an opinion.

[LoadPuller]

This is like Einstein debating a feral primate.

[chriskwakernaat]

God disconnected him, even he couldn't listen to his bullshit anymore..

[scarfhs]

To conflate Ganesh and Jesus is to ignore the elephant in the room.

[BaronVonQuiply]

One of the best things about the older episodes is Don laughing at ridiculousness

[dx]

This caller: "Atheism is a lie."
Also this caller: "Nobody has any evidence God exists."

So then, how is atheism a lie, if theists can't prove to atheists that God exists?

[Leszek.Rzepecki]

The argument that "atheists really believe in god, they just deny it so they can sin!" is possibly one of the stupidest apologetics arguments I've ever heard. Those kinds of apologists just cannot conceive of a mindset that doesn't believe, or even isn't capable of that sort of belief without evidence or sound reason.

[jonclark]

Theists tell us all the time that they have evidence that proves their deity exists yet every single time they are challenged to present that evidence they dodge and deflect before they flail and fail. With a 100% failure rate, how is it that Atheists are the liars exactly?

[familyvideos]

I get such a kick out of Don's condescending laugh 😄
