damn... that was not a zing, that a BURN! beautiful.

what i meant to say was woops!

It doesn't come up anywhere on the sift when I search "Deepak Chopra", point to the dupe.

>> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

dupe! too lazy too look

Touché!

... then Chopra matter-of-factly admits he's insecure, as any confident person would do.

Damn. Now I have to drive my rocket car back to my solid-gold mansion to ponder how I've been burned.

by that logic, i'm not afraid to admit i have a small penis

<sarcasm>
Just another case of the "gotcha journalism" at work here. Why won't they just leave Deepak alone!
</sarcasm>

I'll give the guy credit, that was an awesome zinger, but that's all it was, a zinger. Deepak obviously could have phrased his statement better because I'm assuming he meant belief in terms of dogmatic religion.

The sad part is that the guy probably thinks he totally demolished his entire argument when he really just got a nice play on words in.

Yea agreed, it didn't really undercut anything other than the wording.

I came in here to laugh at this guy till you shifted my paradigm. Thanks for that. >> ^messenger:

I'm with @messenger on this one. I hate when people applaud these stupid little one liners.

Ooh nice one! I love the looks on those faces. Like they just had to inhale a fart or something.

I actually don't think the audience member was trying to prove or disprove anything, I think he was trying to be silly. This is like asking if God could create a rock so heavy that even he couldn't lift it. A meaningless silly question formed only to spark debate, as is presupposes the existence of a god at all.

Exactly, this has the intellectual weight of a "douchebagsayswhat" joke.

Actually I think that's a very valid question as it illustrates that belief in an omnipotent being results in logical contradictions, or at the very least that such belief is not something it makes much sense to try to rationally discuss.

The sad part is that the guy probably thinks he totally demolished his entire argument when he really just got a nice play on words in.

Deepak's argument was "all belief is a cover up for insecurity". If he doesn't really mean ALL belief, his argument is really just a nice play on words. So, I would say the speaker really did demolish the entire argument, since the entire argument was nothing more than a play on words itself.

Exactly. Deepak's argument is nothing more than a sound bite based on a flimsy premise. I think this guy exposed exactly how flimsy Chopra's premise is. Deepak should have worded his argument more carefully. It may not be as catchy and compact as his original argument, but hey, neither are life's complexities. Let him defend himself; don't do the job for him.

Why does anyone here want to give this 'new age' spirituality and alternative medicine pusher the benefit of the doubt anyway? Screw him. >> ^bcglorf:
