First, thanks for the kudos on the debate with Saerules thus far. Second, in order to engage in live debate one needs to familiarize oneself with the arguments that the opponent stands behind; however, aside from the ambiguous contributions at Iron Chariots (which I am registered at), I have no way to familiarize myself with the arguments Matt Dillahunty defends other than sitting through a long series of Atheist Experience episodes, which I don't really have the time to do in virtue of currently holding down two full-time jobs plus other real life obligations. It would be helpful to have something in written form that I could evaluate and formulate a debate against. And yet, third, my online access is from a gaming center with an environment that (i) would be boisterous and distracting to audio conversation, and (ii) I don't have authorization to download and install programs, such as Skype (and calling in via cell phone would be prohibitively expensive). All-in-all, debate via written format is the most accessible option for me.
