Darth Dawkins having "rare" moments of weakness

Darth Dawkins having "rare" moments of weakness
I saw a thread before about how to "defeat" Darth Dawkins in a debate. Well, here's a hint: try to get him to do formal logic!

Enjoy:











Darth Dawkins is a flawed human after all!

ETA: TBF, though, he's not entirely wrong in saying such an argument does not have to be fallacious. I think the primary issue is that the argument could've been worded heaps better so that it didn't have the form of the "affirming the consequent" fallacy. For example, flip P and Q and you'll get something valid at least (or appears to be valid at first glance). And maybe reword the manifestation expression (in both premises) so that begging the question is clearly not occurring.

First I've heard of Darth, now..... hopefully it will be the last.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

RE: Darth Dawkins having "rare" moments of weakness
I only watched 6 min of the first video.
What's the point? I don't get it.

Step 1. He seems to be saying that if a god exists, therefore he will give evidence that he exists.
Step 2. God gives evidence
Step 3. Step 3 is the concluding step and he says therefore, god exists.

That is not circular. It's how basic logic works with just about any piece of evidence.
The thing is that it is possible that the god never gives evidence and also you want to call some guy a god for some reason.

I've heard this guy debate several times. He is the worst of the worst.

His brand presuppositionalism is so flawed, it is hard to listen to. I'm afraid I'll give myself a concussion from all the forehead slaps.

Couple that, with his incredible arrogance, his hypocrisy, and ridiculous amount of anger, and you have the making of one hell of a nasty, sour human being. I can't imagine he is a happy guy.

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.
