One really tires of the pathetic whining of Bill Craig as he moans about his lack of meaning in life. Imagine somebody defining meaning as a function of longevity! According to him anything less than eternal life takes away all meaning in this world! Live for a trillion years and die one day short of eternity and...sorry...no meaning. He takes the argument that in the end we all die to somehow remove a meaningful response to events as desirable or undesirable! That is just so dumb! No wonder people get tired of kicking his ass!

Similarly, the only thing that moves him toward moral choices is his terror of Yahweh whom the bible describes as a psychotic savage--bereft of compassion, conscience, and moral values!

Compare the childish despair and whining of Craig with the mature brilliance of Shelley Kagan! This is a great online course from a master scholar:

Here is the complete debate in 10 parts.

Craig comes off as a school boy being taught by a master professor. Indeed, Craig is in so far over his head that one almost feels sorry for him!

If you're short on time you might simply watch part 10.
