What is The Atheist Experience?

The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas, geared at an atheist and non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin (ACA), a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

I wish all Christians were like this pastor.

@bonk926: They let him get away with too much.  He was there for a debate...but he gave answers they totally would have roasted callers on. Jeff should have been on this show. :P

[dannytibi]

Great guest... I felt a lot of respect for this guy. He sounds like a genuinely compassionate human being. Different from what you normally see.

@debnadaviebna Dude, you're crazy!

[MrEnlightenup]

poor guy was lost,no clue but plenty of delusion.

[jedi1love]

A nice guy, with a good heart, but a horrible defense.

I buy only cage free eggs, and I don't eat red meat, but I do eat fish a couple times a week.

Nice pastor, but this really didn't address the "problem of evil" very much; maybe in the longer video? The pastor didn't answer a single question about his theology or the reasons for preferring a religious moral framework over a secular one. 

[YouGotsTheRabies]

You can tell that the pastor is a great human being, regardless of theological differences. He uses Christianity as his baseline, but the life lessons he's endured fuels him to try and help others. A real mensch!

Matt Damon really is a great character actor. I can't believe he would lose all that weight for this small role though. Emmy!!!

[debnadaviebna]

They just let him talk. These are the kinds of people that they should be burning on the stake, they should be making him sweat

[jiveturkey86]

nice guy, pretty good at dancing around the question
