I found the show interesting but think that we need to dig much deeper. A few questions that need to be asked. Why is there an assumption that if god exists he must be good? What is the nature of good, is god the definition of good or is the definition of good something that goes far beyond whatever gods might exist.

Great interview Mark! Obviously a practiced interview participant but I think you gave him some questions that were thought provoking.
