[@thomastucker5686]

Dinesh is a very dishonest con artist, selling the god idea for money. He also sells conservatism. He doesn't make any sound arguments, making the god idea seem, any more possible. He makes himself look like he doesn't believe the nonsense but knows stupid humans pay for such bias support. Humans need to gather to reassure each other they are not crazy for pretending magic is real. I have been there on Sundays and it feels like being in a mental hospital. It made me sick as a child to be around these people. Then they try to indoctrinate you. As a child, I knew they had ill will and would jump at the chance to force the crazy god idea on me. They tried. I would just tell my mom, those people are crazy.

@@grantbaker371I agree with Matt on many points but we all know a person can’t be right about everything. Matt is dating a trans woman and is “all in” with the ideology. He’s so entrenched that he can’t accept a biological man (with a penis) shouldn’t be getting changed next to 6 year old girl in the changing rooms. Maybe if he had a daughter he’d feel differently? Another point I disagree with is biological men who transition going in to women’s sports, specifically contact sports.

@@kellymichelley In practice, it most certainly is religious. People who don't drag God into the abortion question can much more readily reach compromise. Religious sorts will also be much more likely to require things like "this 9 year old must carry the baby to term" or "rape notwithstanding, she must carry the baby to term." We have a _long_ history of just about everyone rejecting that kind of extremism. It's why even very conservative places like Kansas aren't reliably for blanket bans. It is the religious right-to-life folks, who believe God mandates these horrors, that creates arguments that could otherwise be dispensed with relatively easily. They also are very, very suspicious of exceptions and work hard to make them almost impossible in practice. As we saw in Ireland with their ban, now voted out. As we are seeing today in places like Texas where women carry clearly dead fetuses, but with heartbeats and aren't quite septic enough to intervene. We wait until they are at death's door -- or maybe beyond -- thanks to the religious sorts who want to make very sure that the "baby" is given every chance to make it -- even when every doctor in the land would say it is time to operate.

The three "big questions" raised in this debate are easily "answerable": *Question 1: Where did the universe come from?* Answer: We don't know and we don't know if that question is even knowable. We do not have enough knowledge or evidence to construct more than hypotheses. _But science and reasonable people are open to new information that may change this answer._ *Question 2: Why are we here and what is our purpose?* Answer: We have no reason to think that there is a "why" to our existence, only a "how". We have no reason to think there is an overarching "purpose" to human lives except to survive and reproduce. _But science and reasonable people are open to new information that may change this answer._ *Question 3: What happens after we die?* Answer: The current understanding is that consciousness depends entirely on a living body and brain, so when you die, your body and brain cease to operate and can no longer generate your consciousness. There is no evidence that a mind can exist outside of the mechanism that creates it. You might as well ask "Where does the speed go when a car breaks down?". _But science and reasonable people are open to new information that may change this answer._ To describe the human state as being "in a certain kind of blind ignorance" is incorrect. We are not blind, we are searching. We are ignorant about some areas and not about others. Classic apologist tactic: introduce "big question" that "atheists can't answer", insert "god did it" into the gap, fail to produce supporting evidence, repeat endlessly then wonder why atheists are always so angry.

[@joelonsdale]

54:45 D'Souza tries to define "having purpose" and tells a story of a person thinking they are a toad. Thinking you are a toad is not a purpose, it is a state. To further illustrate my point, imagine a person who thinks they are a human: their purpose remains undefined whatever the person identifies as. D'Souza is a weak thinker and a cheap-shot merchant. I'm not defending Dillahunty here either, because he allows himself to be dragged off topic instead of staying on topic and dismantling the analogy and unpacking D'Souza's flawed claim of god-given purpose.

Around 53:00 mark, as a lawyer, I have to correct them both on the 'insanity defense' to a crime--mostly to correct D'Souza. A psychopath, one who is born without empathy or a moral compass that most of possess, can most certainly be convicted and ultimately put to death. The issue here is NOT if the killer has a moral compass--the correct issue is if the killer understands that to kill is wrong (against the law) and the person killed anyhow--delusion or not. Here's an example in which a person is facing trial for killing children by driving through a playground: A) the person suffers a delusion causing the person to believe the children were evil and that killing them was a necessary act to save humanity; or B) the person suffers a delusion causing the person to believe that their car can fly and that the car simply flew over the children without causing them any harm. In A, the person is aware that killing is unlawful and wrong, the person just believed the killings were justified (i.e. there was intent to kill). In B, the person lacks intent to kill, did not mean to kill, and did not understand their actions caused to children to die. Person A can be found guilty and Person B would likely have a successful insanity defense. Of course, the law is a nuanced animal and this is just a generalization. But this hypothetical provides a good jumping off point to understand how the defense actually works.

@djublonskopf one of the main tenants of science is to isolate variables. No one doubts climate change. It is the cause of said climate change and the science behind it that has always been in question. Liberals like to name things in such a way that it seems ludicrous to deny. When in fact the names they give things is usually in complete contradiction to what their agendas are. Their arguments are always a misrepresentation of the other sides argument.

If anyone needs the definitive response to deniers that humans are the cause of global warming the only thing you need to make reference to are carbon isotope ratios. We can see from ice cores that the ratios of carbon isotopes in the atmosphere has changed over time. From those ratios we can determine that the bulk of carbon currently in the atmosphere must meet the following criteria; - It must derive from organic matter - It must be old because there are undetectable levels of radioactive carbon 14 which has a half life of around 5700 years - It needs to be a reservoir of significant magnitude that is bigger than anything in at least the last million years The only source of carbon that fits this criteria are fossil fuels.

If a child of mine, for example, began smoking, I would likely address them about it, again, first accepting that this could workout how I want it to or it could go the exact opposite (and of course, it could end in some unforeseen way). While many factors determine "how much" it's "not my business" (opinions would vary), I would have to choose what, when, and how to do what i was going to do at the time I became aware of the smoking. All this to say, I get why people don't like the phrase, but I also understand why people say it. Plenty of people try to control the lives of others, even if it doesn't impact them/conflict with their morals (I mean global), and often times it doesn't fix/help/solve anything, and it just creates more misery due to ignorance/selfishness/etc.

Anorexia being affirmed as legitimate and needing to help these troubled people lose more weight would be dangerous guidance, just as affirming anyone's belief they are the opposite sex and taking steps to change it is.

I’d like to see Dinesh D’Souza play Serena Williams in tennis and then tell me that gender matters when it comes to sports.

[@richardf2652]

At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, Serena Williams would need to play against the top male player of her time to test this idea - don't think Dinesh is in the top 100?

Karsten Braasch, ranked 203rd, beat both Serena and Venus back to back at the 1998 Australian Open.

Matt loses all his credibility when he says things like "trans women are women"

[@scottb4389]

Get em, Matt...

[@poerava]

Dinesh has a tenuous relationship with the truth

[@levacarvalho]

Matt throws everything away when he says things like "gender is a social construct".

Gore said, "CLIMATE CRISIS," not "climate change." Morons!

[@bootskanchelsis3337]

and why is there a crisis? .... 'change'. .

@@bootskanchelsis3337 As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun’s heat. This leads to global warming and climate change. The world is now warming faster than at any point in recorded history. Generating electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas causes a large chunk of global emissions. Most electricity is still produced from fossil fuels; only about a quarter comes from wind, solar, and other renewable sources.

I don't think we were flung into the universe. We are a features of the universe. We don't enter the universe. We don't leave the universe.
