"Specially trained"
So how does this make him a hypocrite?
The police are allowed to carry guns. If you need protective custody, you can go get it.
Trained personel and not his daughters are holding the guns.
There wasn't really any hate in it at all, was there?
Studies show atheists are distrusted more than rapists. That they are the most disliked group in America. They continue to be insulted and persecuted. It's a perfectly valid thing to state.
They are their enemy, and that is because of what they do and not what they believe. Although their beliefs also say to murder and persecute atheists, so...
Would everyone really be the 'same' person? Wouldn't they just be healthier and happier that they don't have to deal with societal pressures for being worse off? Wouldn't they actually develop into wildly different people anyway because genetics is such a minor factor in how the person ends up?
Marriage is, above all in the modern world, a legal convention, and not a spiritual or religious one. There is no basis for discriminating against a group of people legally for spiritual or religious reasons.
'Micro evolution' is undeniably true, and no one has ever proposed any barrier from 'macro evolution' occurring, and they both use the same processes.
The only difference is time scale, and if you actually look carefully at the statistics, macroevolution, if microevolution is true, must be true on at least some portion of the life on earth, ie, it's just about impossible for there to not have been extremely major genetic changes from the earliest life to the oldest.
Plus, macroevolution being false means that the biodiversity of the earth existed through the entire 3.5 billion years of the history of life, which is absurd. If you think the earth is only 3000 years old, you have a lot of work to explain continental drift, the rich climatological history (and therefore extremely drastic changes that have happened), volcanic events, and the lack of human documentation of a majority of life despite having lived through all of it.
I firmly believe that unicorns don't exist.
Therefore they do.
You, and every Christian, firmly believes that Hinduism, Islam, Atheism are false.
Therefore they are true.
Though, the people who are making their millions today are not the people who did that work, which is his point. Or at least, few of them are, and those people are extremely rare anomalies.
The known rules of the universe and its history, after a long time of research and modeling, appear to be entirely consistent with the universe we see. Adding a God on top of that is not only unjustified but nonsensical.
#2. You don't justify that their belief is not in error.
#4 You just assumed what you were trying to prove (#7). This is the opposite of sound logic.
#5 For the purpose of non circular arguments, you present proofs before using them as statements, or immediately after, and especially not immediately after assuming the thing you are trying to prove.
#6 Invalid, due to lack of justification
#7 See #4, this is redundant, and invalid due to lack of justification.
