Responding To Parker

So Charlie Kirk, a Conservative commentator and Christian did a video with Jubilee (sadly not the X-Men character or anyone in cosplay) where the main topic being debated was whether or not college was a scam. Charlie held his own very well until a smarmy young man named Parker approached the mound and decided to hurl curveball after curveball at Charlie. What was the curveball? Parker claimed that religion was likewise a scam and proceeded to make a transphobic argument against Charlie; and as much as I like Charlie, he struck out several times here and I'm here to explain what should have been said to answer Parker's objection. Now, full disclosure I did not watch the entire Jubilee clip because there's only so much I can take of people like Parker, not hating on the guy just when they're so smug and have no clue what they're talking about but act as if they do it really grinds my gears. Let's dive in.
