Too bad they are gone =/, their debate with the evidence for faith was epic.
Those are the episodes I was looking for when I discovered that Chuck is planning on doing a new podcast. :D I posted them in your "ALKSDJFSTUPIDHOVINDHULKSMASHASLGH" thread.

Lol, it was just sad how hard those guys got schooled! I re-listened to it right after you reminded me they exist.
You have a strange definition of sad. I thought it was pretty righteous. ;D

I mean, I started to feel bad for them. They just stopped talking at a few points, utterly defeated.
Yeah... I definitely felt bad for them. At least while Chuck was stripping their flesh from their bones. When they insisted on bringing up the same. god. damn. points. again. and. again. even though they'd been addressed. Then I stopped feeling bad for them.

I might be thinking of a debate from Reasonable Doubts on free will versus determinism, though. I'll have to relisten to the E4F debatathons.

They debated Reasonable Doubts as well?

Have to give them points for courage. Or sheer, burning stupidity.

Did they? Are those episodes still on itunes?
Did they get crushed as harshly?

I don't think they debated Reasonable Doubts. They debated Evidence 4 Faith.

They did do an episode (or two) where they make fun of every single podcast that gets mentioned in some sort of internet awards. Reasonable Doubts and SGU both get mentioned, iirc. And at the end, they spend a good ten to fifteen minutes being assholes to their own podcast. It was hilarious.

I think they are saying that Evidence 4 Faith debated Reasonable Doubts, though I am not sure...

They did poke fun at Reasonable Doubts during their two part take down of all the religious podcasts out there (both believer and skeptical).

This. Did E4F debate Reasonable Doubts and if they did so, was it a sign of courage, stupidity, being so drunk you wouldn't notice it if your own daughters tried to shag you, or all three?

I have listened to all there podcast and I don't remember hearing one. I would think that ex Mormons and ex JW would be very hard to debate because of their back ground and knowledge in the bible. That is why Dan Barker is good at what he does.

The reasonable doubts guys destroyed some group over free will. It really got embarrassing.

The debate episodes ended up just showing how pointless such debates are. I had little interest in them.

The only interesting antagonistic guest they had was Shirley Phelps-Roper, purely for the insight into how she operates.

Wait, Mrs. Roper is a religious nut? I'd have thought that all those years living next to Jack Tripper would have moderated her stance a little bit.

Are you claiming to be a Phelps Phelps? Or a different flavor of Phelps? Because the only Phelpses I know that are batshit crazy are the God-Hates-Phelps.
