I don't know how others process this. I've read, watched, and seen a few of these bigshot atheists. I got from them some very useful ideas, to be certain. I rejected some others of their ideas.
And then, I move on, synthesizing the new ideas into my model of reality, seeing what successes I can bring in life. I find that dirt I may learn about these bigshots is usually irrelevant to the ideas of theirs I find useful. Thomas Jefferson owned other humans, yet seemed to have a few other good ideas, as an example.
I see it as an attempt to discredit ideas. An attempt based not on the ideas, but on their authors.
It'll take better ideas to change my mind, Mr. Torres. You seem to have nothing new to offer.
