ironhorse Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yesterday I watched and listened to Mr. Eberhard's presentation. As the loyal opposition here, here is a rebuttal of Eberhard's "Why the Arguments for God Fail" "First and foremost, I’d like to take a moment and express my appreciation for J.T., the passion he displays in doing his activist work for atheism, and his strong desire for public discourse on serious issues surrounding the most important question mankind has ever asked: Does God exist? While we certainly disagree on the answer to this question, we stand on common ground in desiring to share our beliefs with others and in encouraging those with whom we agree to equip themselves to evangelize more effectively. J.T. insists that we should “tell people what you think…” in order to “…help them to be better, reasonable people” (6:05). On this, I could not agree more. Speaking to his audience, he says, “We need to be holding them to the reasons they believe these things” (6:24). This, too, is an area of agreement. So, is J.T. in fact reasonable, consistent, and, most importantly, correct? I don’t think so." ~themanonmars http://themanonmars.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/j-t-s-underwhelming-critique-of-christianity-part-one/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthseeker4 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 It amazes me that if there is a god or room for a god that it is the Christian god. For instance, a Christian might say "I don't know why...but God did it". How do you know your holy book adequately describes this "god". just seems rather smug to me.

Roz Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 the feminism thing was an unnecessary commit by me, there was a thread in the OT subforum with a video that included how the phrase 'man up' was sexist. I shouldn't have put it here, that was another thing altogether heh. I only included it because near the end of the clip JT laughed at the 'man up' comment made to fight himself tearing up.

Talk is cheap have god show his face and this won't be an issue anymore. It's funny how manonmars mentions "evidence of God's existence", but cites none... Manonmars does give several reasons to think God exists. From Part Two: One of J.T.’s more self-incriminating refutations centers on the argument from Christians regarding the apparent design of the world. To this argument, J.T. asks rhetorically, “And does the universe look designed?”, to which he answers by saying, “Well, no. The universe creates order all by itself which is exactly the universe we would expect to find ourselves in if there was no God” (15:23). Quite humorously, even the aforementioned atheist Richard Dawkins sees the obvious appearance of design in nature. On page one of his book, The Blind Watchmaker, Dawkins writes, “Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose."

Roz Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Funny how IH uses the same reasoning as muslim apologists. It reverts back to 'IH believes what IH wants to believe' and the muslims believe what they want to believe. But IH will present his version of bible god as fact. Just like the muslims present allah as fact. Just like other christians present their versions of yeshitwa/jesus/allah/yaweh as fact. This is why science is different from religion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
