igonorance

The story of the Khazar and the rabbi is fiction. The only evidence that the Khazar existed is from Hasdai Ibn Shaprut who heard about them. These types of talks discredit believers.

Very disappointing talk. Did not engage with any of the atheists key arguments - seemed more interested in personalities, and wooly arguments.
