Poster here,
I watch this show in it's entirety every Sunday, but I live 3 hours away from Austin so I can't actually watch it on cable. This happened to be a short episode due to studio requirements and so they made it a non-lecture, call-in only program. Most callers are non-theists, and I'd guess most viewers are too. Many of the admirers of the show have asked Matt and other hosts to allow more theists to call in and debate them. Yes sometimes its just the entertainment factor, but I agree that some of the non-theists that call in don't always bring much in the way of new topics to the show. Thank you VideoSift for bringing this program to my attention!

VoodooV, I believe that indeed they are fighting the "good" fight. Many of the theist callers (especially in my opinion the ones that start with "I'm a theist...) are sitting on the fence. The reason Matt continues to do the show are for these people. I'm guessing its rare that anyone is 'unconverted' on the show, but it gets the ball rolling. I think if a theist calls in and wants to debate Matt, he wants to practice defending his position because in his or her own mind he is questioning it.

>> ^VoodooV:


Atheists are fighting the wrong fight. Why do these people continue to tilt against windmills with people who already have their minds made up and aren't going to swayed no matter how convincing the argument is. All this does is pump up the people who already feel the same way you do. It doesn't improve things one bit. Well except make for good comedy I suppose.
