[@TwoKnowingRavens]

Dinesh is the softest target for this stuff Matt Dillahunty is a totally intellectually dishonest narrative maestro, he rarely says anything that is substantive towards a goal, he positions himself in the place of the moral arbiter based on convenience and modern ideas of comforts and normalcy. Matt has the luxury of speaking to people who only know a world of refrigerators, cars, and computers. But those things will one day go away for some or all people. Moral constancy by using stories and moral figurehead characters like God and Jesus are what remains when the lights go out.

[@13shadowwolf]

@@TwoKnowingRavens your characterization of Matt is horrifically bad. The Christian god/Jesus characters were taken from the ongoing continuity of humans utilizing hero/villain characters in their storytelling. Over the last few thousand years the "correct" interpretation of what the Bible is "supposed" to say changes with new cultural norms. There is no "objective" morality that can be gleaned from the Bible. Dinesh is actually one of the "best" defenders of Christian morals, it's just that there is no valid defense of Christianity because there is no Method of Determining Correct Biblical Interpretation. Without Roman Imperialism, and then Western Capitalist Imperialism, there wouldn't be a Christianity of today. Without multiple genoc!des against any opposing views, Christianity would have disappeared. They didn't spread because they were "right" they spread because they had technology and the excuse "god is good, therefore whatever I do in god's name is good" You don't have anything to ground your claims.

Saw it a lot in his debate with Alex O'Connor as well, but I don't think I've ever seen someone so bad at this that their entire approach basically boils down to trying to make a "gotcha" statement, getting immediately countered, and then quickly trying to change the statement.

To continue, the first question is entirely physical/natural and has 0 bearing on our organic existence as of today. The proof? Every other lifeform on this planet manages to go about their day without pondering this question. The second and third questions are the example above; man's erroneous over-opinion of his own importance that somehow, just because we can ask a question, it must be meaningful to us.

It makes a claim of sorts that our body isn’t what we are, or that there’s more than one part to our consciousness mechanically speaking. I tend to believe that we are more than just meat, but it doesn’t pre suppose a binary question like Dinesh had asked.

[@bobxbaker]

i think it's an interesting question on what actually happens upon "death" because nobody knows. if it weren't for other people around we wouldn't know when our life began exactly either because we don't remember being born or early stages of childhood but we are alive and assumingly conscious but we have no frame of reference for what actually happened except what others show us or tell us about it later, it's like being black out drunk and not remembering what we did. so maybe that is what is happening when we die? we continue to exist in a consciousness but somehow our body dies? or maybe it's just a nothingness and it's simply fading to black like falling asleep but without a dream. it's just ridiculous to claim something happens based on superstition or otherwise because nobody can truly say for certain.

Two men discussing what a woman can or can't do is pathetic and Dinesh saying a woman would have an abortion for fun or birth control made me feel sick

[@joandempsey4652]

Me too. Even religious ( not spiritual) women think that. It’s very sad and disappointing.

[@Aphanvahrius]

You can't say that it's impossible for a woman to decide to have abortions for fun. There are plenty of psychopaths out there. No one is claiming that it's why most women have abortions. It's an extreme example meant to illustrate the need for some safeguard mechanisms around abortions to make that kind of abuse illegal. Also, you would be surprised how easy it is to get used to abortions as a normal and casual birth control method if the access to them is too liberal. It's a medical procedure that should be carried only in cases where a woman's health or life is at risk.

[@xaviersandoval1765]

That was a sneaky little question Dinesh pulled, when he asked Matt if he could name a supreme court justice who holds a view based on asking a diety and not for philosophical or moral reasons. People's belief in a diety usually IS their moral reasoning philosophical foundation, so the only answer to that question is no, but not for the reasons Dinesh wants it to be a no. But he hopes that by getting Matt to say no he can prove his point. He purposely separated the concept of moral reasoning and philosophy away from people's belief in God to try and catch Matt in a gotcha question and failed.

[@blomeup2day]

There’s no other side of the curtain. Everything we experience and receive knowledge about will only happen in this universe. What test could anyone devise to tell us we left the universe versus still being in the universe? Everything we witness will always be considered part of the universe.

[@Nyghl0]

We really need basic Epistemology to be taught more widely. Why is it such an event for Matt to have to teach this to all the Dineshs out there?

[@gmontezuma6770]

Dinesh is a clear example of Christian dishonesty. He is so slimy with his arguments that it makes me feel embarrassed to admit that I was once a believer.

[@iomis2001]

Saying we don't understand the universe therefore god is not an argument for god.

[@russellmillar7132]

Dinesh's main method is the Gish Gallop. He is three or four fallacies along before a competent interlocutor can slow him down so they can deal with them one at a time. He is gifted in that he can seem convincing. And it does require someone with a familiarity w/ critical thinking, logic, and probability to effectively counter his BS.

I wish there was someone doing debates of this level still these days. Sam vs Bret on Vaccines would have been good.

[@UberNoodle]

One of the hallmarks of a disingenuous "gotcha" obsessed debater is that they leave no room for nuance. There's no space in which there could be a range of understanding or interpretation. There's no degree to which they themselves could be wrong and their interlocutor or opponent being right. Everything has to be in black and white absolutes. "Name a single X" is the kind of phrasing they prefer. It is incredibly frustrating to debate with people like that, because they are very highly practised at that tactic, irrespective of its genuineness and honesty.

[@MasterBee-g5y]

The truth about this statement with De Souza, Yes, I agree with him, we don't know what's the other side of the curtain, in fact, we don't even know if there is an other side of the curtain. We don't know, no one could demonstrate that and no evidence we can provide to prove it.

[@outs78]

Dinesh and Peterson both should stop embarrassing themselves.

[@hrt45j86]

Dinesh saying it’s okay for religious beliefs to influence our politicians and our government decisions when we have separation of church and state

[@Hexon66]

Aww, Dinesh tried a joke. And at Trump's expense. And it flopped. Imagine not being able to put over a Trump joke, the easiest thing in the world to do! Kind of like a "genius" businessman flopping with casino in Atlantic City. It's a special kind of skill.

[@JaiRambo]

This conversation should have been over at :41

[@robertcoane9167]

Everybody ENDS 'on the other side of the curtain' and NOBODY has ever come back. END OF DISCUSSION! Is that clear enough for everyone?

[@willisknapick4405]

What's interesting is Souza's defensiveness. Matt isn't. His defense is rationality and reason. Souza defends the existence of God but can't prove it. He defends the unproven.

[@craigferree]

Fill in the blank with anything in the natural universe and the answer is either, evidence evidence evidence, or i don't know.

[@clintonvoigt]

So the big reason to believe was we and science doesn't know... Therefore god The undiscovered doesn't equal knowing god did it.

[@davidhiestand1608]

The problem for Matt is that purifying the universe of the irrational would mean getting rid of the number pi, which you can’t do.

[@victoriousf.i.g.3311]

Much more evidence for the unicorn. The oryx is a middle eastern antelope that was mistaken for, deliberately or accidentally, a unicorn. No one's ever been like "Whoa, god... no wait, just a falcon"

"What is the reason for believing in god?" "Let me try to answer that." [Embarks upon a torturous appeal to emotion, and I'm immediately not listening]

5:39 "They appeal to this (from your point of view) irrational source..." -- Appealing to an authority that can't even be demonstrated to exist is objectively irrational.

Unicorns understanding quantum physics at its depths? Possessing the ability to envision how to create each of the aminoacyl-trna synthetases from code? Some magnificent unicorn!

Dinesh gets off the subject a lot. He ties things unrelated to the subject.

[@knighttimestorieslv]

Dinesh tried so hard to trap him with, "Oh, you don't understand something & can't explain it, THEREFORE GOD!!!11!!1!!!" Except he doesn't realize that's a trap that stays open on both ends & therefore only catches idiots. And Matt is no idiot.

[@leylandbarr7247]

I think all the gods are fighting with each other because they can’t come up with an end plan after they started all this existence thing. That’s why we’re in such a mess. You have to go back to what or who ( may as well give them a human element that we can relate to) created all the different gods and branch religions. They also created atheists to each of them give an out clause.

[@weldabar]

Asking about how Christians try to legislate their beliefs, it was a weak, almost nonexistent, response @:35. I think that there is just so much, so many countless examples, that it's difficult to step back and numerate. Also, Dinesh's three big questions: I think it could have been answered so much better. This shows the problem with this debate format. Each side can ask questions that would take a while to prepare a response and to give the response. Instead each side tries to find gotcha questions, and the real meat of the issue is never discussed.

Although there are mythical unicorns there are also scientific unicorns. The Indian rhinoceros, also known as the greater one-horned rhinoceros is scientifically called, in Latin: Rhinoceros unicornis. Unicorns are real.
