Sorry, but watching three hours of Christian circle-jerking isn't 'worth every minute of my time'.

Thanks Nestor.

I really like hearing Christian philosophers. In some sense, I respect them because they are trying to support a philosophically difficult position.

Nah, probably not your time. There are some good cat videos out there I'm sure. Though, it is funny that you should mention "circle-jerking" because questions such as "Can a shape exist of which no object has or will partake of its form?" have never been limited to believers.

Now now, don't be harsh.  The "You're Christian, so you're dumb, and I can't hear you.  La la la la la I can't hear you" argument is among the best philosophical positions ever.

To be honest, I found Craig's discussion of John, Christianity and Platonism very fascinating.

Why are people coming to this thread and trashing the content, without actually listening to the content? Would I come to your cat-video threads, refuse to watch any of the cat videos, and then say, "Cats are fucking useless. I'd never waste my time watching cat videos"? No, I wouldn't. Because due to my strong belief in the uselessness of cats and my total disinterest in watching videos about them, I'd realize that I had nothing useful to contribute to that thread, and I'd have the sense to walk away without saying anything.

@Mudhammam
Good luck with this thread. I think we can all see where it's going.

Didn't you mean "any" minute?

But I thought it's only the religious who bask in their own ignorance and closed mindedness? Wink
