Pre-order my novel, The Long Road to Holy Island

"Religion poisons everything." That was the thesis that Stephen Woodford of @Rationality Rules set out to defend in a debate against Glen Scrivener of @SpeakLifeMedia on the @Pangburn YouTube channel. In this video, I review the debate, paying special attention to two things: 1. Do Stephen's arguments establish the conclusion, "religion poisons everything?" 2. Disambiguating key terms in the debate.
