LINK Citing “Moral Failure,” Christian Apologist Sye Ten Bruggencate Leaves Ministry | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

This is rather unusual.

Sye Ten Bruggencate is a Canadian apologist best known for his support of Presuppositionalism, a branch of Christian apologetics that says everything in the Bible is divine revelation and therefore the basis for everything we know. Literally everything. In other words, forget reason and logic and evidence; the Bible must be everyone’s starting point. When asked if Christianity required him to be kind to other human beings, Bruggencate once responded, “I don’t know. You’d have to quote the verse.”

It’s also textbook circular reasoning: God exists because it’s true that God exists. Why do we know that? The Bible says so. It’s comically absurd.

I’m most familiar with him because of a public debate he did with Matt Dillahunty back in 2014: (follow link for video of debate and rest of article)

Maybe Sye finally decided that he might not exist because he could be a mind in a vat. Oh, god, how do you know?

Reminds me of Jimmy Swaggert. "I'm have sinned against you Lord" He had intercity compared to him.
