From GIFS:
"A gauntlet is thrown down (yawn)
Filed under Religion, Atheism — Sean @ 8:36 pm EST
A fundie blowhard radio hoax — I mean host — named Kevin Harris (doofus in the picture to the right) recently stopped into an older thread and babbled at Marcus and me (I guess we were the only ones following it on the RSS feed). You can read what he said starting here.
He has a completely bass-ackwards idea of the precepts behind burden of proof (I pointed out that he should feel lucky he lives in a society where burden of proof in criminal cases does not fall on the accused, which is exactly what his sense of “logic” would dictate if followed to its conclusion), but besides this glaring problem, he fancies himself an expert debater. He also fancies everyone on this site to be utterly clueless and unable to hold their own in a debate.
He issued a challenge to anyone from GifS — I guess that means all of us — to go onto a site called paltalk.com and participate in a moderated debate with him. I assume this is to give a boost to his ratings or something.
I am not a trained debater or logician, so I am not going to pretend I would be a good choice for this. I also know that most of you are sick of arguing with theists, so I don’t really expect anyone here would want to waste their time with this yo-yo, but a challenge is a challenge, and so here it is:
If this site has talented debaters, then I am challenging them. If there are takers, we can name the topic, terms, and time and I’ll set up the room with fair moderators on
www.paltalk.com.
Note: I’m not sure where these “fair” moderators would come from — and I certainly wouldn’t trust someone who has already illustrated some dishonesty to be the one who picks them. That would have to be a joint effort."

But people at GIFS are fed up of debating fundies. What about you guys? maybe not in that paltalk shitty site but someone should give him a show down...
