Haha what I love more than her comment, is their complete failure at any sort of rebuttal.
"Ouch! ouch... ouch!" doesn't constitute a good defence of a belief ;)

Can't say I agree with that being a win. Not because it's against by own beliefs, but anybody who harbors such a aggressive and close minded opinion seems morally conceited to me.
In the same way that an evangelist of whatever (religious or not) may get characterised as 'fail', to me it's the same.

Maybe it was the morning debate with our cold calling Jehovah friends still bubbling inside, but felt compelled to comment. I'll >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to the religion thread now.

Hahahaha! It was epic - I was so out of it I barely knew what was happening for the first 5 minutes though. Absolutely quality end to an unbelievably gruelling day ;D

Sort of agree with you. The way I see it though is, not so much that she's calling others idiots for certain beliefs (possibly) but that she would consider herself an idiot if she did. In the context of the program though, what she said is pretty tame compared to some of the patronising speeches some guests come out with

Also it is win when such a controversial comment leaves tv presenters speechless with the need to apologies.

I can see him. On a train. Or a tram...

He lives off this kind of fake controversy, spitting out some half arsed inflammatory bigotry to sell his next book. His audience love to feel that everyone else is PC mad, and reacting to him as if it's controversial just fuels it.

Christmas is round the corner and he probably has a book and a couple of dvds out, like "Driving super-cars with Jeremy Clarkson. Fast."

I would marry her for that last comment alone

really? I think she was doing great until the word idiot. Just being calm and rational is usually plenty enough when arguing with religious fanatics

Maybe not epic but pretty good

It's obviously very easy to run rings (she's almost eristic in her approach) around people with naïve beliefs like 'heaven exists', even if they don't mean it as literally as they say it.

However, it's not as easy as saying things like 'faith is believing things without any evidence'. Yes, there are a lot of people who profess religious beliefs who in actual fact have just gone down that route--whether from ideas inculcated in childhood or some other way--, but the fact is that people have, and have always had, genuine religious experiences which defy explanation by anything other than faith.

Experiences like that don't mean that from then on faith is set in stone and invariable. In fact, I think it's good (and often-repeated) advice not to trust people who are absolutely certain of their 'religious' beliefs. As is documented in a vast amount of theological literature, faith is often uncertain and often a struggle, with crises of faith very common.

I personally don't find 'debates' about 'religion' between people with apparently very confident and entrenched positions very interesting. My gut instinct would be to think that they're probably both wrong about something.
