He may get the crowd worked up, but only because of cheap shots, appeals to authority, and attempts to ridicule the position of his opponent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-27523333326186033102009-05-18T08:44:00.000-04:002009-05-18T08:44:00.000-04:00J Wood, no institutions have been contacted althou...J Wood, no institutions have been contacted although one important skeptic has talked about it, we'll see. That's a good route to take but I first want Craig to say he'll debate me. Dinesh D'Souza said he would debate me but no institutions have been contacted about this. I'm hoping someone does. A panel also sounds like a good idea. We'll see.<br /><br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-48473635771538474072009-05-17T22:50:00.000-04:002009-05-17T22:50:00.000-04:00So John, two questions:

Is Craig known for turning down debates? (I'm new to your boards, so if that's been done, I apologize.)<br /><br />2.) In lieu of an actual debate, is there any possibility of getting on a panel that he's also on, kind of like Hitchens on the panel at the Christian Book Expo in Texas?Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217817004312113348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-61651612511370925412009-05-17T01:59:00.000-04:002009-05-17T01:59:00.000-04:00John,

Who gives a crap what happened in other debates?<br /><br />In 2000 more years, Christianity will be as popular as Isis worship, but in the meantime we need a constant supply of rational, clear-thinking people (such as yourself) to debate them and let them know we'll never give up.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />JimJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562922818694517439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-28701425385292463862009-05-16T10:39:00.000-04:002009-05-16T10:39:00.000-04:00I have listened to several of WLS's debates on...I have listened to several of WLS's debates online & while I thouyght some of his opponents were a little weak C himself struck me as a pompous twit whose arguments were so sophomoric any reasonably bright HS grad could have seen through them.

You are not always that easy to follow but I am becoming a fan. A Craig/Loftus debate - Great. <br /><br />Nice hat by the way.DavidCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567694912132966263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-25042786798809925362009-05-15T15:40:00.000-04:002009-05-15T15:40:00.000-04:00People have commented that I am arrogant because I...People have commented that I am arrogant because I post these types of comments from time to time. I have three responses to them. First off who cares? I don't. What difference is it if I am? Many arrogant people have made a difference in the world precisely because they were arrogant. Think Nietzsche, Marx, Sartre. Eating humble pie might make people like you but who cares if they do? They still must deal with my arguments.<br /><br />Secondly, simple distinctions are in order here. I merely link to what other people are saying. I didn't say these types of things. I don't even think they are true, since the four horsemen have done much more than I'll probably ever do to promote atheism (although yes, I would like to be better known than they are--so what if I do?).<br /><br />Lastly, there is a tough distinction one has to make if s/he claims a person is arrogant. It's a tougher accusation to make than one thinks it is, for what one perceives as arrogance may not be arrogance at all. It may because of the lack of self-esteem that one touts any meager successes or compliments in life s/he may receive. I'm just excited, very excited, to hear what other people say about my work, since I have many doubts that I am what they say I am.<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />I do not want a discussion of me personally here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
