Hello there!

I really enjoy watching The Atheist Experience, and I think Matt is great; along with Jeff Dee. It's just a shame that the callers are often so deluded that they can't see or accept such obvious truth.
Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Sam Harris' speeches/lectures.

If you've been lurking, you know that you will encounter the same kind of delusion and hard-headedness here on this very forum. It really is amazing how blind people can be to simple facts when they are completely convinced of their dogmatic religious positions. Ironically, these positions are not, for the most part, thought out by themselves but regurgitated tripe from their priests, mullahs, and sky-daddys.

Other times, frustrating. 
Hi there, glad to have you aboard!
I'm a great fan of The Atheist Experience as well; Tracey Harris is one of my favourite hosts, I just love her laser-like no-nonsense approach. I enjoy Jeff Dee too, in fact I cringe whenever a caller threatens him with Hell and he looks like he could just reach through the screen and physically tear the guy a new one. I wouldn't regard Matt as a rationalist rock star though; the closest we've got to such a thing is the Texan Tank, AronRa.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Also look into thunderf00t's "why do people laugh at creationists" series.
At least for the LULz.

Yeah, I would recommend keeping a brick wall handy to bash your head into from time to time. It often far more productive than some of the discussions that take place here.
