He has practically destroyed atheism and tore apart Nietzsche's arguments.

No he hasn't.

>>and tore apart Nietzsche's arguments
Oh boy, shitstorm in 3..2..1

he is pretty good but i wouldn't go far as to say he's the best philosopher. he makes a great case for christianity and objective morality though.
>>
>>2371805

No.

He wrote some good children's books though.
>>
Yes. He's up there with Sproul, Zecharias and Charles Lawson.

Literally a meme

Strawman.
>>
>>2371805
C.S Lewis isn't even the best children's author of the 20th century.
>>
>>2372065
Explain to me how it's a strawman then.
>>
>>2371839
Thanks for that link, great content.

"By exaggerating, misrepresenting, or just completely fabricating someone's argument, it's much easier to present your own position as being reasonable, but this kind of dishonesty serves to undermine honest rational debate."
>>
>>2372094
I put it in silly words but it's still pretty much the exact arguments he uses.
>>
>>2372071

This. Tolkien was.
>>
Is Lewis's trilemma the most retarded of all Christian apologetic arguments?
>>
You mean young adult author?
>>
For some reason the only people I've ever encountered that think C.S Lewis was a particularly great philosopher were already Christians before they read C.S Lewis.
>>
Yes.

Everytime a "spook" shitposter appears, I link the CSLewisDoodle channel to him.

There is an objective morality, a universal law.
>>
>>2372221
And the only people I've encountered that think Nietzsche was a great philosopher were atheists.

Funny how that works huh?
>>
>>2372235
Yes.

It's starting to seem like people latch onto philosophers to justify beliefs they already had then make shitty threads.
>>
>>2372239
But it's about looking at the actual arguments without letting cognitive dissonance get in the way.
>>
>>2372244
>arguing with somebody on issues of faith

Fuck off, it's pointless.
>>
>>2372252
>philosophy is faith

>>2372260
It's not, but people are so fucking stubborn it is ridiculous.

Those are fucking great. Gonna bookmark that channel and check out all the rest of the videos.

>>2372260
even believing in existence of Australia is faith
>>
>>2372235
I thought Nietzsche was a great thinker back when I was Christian, even though I disagreed with him.

He is certainly a higher caliber thinker than Louis
>>
>>2372235
>>2372239
I'm an atheist and I think Nietzsche is just an edgelord.
>>
>>2372289
>>2372450
You = anecdotal evidence
Fuck off
>>
>>2372450
I'm an edgelord and I think Nietzsche is based so you might have a point.
>>
>needing theology and theologians to have faith
>taking C.S. Lewis serious on anything
>implying that 'tearing up arguments' is in any way important when it comes to faith

You have no stinking clue what faith is, do you?
>>
>>2371805
>this is what theists believe
Embarrassing.
