Especially the vids featuring the Ray Comfort type theist feel like a self performed lobotomy, cutting away half of the brain in order to adjust to the presented level of argument.
So I tried a debate between anti-theist Christopher Hitchens and agnostic Robert Wright to find it only slightly more satisfying.
Hitchens and Wright at bloggingsheads.tv
Saw some of it a while back, hated the format of the 'debate'.
I used to quite like Robert Wright until i read a Huffpo interview where he described belief in electrons as no more weird than belief in god, his main argument for this was what he calls the internally contradictory wave-particle duality of electrons... No, they aren't contradictory, we just don't understand why they behave the way they do but we know for certain that they do behave as described, case and point being every single device using semiconductors on the planet - The empirical evidence for God however is entirely absent.
