Well, you're a pleasant fellow. So you're a badass on the internet? I bet that translates well into real life.

Well, it wasn't when he was talking about his exchange with the female scientist who refused to say whether a culture that removed the eyes of every third child (due to religious motivation) was failing to perfectly maximize human well-being. And it wasn't in the next exchange I watched--since it's a pain to go through and look for when Harris appears--where Harris started talking about how the problem of evil meant that God wasn't likely to exist (a bit off-topic, I thought, but then so was Craig).
Is it really that hard for you to give a single time where Harris addresses the Kalaam Cosmological Argument?
...wait.
...it couldn't be that...you haven't actually watched the video yourself...could it? That would make you...an asshole.
Quote:Nice straw man, fuckwit. My argument is that \you have not and cannot provide a shred of evidence to support x -- your silly ass superstitious fucking sky fairy story. And until you trot your fairy-tale-monster god-figure out in front of us in the flesh, you have nothing to refute it.
You use that word a lot, "fuck". Did you just learn it? Is this your first time swearing? Man, I remember those halcyon teenage years, when a colorful expletive flying off the tongue made the day just a bit more magical...
Ahem.
That's a really interesting argument. I'd like to see some support for it, though; how do you know that I "cannot provide a shred of evidence to support" that God exists? I get the rhetorical reason to call it a "fairy-tale-monster god-figure", because you want it to seem fictional, but since God's status as a fictional entity is the very issue under debate, it seems like a cheap rhetorical trick. And we all know that you rationalist-skeptic atheists are characterized by reason and logic, not manipulative appeals to emotion, right?
