3. I haven't been able to finish the whole thing myself.

At about thirty minutes in, it is clear to my Uygur is completely out of his league. The one instance that stood out the most is when he tries to take Harris to task for saying Mormonism is basically Christianity with more bad ideas. He argues that believing Missouri to be the predestined kingdom of the returned Christ isn't any more absurd than simply believing that Christ will return. Sam tries to explain the statistics of it, that localizing an improbable event to a specific place adds another layer of improbability to the question, but Cenk just doesn't get it. He keeps saying Harris is "wrong".
