Jim Spiegel, Whom I Previously Debated, Just Got Fired for "Little Hitler"

0 comments
Professor Jim Spiegel just got fired from Taylor University for this song, titled "Little Hitler." I debated him last year. He believes nonbelievers don't accept his sect-specific Christianity because we're sinners who reject his god. I didn't know how depraved he thinks we all are, until this video. What a lunatic he is! Here's a news feed on it.

"Is Religious Faith Reasonable?" The Spiegel vs Loftus Debate, 4/19/18

0 comments
The following three videos (two for now) are of my recent debate with Dr. Jim Spiegel on the question, "Is Religious Faith Reasonable?"

As you watch us debate perhaps you'd like to read a newspaper write-up about it, HERE. Or, you might want to skip my opening statement to read it, HERE. I prepared more than I could say, so I'm sharing a few extras, HERE.

Two videos are below. The first one is from the Brookville Road Community Church near Indianapolis, on April 18th. The second one is from the Free-Thought Fort Wayne group on April 19th. The sound quality is lacking on this one, but I did much better. After the first debate my wife prompted me to answer Jim point for point, so I did.



Newspaper write-up of my debate with Jim Spiegel

Here's a newspaper write-up of my debate with Jim Spiegel near Indianapolis. The church seemed fairly full, probably 400 people. A lot of young people were there. LINK.

The article mentions my vehicle broke down on my way to the church, and that Jim picked me up on his way. Yes, my van, the one pictured resting on the beach of Lake Mead when Sheila and I were there a few months back. I began my comments by saying God tried to stop me from coming tonight but the devil won ;-)

It threw a rod and needs another engine. Damn. I hate that. It's sitting at a mechanics shop waiting for another one to replace it. The mechanic found one that has 120,000 miles on it for $550, and the labor costs are $850. If you've been helped by what I do please consider helping me out on this. The one thing that has plagued me for years is money; not enough of it. Use "PayPal.Me/jwloftus" at PayPal. Please help.

Send 1 million dollars. I'll take less. ;-)

As you can see from the news article it was a civil debate between us. When dealing with respectful people who have some good arguments (as far can be expected anyway) I am friendly and respectful, especially in person. I may not always be that way online, since some people personally attack me and/or repeatedly spout off idiocies as facts.

A video of the debate is forthcoming so be patient.
