Street Epistemology
October 20, 2018 at 6:45 pm
Has anyone seen this YouTube channel? It’s called “Street Epistemology”. I quite like it so far, so I thought I’d share! Let me know what you think.

Too cerebral. This is more my speed.
Talk about your valid justifiable street belief.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I found these about a year or so ago, generally I really enjoy them, I'm fascinated by many of the answers (and questions).
When I was a theist and I got asked questions it was almost always in a religious setting like a church or rally I'm not sure how I would have got along just asked to justify my faith as I was walking around while doing my daily business or leisure. I admire people who are willing to openly chat about what they believe so openly.
Sometimes I feel the question's asked are a little unfair given the small amount of time they have to formulate an answer.
I might give this a try myself it would be great fun, though finding someone living their faith in any recognisable sense is much harder in the U.K.
What do you feel about them ?

Anthony Magnabosco is amazing. I don't have 1/10th his patience.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Distinguishing true faith from deceiving hope, is not an easy task.
In Islam faith is to be built on proofs and signs from God, not on wishful thinking!
Thanks for the video and link to channel, I enjoyed it!

Notice that he always lies to them in the beginning?
Edit: Egads, how can you even listen to that?

...I believe because it's in the book, and the book tells me to have faith, and I know the book is true because I have faith...
<sigh> Circular reasoning is alive and well.
