Dillahunty pwns logical fallacies.

I didn't watch atheist experience for quite a while so I watched episodes I missed. I laughed at this one.
The dude is spamming logical fallacies and does not even recognize them. Dillahunty completely demolishes them with flawless logic.

I also noticed that some of the fallacies even I fell for in the past arguments of mine. I better watch out for those next time.

I think he pinked it out for a charity dealio a while ago. Since I only listen to the audio version, I didn't realize it was still that color. Tongue

Regarding the OP, John from Chicago is an awful, awful debater who has called into numerous shows, never with anything more successful than what's in this video. Often he doesn't even know the definition of what he's talking about, yet his casual arrogance stops him from ever learning a damn thing.

He reminds me of a few theists here, in that respect. Big Grin

I really like TAC, though the long run time makes me less motivated to watch the full shows.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Matt and Tracy from the show are my favorite. Smile

I agree.

There are some pretty strong hosts on the show, but Matt and Tracy are the strongest. Tracy's grasp of logic is just as strong as Matt's.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I'm sure he'd somehow contrive to remain on John's side. Dodgy

In my opinion Matt > Russel > Jen/Martin
