@carveyournamein You know humans bred those, right...? Ah but God gave us the idea... I get it. Sorry, should have thought about it.

@Asparagusville Apologies, I'll make sure to put a verb in every clause next time so you can understand me. If you could sort out your use of commas, colons and semi-colons too, I'd much appreciate that. Thanks. Peace.

@JWGames That comment would make more sense if he was debating with two mirrors.

I disagree this is a false dichotomy. The questioner said that Islamofascism is a response to Western imperialism. Hitchens says it isn't (and strongly implies, backed up elsewhere, that it's a product of Islam itself). It's possible to agree with the first but still back the Iraqi invasion, and ...

@Mustaqel To be fair, they're speaking in 2005, after just two years, and the number you quote goes up to 2009. And he was probably quoting from the Iraq Body Count Project, which ended up agreeing pretty bang on with the Wikileaks data, so what he was saying was probably a fair reflection of the...

@nice0071 I assume you've never seen Hitchens talk about Zionism...

@del4830 You think 'thinking for yourself' and listening to opinions are the same thing? Listen to Hitchens. Listen to Haldane. Think for yourself.

And now Hitchens has the cancer and he feels alone... so much for that argument.

@truckerfromreno Finally, I'd be surprised if you could find more than four comparable clauses between the Magna Carta and the Constitution. As is it, in Britain, only three clauses of the Carta still haven't been repealed, and only one of appears in American law (right to due process) and then o...

@tadpoleposition You can't have heard Hitchens speak much. Islam generally gets the harshest criticism. And Christianity has over half a billion more followers so I think it's a bit insincere to say Islam crushes all other theologies. Anyway, they're both immoral, delusional, opportunistic and pr...

@1thousandways But Dawkins is for atheism...? Either that or I'm missing some very hidden subtext...

@DYORPEEPS You can give money to religious charity because it does good work, irrespective of your religious views. The quality of the school is based on its teaching and its resources, not its affiliations. Any right-thinking person would condemn a parent who denied their child a good education ...

How do you know he's lying? How do you know he isn't just mistaken? How do you even know he's wrong?

@SuperPais perhaps it's because you're not English? You don't understand what he's saying?

@brandisify - besides what JoFoo2 says, haven't you ever heard of Kitzmiller vs Dover? Where evolution was held up in a court of law ahead of the bible, your so called eyewitness account? There are plenty of observable things that support evolution, and more importantly, NOT ONE observable thing ...

@k1llk1ngph30n1x no doubt some of it is related to that. And when you start to examine ground like, are morals/altruism/'sins' a natural byproduct of our evolution, you start to realise that there is inescapable overlap, and, as you say, you can't fight from one corner and expect the other to be ...

@guapgueezee Sorry I thought your point was about parenthood rather than education - so you're saying that kids in hetero families don't need to be taught to act if it is natural when gay families adopt? I guess if you teach the kids well enough to respect each others' differences. But that's got...

@the1qb Don't think he talked about that in this debate. I think Craig has a good point in that religious leaders like to prescribe people's behaviour because they care, but them caring isn't reason enough to manage people's behaviour, if they don't agree with the background behind it, IMO.

@bitbutter Shrigley & co wanted their video to be assessed under the presupposition that arts spending was under threat - because it was. Arts funding has just been reduced by 30%, clearly that's what Shrigley wanted to avoid. The possibility of reducing taxation was never on the cards for this s...

@DoubleWW There is not one piece of scientific evidence in support of creationism, whereas there is not one piece of scientific evidence that disputes evolution. That's a fairly good basis on which to start. Those who believe in evolution because of the evidence believe in it because of the evide...

@pinball1970

But then, all the words are taken from real text from forums... so can it be satire?!??!
