    @sakar181 And one way that we in the US can "kick ass" where it really counts, is to join & actively support the "Freedom From Religion Foundation". FFRF . ORG Thank you very much for the comment.

    @sakar181 : I don't just mean to be nit picky. Remember, the creationists will latch onto anything as an excuse to attack the side of reason. You can obviously see how a quote miner would use this off date to make some kind of misdirection argument agai

    @lovingboarding Axp uploads their stuff so that it can be used & redistributed freely. This is what is hoped for; ie, a great response to a stupid proposition.

    @BohemianBlasphemy The funny thing is, I kind of think he actually DID sound like a jerk. I think it was mainly the way he told them they were going to hell. He said it really flippantly and matter-of-factly with a very smug little chuckle.

    Wow, this is the best response yet from Matt D. It's everything I've always wanted to say, but couldn't. There was nothing that caller could have said. Keep it up guys and gals!

    This video has entered my favorites list as soon as Matt started talking from his heart (if that's possible) which almost drove me to tears.This is the closest to preaching to reason and humanity one can get and the silence at the end is overwhelming. Tha

    If god wants me to believe he exists then why is he hiding? Why would you believe in a deity that causes so much misery and tells you to have faith? Reality circumvents all faith.

    @vincentvangro I guess what im trying to say is that a relationship and worship of a supernatural deity constitutes a religion whether is an institutionalized organization or not.

    @vincentvangro (cont)...but in any case, I don't agree that they put up both in the same bucket, I see them discussing concepts of God that have not been presented by any religion (that im aware of) and yet refute them with logic and evidence...

    @vincentvangro well, you are free to call or email the show whenever you want, I agree with you that religion not necessarily represents whatever creator there might be, however.... I think, specially in the last decades, people has been redefining their
