I can't believe the host cut that guy off. He's worse than Bill'O!

In all honesty I can understand Dillahunty's frustration. To have to tirelessly repeat the same arguments over and over again to a crowd with their hands practically over their ears is hell on politeness. I envy Dr. Dawkins for his incredible patience.

I've never seen Bill O'Reilly have a rational discussion with anyone for more than a few consecutive seconds. The caller just gave them a bunch of outlandish claims with nothing to back them up. After getting the runnaround for a while, at some point you just gotta move on (rudely).

He gave the caller much more time than he deserved.

It wasn't a rational discussion it was just name calling.

Matt would ask for a response and then the caller would ignore him and fall back on "it's wrong to be atheist and you're atheist so you're wrong" over and over again.

Matt is almost too patient, lately he is cutting those people off before they take up too much of the show which I think is a good thing.

I didn't hear any name calling.

Me either, not anything direct anyways.

I did hear the caller says a few lines though that sounded like indirect name calling.

8:44 is a good example, where he says something along the lines of "I find it intriguing that atheist always twist and manipulate words". So he's essentially accusing Matt of not having any point which is an insult in its own respect.

What I wish Matt would have bee able to explain a bit clearer is that when he asks the callers questions, he's trying to get them to think....*shock*gasp*awe* For as Peter Joseph said "The truth is realized, not told."
