3. The Christian, no matter what is actually said.
I think this is the type of person Sye is trying to attract.
I agree, but I don't know that I would say Matt squirmed. Sye definitely didn't, he's too arrogant to think it's even possible he could be wrong, let alone let a question of Matt's make him squirm.
What I found even more aggrivating than the actual debate was the Dogma Debate episode afterwards - Dave Silverman* was on and then they changed guests to Sye and Ken Ham and they threw down some big challenge to for all of three of them to take a polygraph test about their belief in God or something and one of the audience members came up to tell them polygraph tests are no longer admissible in court and are too easy to fool and such and Sye was like "Sure, see how they back out? Dave Silverman probably told him to say that, he's such a coward!"
*Dave wasn't the only guest in that segment, but he's the only one relevant to the anecdote.
What a slimy asshole.
Note to self: I need to stop giving STB the time of day, he's not worth it.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
