Attack of the Theocrats!
Hi, I am one of the co-presidents of the Freethinkers of PSU, the student organization responsible for putting on this event. Dr Boghossian himself mentioned this in an earlier comment, but I want to reiterate an important point: This lecture is aimed specifically at faith-based organizations and individuals who hold faith in high regard. The material presented in this lecture is generally nothing new to those of us in the secular community, but it is not quite directed at us as it is for other people.
Personally, I thought Dr Boghossian's presentation almost could not have been better. The thesis was simple, straight forward and concise, and Boghossian's delivery was about as easy to follow as could be.
Also, please be respectful of the introductory speakers. Both of those people are personal fiends of mine and have done a LOT of great work, much more than is evident from this video alone.
