Default Matt Dillahunty

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I think it belongs best here.

In my perusal of anti-apologetic philosophers and rhetoricists, I have encountered a new favourite:

Matt Dillahunty is the president of the Atheist Community of Austin in Texas, and has been the regular host of The Atheist Experience for a few years now. I encountered him by way of this fantastic video which features him in dialogue on his public access TV show with Evangelical nut-case Ray Comfort... Yes. You read that correctly: THE Ray Comfort.



You will soon discover that this is just the tip of the iceberg for a powerfully persuasive and extremely well spoken new voice in the global skeptics community. Everyone absolutely must check out this excellent exchange he has with a presuppositionalist Christian philosopher. I have embedded only the first part, so the reader will want to open the link in Youtube to see the entire exceptionally one-sided discussion.



Dillahunty only just recently started formal debating, but I have been fairly impressed by what I have seen from him so far. I really like this one, which took place at the University of Maryland Baltimore County in November 2010, and features Orthodox Fr. Hans Jacobse on the other side, for the simple fact that I think both presenters are quite good.
