'There's no purely natural disaster' DEBATE

The people of Pompeii didn't die to a volcanic eruption but actually they died because they simply didn't have enough helicopters ready to evacuate everybody.

Dammit! I just finished repairing the head-shaped hole in my wall, and now there's a new one!

[Looshington]

“There are no purely natural disaster.”

“Well obviously there are some disasters that are completely natural which have seemingly no benefits.”

Okay, thanks for coming out!

Notice how her brain short circuits trying to answer your succinct question at 2:03. Apologetics really is just mental gymnastics.

[gregwasserman]

I studied mass extinctions in grad school and I have to admit that I missed the part about humanity's role in the end-Permian mass extinction...

[johnmurphy]

Once again, a Theist states an "Answer" and then BENDS REALITY to fit that answer.

[tinman]

It really is like saying, that if a person sets someone’s house on fire, that they’re not accountable for murder because the victim failed to get out in time. It’s victim blaming!

[Renegade]

If mental gymnastics was an Olympic sport, Sharon would be a gold medalist.

"I'm not contradicting myself because I can change my explanation if I'm wrong, and the explanation is different for each natural disaster"

[Ironraven]

So. What spiritual failures did the dinosaurs have?

[mjnecochea]

Its physically painful to listen to these kind of arguments.

[grahamblack]

When you ask someone to clarify their position and instead of doing that they become even less articulate and more vague, you know they don't know what they're talking about.

[andyr]

3:17 oh bugger.. my whole thesis just completely collapsed

[ShellacScrubber]

Listening to this woman's responses to Stephen's excellent questions is nauseatingly painful.
It puts me in mind of the last time I opened a container of live fishing bait !!

[TontonPourquoiTuGlousses]

For a moment, I thought she would invoke the 'that's not fair' argument.

[leoskyi]

I'm genuinely worried when I see people who have this mania for harmonizing the horrendous amount of suffering our world experiences with the existing an all-powerful AND all-loving god. It's absolutely jaw-dropping sometimes

[Zentz]

Just the fact that she can sit there and say that no disaster is purely natural, but some are, but the original statement isn't false is all I need to know about this 🤷‍♂️

[janerkenbrack]

Good job, Stephen. I watched your face closely when she mentioned the "spiritual" realm, and you didn't even twitch, much less smile. Oh, and on a side note, you are dis-invited to our poker game.

[HumblyQuestioning]

You know theists are falling apart when they ramble incoherently and deny the contradictions in their worldview (or claim contradictions need to be reinterpreted so that they are not contradictions).

[mikenickolaus]

Woof, those goalposts got shifted quite quickly.
