The second debate between Frank Turek (author of I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist) and Christopher Hitchens (author of God is not Great). The question of this debate was "What Best Explains Reality: Atheism or Theism? and was recorded at The College of New Jersey; 31st March, 2009.
@RPenta So there's a bag somewhere, and I may or may not be in said bag. Do I want to know what the bag is? It sounds like it may be dirty, I'm sorry, but I just don't think of you that way. Will your shit make sense some day? And last time I checked, Turek the Evangelical Christian war monger is still afoot. He was the only Christian mentioned though, who is the other one, the voice in your head?

@RPenta "I was talking about Hitchens"
No shit. Turek the war monger is fine to you, just Hitchens that got your goat?

@whybag Apparently Turek had nothing to fear, unlike those who supported Obama as the candidate of "change" and "hope".

@whybag Maybe you were in the bag but I was talking about Hitchens, not Turek.
Apparently we still have yet another Evangelical Christian war monger afoot.

@RPenta "In light of what Jesus said about loving our enemies, should Christians be pacifists?
I don’t think so. In fact, sometimes the use of force is not only justified, it can be a dereliction of duty not to use force." - Frank Turek
The same Frank Turek that said Obama wasn't fit for presidency because he wanted to withdraw troops from Iraq in 2008?

@whybag What do you call a dead Chris Hitchens? One less war monger.

Turek keeps coming back to "God's" morals that Hitchens uses to view the world, and I wanted Hitchens to smash him in the face with it. There is NO objective morality. If God TELLS YOU to kill a man for picking up sticks, or TELLS YOU to slaughter a town except for the virgins, and we as a society now consider these to be evil, God didn't give us those morals.

Petty Office Monsoor's sacrifice truly selfless and should be remembered honorably. But I ask, would his sacrifice be greater if he was a believer or if he was a non-believer?
As a believer, he would expect to literally meet his maker and, hopefully, move onto eternal reward. As a non-believer, he would expect nothing more than oblivion. Which is the greater sacrifice?
I also ask, do you think either of these things went through his head?
