Complete video at: http://fora.tv/fora/showthread... Christopher Hitchens debates the Reverend Al Sharpton on the question of whether morality can exist in the absence of God.-----A Debate: God Is Not Great with Al Sharpton and Christopher Hitchens.Taking on possibly the greatest issue of our time - the malignant force of religion in the world - Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion through a close and learned reading of the major religious texts, citing numerous historical instances in which sexual repression and outrageous acts of violence have been committed in the name of God. He argues for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix. -- NYPLChristopher Hitchens is an author, journalist and literary critic. Now living in Washington, D.C., he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Nation and Slate; additionally, he is an occasional contributor to many other publications.Al Sharpton Jr. is a Pentecostal minister, a political activist, civil rights activist and film actor. In recent years, Sharpton has also become a perennial candidate in his quest for the Democratic Party's nomination for President of the United States. Author of "Go and Tell Pharaoh: The Autobiography of the Reverend Al Sharpton."

Hitchens didn't even answer the question.

I don't think he was babbling, the answer isn't one that can be summed up in a sentence.

Well, this is the closest I've seen anyone come to making Hitchens in ALL his arrogance look stupid. He took 5 minutes of babbling and trying to use humor to whow the audience, and still didn't answer the question. WAY TO GO AL! What this guy needs is someone who KNOWS they are just as smart and knowledgeable as he THINKS he is, BUT THEY actually do know what they are talking about.

I really like Hitchens, he has such a great presence of authority. Extremely smart and clear-minded, his arguments are flawless.

yet another intelligent response by an intelligent designer. until you learn to think, you're only preaching to the converted

Hitchens is an Ass. Satans little helper that was dumped from the toilet of hell.

And you are a poison to the gene pool.

Actually Dawkins is about as gentle as they come considering he makes a habit of calling people on their bullshit. If Dawkins is an iron fist in a velvet glove, Hitchens would be a well built and ornate rapier. He is openly dangerous to them, but he'll destroy them with grace and form, but they'll still get destroyed. Hitchens actually goes out of his way to be polite, but sometimes there isn't a polite way to tell someone that what they said was offensive garbage.
