Christopher Hitchens has a piece in which he dismantles Billy Graham. I’m gonna guess most of it could be recycled for robertson.

Thanks to everyone posting in this thread… Brings a smile to my face seeing this announcement at the top of my “Unread” nearly every time I get on the Dope!

She can be too acerbic and focused on attacking the bad stuff at times, but (1) she’s gotten a lot better since getting on antidepressants and (2) I find her videos quite informative on pointing out misinformation and woo. I find she is usually right.

Plus, she’s not overly focused on religion, nor did she start veering to the right like much of skeptical/atheist YouTube. She reminds me more of some people who post here, honestly.
