I mean, l can argue from two points of view. I can examine the logic of the guy's statements, or I can evaluate how much I would care about what he's saying. I tend to cut through the crap by saying, "Why should I care about any of this?" I have yet to receive a response that motivates me. Theists can't seem to tell me why I should care.
If I can wake my brain up, I'll see if I can go through and add commentary today or soon.
Or... I could do a video response? Would you prefer that or text?
Both points of view seems like it would be necessary on parts of what he said. I mean there are parts where I would logically put Hitchens/Occams Razor into effect and apply it to the logic of his statements and then say something like "there is no need to go any further or care if no evidence is supported." But as this is a long reply and wish not to take up your time, if at parts you seem you would like to apply "Why should I care about any of this?" and would make an appropriate skip over.. I have no problem with that and it may seem necessary

A video response would be interesting but nah I 'd say stick to text format as that would be easier to cite any web pages to reinforce our argument, if necessary.
Is there a time limit put in place for the editing of my post, as I would like to make it more appealing and less messy by adding italics to his citations of my quotations? It is not necessary but would like to clean it up a bit and go back and fort whilst I am working.
But listen take all the time you need as you are helping me and and taking up a bit of your time and i feel like I should repay you in some way... the best I can do is be polite. ha
