The only thing about this promo I liked was where the lady said "It's very dangerous to use the bible for a pretext for anything". This is not geared to skepticism, it is designed to make the believer gasp and say "I'll show you".

Jesus Freaks Will Shit A Brick Over This One

History now showing the premiere on Wednesday the 13th rather than Monday.
No clue why.  (November 8, 2013 at 4:09 pm)Brian37 Wrote: The only thing about this promo I liked was where the lady said "It's very dangerous to use the bible for a pretext for anything".

She seems pretty knowledgable and level-headed when it comes to dealing with crackpo-- I mean religious people.  It might be interesting - but if it conflicts with Survivor there's no way I'm watching it.

All I was saying was that I'd seen that particular woman on a UK debate show and she seemed to know what she was talking about with regards to the debates she was participating in. I'm not even 100% on whether she's a theist or not, all I know is that she was defending the skeptical/atheist side. I assume she is but you know what happens when you ass-u-me. As for whether the show itself is geared toward a skeptical viewpoint or not, I don't necessarily know that that can be determined until the first episode airs; teasers for new programs can be misleading. FYI, I looked it up and it looks like it's airing on the US West coast on History Channel at 7pm on Wednesday the 13th.

The dark-haired woman in the promo is Francesca Stavrakopoulou, who is no fan of orthodox anything. I think the older woman was Elaine Pagels.

this looks good. I'll take notes and we can go over them point by point if you like.
