Steelmanned Harris via the Rogers method and conceded 'the Old Testament's a brutal document' and that stoning passages 'are wrong,' with no fallacies recorded; on belief-as-sole-driver (ISIS converts) and the physical resurrection he redirected without answering, declining any probability, and 7 interruptions were logged.
