I'm eager to see if Frank Turek can stand up and walk to the microphone after the verbal assrape Hitchens gave him.

God doesn't need anyone to back up His existence. Only fools and haters doubt the existence of the Almighty God. As little children, we know there is a God. It is when people grow up and want to take over God's role that people want to get rid of him with crazy arguments that the universe was created by Nothing and that man came from monkies.

@Iceland1944 None of your many assertions are backed up with evidence. Therefore I have no reason to believe anything you say.

Hitchens wiped the floor with Turek.

For someone who thought he was so bright, Hitchens continued to just "not get it". He attacked bad Christians to make a point, when Frank or any other Christian would have readlily agree with him. Yes, mankind is evil. Our religion says that, we know it! Therefore, the need for Christ. Christians do bad things. They are not God. The only difference is that Christians know they need God's forgiveness and help. We accept the gift. Hitchens targeted atheists as his audience. He was crafty.

[Iceland1944]

Yet another agent of darkness. He has gone to join the Father of Lies in the pit. He now knows how he was used by Satan. He is now in eternal separation from God. It is a shame that he had all the facts and chose to ignore them. Now he knows. You God-haters who are going to send me mails with curse words will end up where Hitchens is too. Turn to Christ before it is too late. No fuzzy, feel-good news from me. This is a serious matter.

@DonnZ0r very crude

[Ratacon2004]

@Heteblixem Theirs a reason why he spoke in parable.He did that on purpose to seperate sinners/christians from real christians. Only people that commit to God will get the understanding of what he meant when he spoke in parables. An example: And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." He doesn't mean you act inmature and start to play with toys like a child.Children dont do evil acts only adult do them.

[Ratacon2004]

@Heteblixem You cannot put a spin on the bible to make something sound better.You do that then you are lying and not preaching correctly.Jesus said,“I speak in parables so they won't understand.”Mark 4:10-13 says,“That seeing they may see, and not perceived: and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted and their sins should be forgiven them. And He said unto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will you know all parables?”

@Ratacon2004 - Let us take the words of your saviour, rather than rely upon any euphemistic metaphors, "...where there is great wailing and gnashing of teeth".

You really have got to love someone who can design such a place for his children, unless jesus was at the dentist when he said this.
