Christopher Hitchens Debates Mark Roberts (Part 09/12)

This is an audio only debate of Christopher Hitchens and Mark D. Roberts on the Hugh Hewitt Radio Show from a couple months ago. Billed as the "Great God Debate" They cover a ton of topics and this is one of the few debates I've heard between Hitchens and the religious where the religious side doesn't come off as unintelligent. There are 12 parts (originally 3 hours with commercials but those are edited out) this is from townhall (dot) com do a search for Christopher Hitchens and you'll get a few results. Enjoy.

Prayer is a moral action? WTF? Religious people just don't get it. Maybe they never will.

I worship the magic marshmallow, and that makes me more moral than Christians because only I can do the magic marshmallow dance - which is an act of morality that they are incapable of.

Madeline Kara Neumann, age 11, died of diabetic ketoacidosis in 2008. She received no medical treatment for her condition; Leilani and Dale Neumann preferred to spend their time praying.

Would you consider their prayers a moral action, Mr. Roberts?

Hitchen's demolishes this guy, his head is removed.

[wild112233]

I prayed to my jug of milk last night. Twice. Therefore, I am doubly moral than this priest.

Good lord, this priest is a moron.

The host and Roberts get totally owned on the "redefining secular regimes as religious is special pleading." Point. As mentioned, Cuba is not an atheist regime but a Catholic one. Stalin was supported by the Orthodox church. Mao had his photo/image replace statues of deities on ransacked alters in Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian temples. North Korea WORSHIPS their leaders. Neopagan Nazis well there you go, NOT atheist. Etc. etc. etc.

[BillKiernan]

Cuba is not atheist, Castro even mentions god in some of his speaches.

"...Gosh. Well I think it does as much good as aerobic dancing would do, frankly."

LMAO! Couldn't believe I'd heard that right at first.
