to "debate" a controversial issue, assemble a panel of three conservatives. to "debate" the issue of atheism, get three conservative christians.
let them make a series of bizarre-o claims about the christian identity of the united states. say nothing.
let them say that atheists should" just shut up" and say nothing.
act as though this idiocy represents the parameters of acceptable debate.
it really is amazing.

so why does anyone watch cnn and confuse it with a legitimate information source again?
