It makes NO practical difference whether or not God exists !!! It does, however, make a practical difference to what degree we have Scientific understanding of nature... It's the ONLY thing that makes our lives BETTER then that of our ancestors.

@RamsesReturns I have much better things to do.

@hznfrst Take your time...

@RamsesReturns You make no sense at all.

@hznfrst Turn back the clock? It appears the secular world aims to turn the world back beyond Christ... Sodoma and Gommora was destroyed some 5,000 years ago. Superstition can't accurately predict 2000 years in advance, nor can it manifest before you. I am no fan of religion and neither was Christ, people always find a reason to fight, you don't need religion for that.

@RamsesReturns If the god-botherers would keep it to themselves we would most happily ignore them, but they *don't* keep it to themselves! They are constantly interfering with the advance of civilization by trying to force their idiotic and dangerous superstitions on the rest of us, forcing us to waste time fighting against these attempts to turn back the clock. And when they're not fighting rationalism they fight each other!

Illusion is a necessary and "ineradicable" (1:36) part of a sane human experience. No one is more logical than the lunatic. This is why the genius Freud, who like Hitchens thought he could figure everything out, chomped on a cigar until cancer ate away his jaw. And why Hitchens clutches his bottle for dear life after each interview. It's too late for Freud, but Hitch might want to read Ernest Becker's "The Denial of Death" (Pulitzer, 1974), and spare himself a bit of exasperation.

@lancemannly I am never without something interesting before me. In fact, I often wish I were less creative.

seems like a waste of time, you could spend your life actually doing something of interest.

Since you're an agnostic, your argument doesn't work.
