  • I want to leave a five but….

    They have evocative topics, however the lack of decorum, meanness, and lack of structure is disappointing. It’s like listening to a twitter war vice listening to an actual debate.

  • VOLUME

    Please. Please fix the volume level. I’ll be calmly listening and then BOOM an add starting blasting my eardrums. The volume on these debates is always too low and has ALWAYS been too low. I’ve been listening for years and this has always been a problem. Please. For the love of god, James. Fix this.

  • What has happened here…

    The people this channel platforms, especially in the last year or so, are abysmal. I’m all for hearing all sides of an argument, but the lack of decorum and respect is disgusting. Debates should be civil. Debates should be productive. This is all performance and rage bait. For instance, why let people like Alex Stein, who doesn’t take anything seriously, appear so frequently? It’s never productive. This channel needs to grow up.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

(PART 2) Does God Exist? | @WifiGospel Vs @flyingspaghettiauditor
Q: Can God bring all the people he had horribly deleted into heaven? How would that be immoral?
If God commands the slaughter of innocent beings and then offers them heaven, it raises questions about the morality of such actions, because the means don't justify the ends.
(PART 2) Does God Exist? | @WifiGospel Vs @flyingspaghettiauditor
Q: If a woman gets pregnant and she finds out, and this is a hypothetical, that the baby is black or gay, and because of that sole reason, they want to get an abortion, would that be immoral?
Generally, I don't think it's immoral for someone to want an abortion, as the mother has the right to choose.
DEBATE: Which Religion Portrays Jesus with More Respect, Islam or Christianity? | PODCAST
Q: What does Jesus think of Old Testament genocidal commands?
David argued that such commands are interpreted in various ways and discussed concepts of hyperbole during ancient writing. He emphasized that not all scholars agree on their literal interpretations.
DEBATE: Which Religion Portrays Jesus with More Respect, Islam or Christianity? | PODCAST
Q: What did you say should happen to ex-Muslims, Christians, blasphemers in an Islamic state?
Daniel stated that within Islam, there is capital punishment for those who apostatize from the religion and for those who blaspheme the religion. He justified this punishment within the context of protecting the religion and maintaining its respect. He reiterated that such laws are sustained in many other historical religions as well.
DEBATE | @IronHorse1722 VS @adhd_projects | Flat Earth Vs Globe
Q: How does a hot air balloon work when it doesn't have an engine and it stays hovering above the stationary plane or Earth exactly the same as the helicopter?
Hot air balloons are lighter than the surrounding air, allowing them to rise. Wind can still affect their movement during flight, but the helicopter can hover by actively controlling its lift and thrust against the atmosphere, which is also moving with the Earth.
