So I've had the unfortunate pleasure of talking to /u/Zyracksis on occasion who mods the DebateaChristian subreddit and frequents DebateReligion.
He's one of those special kinds of theists that believe that philosophy alone proves the existence of God and doesn't look at evidence unless couched within a premise. I thought you guys might like to read his argument on the resurrection, it's pretty mind blowing (like a flat tire on hot asphalt...): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KZ-ittyxd73x-VVWHqHyyzST9nAqlzbuPaSjFLGKImc/edit
Anyways the latest foray was him defending the Cosmological Argument, of which he refused to define which CA argument he was making other than there are better 1st premises other than "Whatever begins to exist has a cause". Maybe someone can enlighten me on a better CA argument because every argument I've seen begins with that first premise. I think he ended up ignoring my points about the first premise being flawed and nitpicked my use of the word invalid to describe the first premise.
I never did find a use for philosophy and if this is the kind of people it breeds, I have even less use for it.
