Don's Rant turned into a primer and tutorial about how to debate a charismatic christian apologist. Having listened to a debate between an Atheist and an Apologist on the topic "Is it rational to believe in god". However quickly the Apologist changed the question to "What is a rational belief" and then it became "Can a rational person believe in god?" So, this weeks show is what are the arguments for and against god, but more importantly how do you debate rhetoric instead of facts. Find out more: Debate – Is Belief in God Irrational?
