The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Well, I only have limited experience with public speaking. However, I have experienced the same thing. No matter how many times you rehearse in the mirror, once you are on the wrong side of the podium, all of your notes become the skeletal outline for what is really going to come out. Thus, you had better know the topic quite well.
That is probably why people go that route.
