Ep 058: Street Epistemology Tutorial 3 | Avoiding Counter-Apologetics San Antonio, TX 25 October 2014 Twitter: https://twitter.com/magnabosco Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/magnabosco210 In my third Street Epistemology tutorial, I dissect a five-minute talk with Seth, a friendly Christian who was heading off to get a cup of coffee before a class. The goal of this video is to explain how to conduct Street Epistemology, as explained in Dr. Peter Boghossian's book, 'A Manual for Creating Atheists'. I also hope to encourage other people to use these techniques when they converse with theists, or anyone else that holds to supernatural beliefs, and help them reconsider the ways they arrived at those conclusions in either face-to-face or written discussions.
