ab_big.jpgHere’s a video of Andrew Bernstein delivering his speech “Religion vs. Morality” at The Objective Standard’s mini-conference in Dallas, Texas.

Dr. Bernstein will be debating Christian conservative Dinesh D’Souza on the subject of “Christianity: Good or Bad for Mankind?” on February 8 in Austin, TX. Be sure to purchase auditorium tickets in advance, as the event is expected to sell out. If you can’t make it to Austin for the event, you can watch it via Livestream for $5.00.

Enjoy the video, and tell your friends about the coming debate, which is guaranteed to set a new standard on the subject.

Manichaeism wasn't a Christian heresy, it was a different religion. To say pre-Christian Rome was secular, or even relatively secular is absurd. Same with Greece, though it's Rome that became Christian so that's the one that counts if you're debating a Christian. Bernstein mentions Will Durant's The Age of Faith, I suggest he study the prior volume, Caesar and Christ, and above all, never use Leonard Peikoff as a source for history.

Enjoy the video, and tell your friends about the coming debate, which is guaranteed to set a new standard on the subject.

My prediction: D'Souza is going to cream him.

His Star Trek reference (somewhere after 36 minutes) is a little shakier when you consider the scene where Spock dies in the energy chamber stating "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few . . . or the one."
