For the last couple or years or so, I've noticed that it's become frequent to post videos on Youtube in which an atheist lays into preachers or people who sell religious books on the street with the intention of debating, but it usually turns into an awkward situation.
I'm thinking about people like Ted the Atheist, who warns people not to buy Scientology books (in front of their noses), claiming that it's a fraud or faces Jehova's Witnesses or Mormons and other Christians. He's a smart guy, but he loses his temper too often and too soon.
What's your opinion about this? Have you ever tried to do it? Could this be the reason for the raising of the word "anti-theists"? Do you think this is useful or counter-productive?
