So a lot of things.

Yeah, I had a debate.

He's a Christian apologist, and I've debated him before, but we talked about different theological issues.

But one of the debates we had was about the fact that the greatest base of support for what the US is doing in supporting Israel is from the Christian conservatives.

And I was pointing out that there's a kind of hypocrisy

with Christians who claim that they love everyone and that they're so concerned with the poor and the destitute and the oppressed, but the Palestinians are the most oppressed in the world and their government with their mandate is giving major arms and bombs, 2,000 pound bombs to Israel to drop on poor women and children and the people of Gaza.

So he was very uncomfortable with that line of argumentation.

And this debate was happening in a church.

So it was like a Christian audience and they became very hostile.

They started shouting me down, cursing me.

And yeah, it became quite a zoo in the church.

Usually when I do in-person debates, it's in a hostile setting.

Oh, it is?

It is.

So I've been heckled pretty much in every in-person debate that I have because I debate atheists.

I debate Christians.

I debate all kinds of religions.

And it can get pretty hostile when you're in person.

Most of my debates are just virtually through like StreamYard or whatever.

But in-person debates is usually a hostile crowd because there's also fewer Muslims in the United States than compared to Christians or atheists or other groups.
