I like how Christians have to memorize arguments, instead of y'know, actively thinking about the subject and whether it stands up to reality.

Beautiful winter-ish morning in Poland here. Great to hear you on a walk with my dog :)

Paul´s stream has the chillest vibe in all the multiverse, even if he talks about denser topics

[MrArdytube]

Apologetics always winds up being a rhetorical shell game. 😊

45:30 He forgot the last step which is to accuse the opponent of being unreasonable or dishonest for objecting to any of your premises.

Jenny’s voice would have me dropping out first day of class.

Eric Hernandez's fallacies are not really composition fallacies, but scope and equivocation fallacy. The word "heavy" is used to mean "important" when talking about heavy thoughts, then switches to "heavy" meaning "high In weight". That is equivocation. When saying the brain is 7 inches long, but a thought is not 7 inches long: He is using a scope fallacy. The brain being 7 inches long is in the scope of physical measurement, while a thought is in the scope of events and processes.

I've never encountered a Christian used-god salesman who wasn't, on some level, gratuitously dishonest. If you have God's truth on your side, not only should you not lie from a moral standpoint, you shouldn't bloody well have to lie, even a bit.

I love me a fresh @Paulogia in the morning ❤ Rainy 21 deg C in Sydney, Australia on the way to work

Maybe that’s William Lane Craigs real conversion story.
Someone handed him a list of 5 arguments for the existence of God and he was so impressed that he immediately gave his life to Christ.

[jeremysmetana]

We don't "owe" the Bible anything. That's the height of arrogance and privilege right there.

[DarthCalculus]

I'm listening on a Sunday morning, distracting myself from my weekend side job cleaning an office.

🤣👏🍻
And you JUST mentioned getting your "for the bible tells me so" glass ready, and her first point was literally "For the bible tells me so!"
😮🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I love that the ad preceding the video is for the Exalted 23 gospel tour to South Africa. God, and YouTube algorythms, move in mysterious ways.

[jharder]

Have a list memorized. Don't think for yourself or critically. Don't have a genuine conversation with a fellow human being and listen to who they are and what they might actually need in their life (including just being left alone) And don't worry the list is in this book i wrote, it's only...

God can never be the best possible explanation, until we can observe it as a candidate explanation.

[TheDrtachyon]

Love your stuff, watch it all. but the volume shifts on this one are rough.

*"The atheist should agree that non-physical things don't exist"*

There's a bigger problem than what Paul initially says, and that is that "physical/material" are not robust terms, and they have no definable boundary.

If souls are real and they are radically and fundamentally different than anything we've encountered, they are still made of _something._ Once they are demonstrated and understood, the characteristics of that something will then be added to our models of reality and "soul stuff" will in turn become a newly understood way for something to be physical.

Until apologists offer clear definitions that would allow for an instantiated something to still be "non-physical" even after it has been shown to have independent existence, then this is all useless hand waving.

Paul, in case no one has mentioned it yet: the music in the Starting Soon screen is an absolute ear worm!

[Apanblod]

I think distinguishing between 'natural' and 'super/non-natural', given how the terms are usually defined, is completely unjustified to begin with. I'd rather just single out the things that exist in reality from things that don't and leave it at that.
