My Response to Roman Catholic Apologist Trent Horn's Rebuttal of Me

Trent Horn has over 8 hours of video content "refuting" me. Today, I'm going to respond to some of that content. Because there is FAR too much to do a thorough response to, I will be reacting to one of his recent videos point by point.
