Oh...wait...nope. My mistake, he didn't.

This might be popular on Fecesbook but youtubers aren't loving it. Check out the comment section.

edited to add: Looks like the whole thing never happened. See updates in comments below.

1. Wow. It's usually 'DON'T read the comments!" at You Tube

but this is different. Pastor Liar is not getting any love there, at all.

He's certainly a legend in his own mind, at any rate.

3. ***Update***: Looks like Barrett or his church deleted the video.

From Patheos

***Update***: As far as I can tell, there’s only one university in Cambridge (where Barrett says this debate took place) with an atheist group. They say this never happened:

6. Well, unless he's been to the US recently

Both Harvard and MIT are in Cambridge, Mass.

But yeah, he's a big fat liar. Even a newly minted teenaged atheist would know better than to let that bit of sophistry stand.

10. "We've never heard of him."

Ha! Those lying atheistic vermin.

Oh those atheistics!

They're just embarrassed because they got owned! Right?


Right?

2. wow - suddenly there is so much more i can believe in

not only an idiot but seems to be a real asshole.

4. I now believe in unicorns...

thank jeebus.

5. And apparently that "bearing false witness" stuff doesn't apply to him.

He (or his church) pulled the video from Facebook and he's already changing the story.

7. It didn't take 2 minutes to figure out the whole thing never happened

8. Exactly the same argument can be made to say that God doesn't exist.

- How much do you know?
- About this much.
- And you believe in God?
- Yes.
- And you don't know this stuff over there?
- No.
- So isn't it possible that all that knowledge you don't know says that God doesn't exist?

9. Depends on what you consider knowledge

This guy obviously considers the concept of God, or God itself to be knowledge.
A belief, or a theory does not constitute knowledge in my simple mind. At least not until it can be proven.

And chances of that are...well, pretty much nil, zero.

11. I can defeat his argument in two words!

Russell's Teapot.

12. Just another

lying Christian.

[mountain grammy]

13. And that's it folks, I defeated the athiests

now send me money..
