Pursuit of the truth requires more than imagination: it requires the generation and decisive elimination of alternative possibilities until, ideally, only one remains, and it requires a habitual readiness to attack one's own convictions.

Recorded Video - Debate: Does the Christian god exist? Rev. Marcelle Dotson vs. Justin Vacula


I debated Rev. Marcelle Dotson of Field of Grace United Methodist Church in Wilkes-Barre on the topic of "Does the Christian god exist?" on December 19, 2011.

The debate was recorded live from "Jason International Studios" in Mountain Top, PA.

The debate is now available as a recorded version for your viewing pleasure. A audio-only podcast will also be available in the near future.



Feel free to comment below, send me e-mail, etc. I'd love to hear from you.

Please Consider Donating

I update this site on a very frequent basis, am passionate about what I do, respond to comments from my readers and engage my audience, am very active beyond the keyboard, and am not in any sort of 'ivory tower.' Unfortunately, blogging is no full-time well-paying position by any means. If you enjoy my work and would like to donate something -- even a dollar that you would never miss -- as a sign of appreciation, I would be very appreciative. Thank you!
