Should Rationals Give Evidence? RationalResponse Has a Dogma
This is my comment on what is claimed around minute 1:00 of this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ_VQdPa5sc
by RationalResponse.
It's circular logic for me. Paraphrasing, this is how it would sound to me:
"I claim without taking the burden of proving it that any believer in God is delusional in the sense of having a mental disorder, because he believes in things without evidence that they are true, or despite contrary evidence".
It is a fundamental requirement now that RationalResponse provides proof for his claims or otherwise he would be admitting of being equally at fault as any believer, therefore of being delusional himself, therefore of not being reliable as making faithful statements. And his theorem would be automatically disproved. (self-contradiction)
I'm also here to refute the usual misconception that lack of belief in God is an automatic assurance of one's rationality and abidance to a rational empirical method. It is not, as I have verified myself several times in YouTube. It is a case-by-case issue. It is the argument that can be rational or irrational, not the person.

The Four Horsemen #1 Order the DVD
http://www.richarddawkins.net/article,2025,THE-FOUR-HORSEMEN,Discussions-With-Richard-Dawkins-Episode-1-RDFRS
On the 30th of September 2007, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens sat down for a first-of-its-kind, unmoderated 2-hour discussion, convened by RDFRS and filmed by Josh Timonen.
All four authors have recently received a large amount of media attention for their writings against religion - some positive, and some negative. In this conversation the group trades stories of the public's reaction to their recent books, their unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face to world today, and propose new strategies for going forward.

Not responding to questions about tactics much more...
We won't be responding to criticism about our tactics much anymore. Thanks to those who defend and understand what our approach is and why it is a necessary evil... and just one cog in the wheel helping to overcome irrational nonsense. Please continue to defend us especially when you see ignorant or irrational arguments, or better yet... simply link them to this video.
