Summary

The book "A Manual for Creating Atheists" has sparked an entire movement of atheists with a special set of tools which are supposed to help people restore their "sense of wonder". But I'm wondering if this continual misrepresentation of facts and reason is actually brainwashing the very people it purports to help. If you are into "Street Epistemology" then I hope you will watch and consider the following. I've spent many hours interacting with people who use some form of Street Epistemology (Pine Creek, Paulogia, etc.) and I have some things I'd like to share about it. Here's the link for the live stream on Capturing Christianity (Jon, Cam and I talk about our series on 20 arguments against God). https://youtu.be/5HNj7C1mRA4 My video on how faith is not belief without evidence https://youtu.be/SIJORjiOWeI My special guests, in the order they appeared Tim Barnett https://www.youtube.com/user/clearthinking4Christ Jon McCray https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1okSIA8UEY8OqvtjGHFvzA Cameron Bertuzzi https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCux-_Fze30tFuI_5CArwSmg Greg Koukl https://www.youtube.com/user/STRvideos

0:29.3	in the comments section today so this is not meant to be adversarial this is not meant to be adversarial, this is just meant to be
0:34.4	reasoning together. Come let us reason together. That's the goal here. So I hope you
0:38.5	guys can hear me in that tone. That really is I'm not being disingenuous.

0:48.6	I think that this manual is actually hurting Atheist's ability to reason about ultimate questions.
0:55.0	This is kind of a big deal.
0:56.1	Like your ability to reason about ultimate questions, about life, the purpose of life,
1:00.9	God, Christianity, Jesus. Some use it very like sort of
1:05.2	religiously, they follow it very closely, but many also they just borrow
1:08.8	from this book and from the concepts of this book and they it sort trickled down to them but I think that the
1:14.6	pillar issues the big issues that are in this material are the things that have
1:19.8	trickled down I'm not going to just be critiquing this book in every way possible nitpicking every single thing about it.
