What Do You Think of Presuppositionalism?
#1
What Do You Think of Presuppositionalism?
So, I had a whole, large post laid out intending to refute presuppositional apologetics on its most critical levels (foundational attack, epistemological and methodological problems, confusions on logic, etc.) - and I still have it saved as a draft - but I thought of a more interesting question, which is particularly aimed at the theists here:

What do you think of Presuppositional Apologetics?

If you've never seen it before, here's a video wherein a guy I'm subbed to on YouTube engages some presuppers:




In particular, does it turn you off? The common thread among presuppers is to cut you at every conceivable instance, be epistemologically hypocritical (you can't discuss the Bible - which we regard as part of our epistemology - but we can, you can't justify why contradictions aren't allowed in your worldview, etc), and do an insane amount of projection. I mean seriously, even the video I linked above was a tame example of your typical presuppositionalist (just search for Sye Ten Bruggencate).

But that's my take, what're yours?
