To be fair to Alex, the christian (Atwell) thing is quite real to him. I don't think it's fair to stand at a distance and say, "That's rather silly." I mean, I personally think there is something to cryptoid encounters. I'm sure plenty of people here would find that ridiculous, but to me it is quite concrete. We can't know what factors combined in his psychology to create his current belief system.
I really consider the podcast and the forum to be two separate entities and I think Alex does as well. He seems not to really give a jot about the forum except that it brings up an occasional idea within the threads on the shows. I don't think he reads the non-show threads. Which is kind of funny really.
I'm fine with the Christian/Atheist criticism, but I'm not seeing even the cursory introduction of counter views.
I think if you want to criticise, you should be a lot less cryptic.
Who is embarrassed by the podcasts? I think perhaps Alex wants to interview the whole spectrum of guests - from the hard-line sceptics, through the really interesting people, out to the rather New Age people such as Tim Freke.

Heh I thought I was being the opposite of cryptic.
The Luciferian-Atheist compact stuff is an embarrassment, as is the Illuminati in Music Video stuff in that podcast. The Christianity as Roman Fiction isn't much better.
As for who is embarrassed, I would say anyone dedicated to rationality and honest appraisal of evidence.
