For those Atheists in the Austin, Texas area who are not aware of the public access show that they have on their television, please do check it out. A live call in show that feilds questions from the public on behalf of the Atheist Community of Austin, a non-profit secular foundation. The show is fun from the atheist perspective, interesting, and worth the lengthy hour and half it takes to watch it. If you are not in the Austin area you can also watch the show by searching on Google Video, where much of their archives are waiting for you to watch. Click Here To Save Time.
Below I have included an embeded episode for you to preview the work, and while it isn’t BBC quality, you can say that at least its Atheists on TV.

Yes. Christians are absurd as they believe in a universal immaterial Spirit and Atheists are the epitome of rationality. Examples of this supeior rationality include things like being coming from non-being, and laws of logic that you can stub your toe on.
Especially insightful is the part of the show where Jeff posits this question: If a biologist creates a thinking being then does the biologist have the right to subsequently destroy it? He of course answers no, but one wonders doesn’t he reject the idea of a creator in the first place?
A better example would be: suppose a biologist is sitting at a desk when out of thin air, (through chance and circumstance of course) there appears before him an _uncreated_thinking_being. On what grounds could we cry foul if the biologist decides through the random biological processes (which are simply refined baboon’s thoughts) to end the existence of the _uncreated_thinking_being?
Only a Christian could call the former evil as the whole scenario presupposes a creator.
