This debate would only be good if it was Bill the AAA vs JC Jr

Oh yes.     We'd need 4 hours though.

[ManiacMatt]

Need to study your history a bit more. There were a lot more founding fathers that were Christians.

Educate me.  Name three well known founders that were definitely Christian.

[Kolchak]

We also have a population issue. People who can't survive need to die out and make the species stronger. It is the way of nature. A herd of deer don't stop to help the one that's been bitten by a wolf, they leave the weak to it's fate and the herd is therefore stronger. The wolf that starves because he's at the bottom of the pecking order and didnt get enough to eat dies and the pack is made stronger.

You are more rational than a deer. Try and rise above.

True but they are dead white males and thusly deserve being eliminated, or better yet, derided in the new history.

[Northern Nights]

yep, that's why these debates suck.

You could also say that's what makes them entertaining as hell.

[coaster]

I've heard this argument before, even with the house bs. I believe it was actually on arts show in the past.

[WanagoBleu]

amen....see what I did there?

😁 I hug you!

[RoseGirl]

that's known as the 'pocket watch' theory. Well known in philosophic studies.

[Johnny from PA]

For some men...for others it's sex...others sports...drugs...TV...

Many idols...ONE God.

[ZomZom]

I'd honestly rather hear a debate on Star Wars vs. Star Trek.

+1

[WhiteCrow]

While geez Art, if want a good debate, bring on experts from each side that know the subject matter.

[henge0stone]

Matt is very manipulative and just tries to polarize every argument. Dat's my take.

Well that but if any of the theists had made a valid point or knew how to debate at all it might have been interesting. This Polish guy had the best point of view.

Tonight's show started off so well.

SAVE US BRAAP MAN

[Sean92008]

My cat says "meow" but he really means "ruff."  "Ruff" translated to English roughly comes out as "feed me damnit, scratch me and, here, smell my butt!"

[Herbn-Legend]

What makes me more rational than a deer? Humans are not really different than animals

Just a variation on the clockmaker idea. Makes the mistake of assuming anything that exists was engineered for a purpose the way we design machines and other items. Doesn't really follow.

[Weirdoradio]

Finally.
My Xmas dream come true.
A 9/11 call.
Even if it's from Poland... It's still a 9/11 call.

[zeebo]

God has an average long-term inflation rate of about 3%.

[henge0stone]

fuckin 9.11 truthers, get outta here

[QuantumMystics]

Yep. Some great points.

You don't get judged by others, when you die, you study yourself and those you had a major impact on, no one sits in judgement of you except maybe the other people you had relationships with or didn't and how you behaved maybe your own judgement as you will see it as others might have seen it. And you judge yourself...so don't do anything you hate to have to dwell on, if you don't like it and don't want to deal with it then don't do it.

[trostol]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[Zenman]

I'm waiting though it probably won't happen for a real "satanist, Crowley, Christian sect, Hindoo, racists, ISIS, or "whatever" guest, or caller, to go full-bore: why on the extremes of "do what tho whilst" or "breaking taboos for tantric purity" or "pure bloodlines" or whatever etc? Crazy guests seems to stop at a certain point? Logically, things like murder, spells to kill others, rape, pedophilia, race wars, global annihilation, etc etc should be acceptable? Where are the witches, or whatever, don't go full on to the doctrine in the logical limits? Heck, even some constant war neo-con "telling his theory as it is..."

Good point. They're probably all out busy creating mayhem and such. No time to call in.

oh come on...star wars all the way...lightsabers > phasers

[Sean92008]

This "designer" argument leads me to think of the structures on the BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPP!

Love RCH.  Will listen and lay off the boards.

Night all!


PS.  My penis is perfectly shaped too for a hand.  If there is a god, why isn't there a woman holding it NOW!?!?!?!?!?

This guy's southern accent is fake.

You are talking like an nde'r, have you had the experience? <<don't answer if too personal.
