Ep 085: Street Epistemology Tutorial 5: When to Bail on Believers San Antonio, TX 30 December 2014 Twitter: https://twitter.com/magnabosco Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/magnabosco210 This fifth tutorial details several examples where it's likely best to terminate a Street Epistemology encounter. Ultimately, the decision to continue or leave will fall on the individual. It's my goal, by showing a few examples, to help viewers become prepared to make that choice when the time comes. My objective is to teach others how to conduct similar conversations with believers—regardless of the religion they subscribe to—based on techniques from Dr. Peter Boghossian's book, “A Manual for Creating Atheists”. I also want to encourage others to build off of these techniques and conduct similar conversations with believers in their own unique style.
