    It’s year 2024 the population of planet earth is dominated by faith based beliefs in primitive mythologies and cults. What happened? How is this nightmare scenario even remotely possible among ‘intelligent’ civilizations?
    Thank you, Mike, for your clarity of thought and for provoking doubt where necessary by applying your exceptional critical thinking skills and unbelievable patience to shine some light into the heart of darkness.
    Your contribution has been missed, and is greatly appreciated. Welcome back.

      What do you believe happened for us to think, live, feel, visualize, etc.? you REALLY believe that God isn’t real? All the uncertainties and questions not answered are all just from the Big Bang? EVERYTHING that we have is on Earth. Mike is only debating with people who have no sense of thought, empathy, open mindedness or actual beliefs. They are literally just drones so stop being close minded and think about life, the universe, the laws of the universe, creation, destruction, and faith.

      Simultaneously we have people like Sapolsky with exceptional rationality writing books debunking free will. It's just insane how many God simps there are. Still. Coexisting with rationality. Hopefully the seven mountain shit doesn't come to pass. Countries with lower cost tuition free or completely free education have higher rates of atheism, less religiosity. America really needs education reform, not that it will solve everything but it'll at least help. I'm pessimistic though because functional illiterates are graduating high school.

      Have you read the Bible? you don’t even have to read it to know that it is about God and grants you information about God. Mike is comparing God to greek mythology like it makes sense. As said by his debator, there are so many accounts of Jesus the prophet and God literally all throughout the world and there are cross references everywhere. And Mike says that the accounts aren’t good evidence bc it talks about the same thing; Now tell me, how does that make sense? The Bible is the only first hand account of God. And please help me understand why prophets came together to write a fake book about a God to spread misinformation among themselves? just stop trying to defend him like he is right, he’s not. He is a close minded individual that does not have to open mindedness to realize that maybe the evidence for God is true. Either way, why is he arguing with people who have faith? He doesn’t argue with any catholics or muslims or buddhists, so how can he say God isn’t real when he barely knows anything?

    You start with an assertion, and then shift the burden of proof from yourself to an opponent. It is your duty to furnish the logics behind your assertion not the other way around…
    Don’t be intellectually dishonest, it’s a bad look.
    3:33 You are making a mistake that Dawkins himself wouldn’t. You are trying to force a scientific framework to test hypothesis against for a philosophical problem…
    If you’re going to debate people, make sure you do it in good faith. You’re making the Athiest community look intellectually inept here with your very juvenile understanding of the concepts you are trying to bulldoze through.
    You aren’t ready for a real debate which is painfully obvious within the first 5 minutes, and perhaps that’s why you pick on random kids from the internet.. This kind of debate format only works as a source for entertainment rather than actual intellectual discourse with challenging ideas.. although I suspect you have set it up this way on purpose.

    Asking for a definition is not the same as asking what something is and visa versa.
    For example, i can ask you to define what “hit” is, You then would use a dictionary.
    Now if i asked you “what is hit”, you then would have to go outside the diction to describe the concept.

      ​@@mikebrigandi_you don't understand that faith is unavoidable in all contexts, not just with God. You have faith that the most fundamental aspects of physics are reliable and stable to do science. There is no logical way of assuring this to be the case, you just assume it. Induction is not logical; it is faith-based. You also don't understand how to do meta-analysis. When you do science or philosophy, you don't just look at everything on the pragmatic surface level to see if it is valid. The validity of an endeavor or phenomenon is rooted in its coherence, not in it's tangibility. Just because you can't touch or sense something doesnt mean it doesn't exist.
      Also, as usual your argument for morality holds no water since it is subjective. No such thing as morality if it could just be made up. If it's made up then it could be ignored at the same time.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@davefrage125Wrong, faith only pertains to religion and spiritual matters.
      Faith doesnt exist in science, because not only do scientist believe nothing is 100% certain, but they are open to changing their positions as new data arises in the fountain of human knowledge. Their positions can also be demonstrated with facts, evidence, logic and reason.
      Theist dont change. They stay static in their belief. They dont have facts, evidence, logic or reason when it pertains to their god or supernatural concepts.
      Tell me, how do you get out of the tangible? Demonstrate something that is beyond the physical?
      As for morality, its foundations are completely subject to a contract between three or more entities, that create enforceable objective laws or rules between them.
      Your god concept doesn’t get you out of a subjective foundation and even further it cant even get you to enforceable objective rules or laws. No god has ever enforced their commandments, dogmas, rules, codes, or laws. Its always been humans pretending a god is guiding their actions.
      Youre just OBJECTIVELY wrong on every point you brought up. Nice try though, but theist can never muster up logic, reason, evidence or facts to back their claims on these topics. 😁😉😘
