Exactly. The true benefit of these mundane debates is not to the debaters themselves, but to the audience. There are many guests that come to read what is discussed, many of whom may be struggling with doubt about their faith and are looking for a voice of reason. By exposing the fallacies and illogical arguments of the religious we are helping to bring others to be able to think more critically about their own views.

But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret is as though it had an underlying truth.
