Not sure this is the right board to ask, but do you know any good youtube channels, or even just videos with honest debates regarding philosophy and religion?I've recently been watching lectures by Michael Sugrue on these topics, and I wanted to see some two sided debates where people engage and challenge each others ideas. And yet when you look through youtube it seems like you only get shitty clickbaity "debates" of the "atheist RAPES stupid Christian" kind.pic vaguely related
>>18416321I don't think anybody on the internet actually knows how to conduct a formal debate, everyone always treats them like a game with win-lose conditions where the goal is to gish-gallop the other person into submission rather than a means of presenting two opposing arguments until both parties can sufficiently share their thoughts and provide enough evidence to sway both parties into a satisfactory conclusion.
>>18416321I do not know any debate channels but my intuition tells me that searching debates by teams like "Group A vs Group B" will get you alot of tribalistic junk. Its probably best to search for debates by ideas, particularly non controversial and niche ones to filter out clickbait junk. If you find a good channel, you can then look through that channel for more controversial topics which would have normally gotten buried beneath a mountain of slopI do not think you will have much luck though. Watching other people argue purely for education is a very niche thing. Its almost like cuckoldry in a way
>>18416321The best channel I can think of is "Premier Unbelievable?", which is specifically for conversations between Christians and non-Christians. As a non-Christian, I've enjoyed much of its content. Speakers are polite, moderator / host is fair. https://www.youtube.com/@PremierUnbelievable/videos
