Watching FairMormon DCP presentation

[_DoubtingThomas]

In the first minutes Peterson acknowledges that doubting and former members go through a lot of pain, suffering, and even depression. Peterson told a story of a student that killed himself.

DP says religion makes you healthier, but gives no evidence that Christians are healthier than Atheists http://psycnet.apa.org/record/2015-14529-001

DP "there is no evidence that believers spend so much time preparing for the next life... that they miss the entire experience of this one"

Bull****! I wasted many years being a good Mormon instead of having fun. No sex before marriage can be Hell.

His weight seems to be down. That's good.

His weight is down?? His panniculus is hanging over his belt. Fegh.

Also, what's the deal with his public speaking? He's total crap at it. All he does is bang out an essay, and then he “F” ing reads it. There's no engagement. This is public speaking 101, to, you know, address the audience and only occasionally look at your notes. It's just the oddest thing...

How did this guy pull an Elder Holland and get the LDS corporation to give him money for 30+ years?

DP just replied to a comment of unrelated to the topic: "it seems as if the hellish years you claim to have spent without premarital sex have had a very deleterious effect on you."

I don't know if his "the attractions are obvious" line was intended to elicit the audience chuckle that it did, but I felt this "joke" being made on the heels of the suicide story was... odd.

Apologists have gotten into the dubious habit of imagining that their mere claim is the evidence they seek. All they have to so is say something and viola! There's the evidence.
