Leykis figured the Weinsteins did orchestrate getting the Catholic league enraged so as to use them by having them add free publicity.Seeing as he thinks the Catholic League are idiots, this tickled him to no end. He basically said, without the C.L., Dogma would have been allow budget film that came and went unremarked. But thanks to the league everyone is talking about it (including him). He basically said he would be a booster for the film.

– The fact that Kevin Smith is in fact Catholic and his intent in making the film was missed. Leykis is actually an atheist and not a big fan of organized religion so the fact that uptight Catholics were getting more uptight also tickled him. Being Catholic I sort of resented the way he lumped Catholics in general with the Catholic League but I don’t have nearly the problem with him that I do with the C.L.

– One listener called in to say that she had seen some promotional materials her friend had shown her for the film and that it exposed Satanism. Another caller said that the film and Leykis were both bad because they did not respect other people’s beliefs. Leykis pointed out he only had to respect people’s rights to believe, not to respect the beliefs themselves and that everyone had the right to free speech.Then when he found out Tom Leykis was an atheist Mr. “Respect All Peoples Beliefs” became disgusted with Leykis, was censored for swearing at Leykis and, if I remember correctly, told Leykis he would go to hell (which really isn’t an effective threat to hurl at an atheist). Basically some of the calls served as a reminder of the number of really not-so-sharp people there are out there.
