This is a repost. The original is from "thedailyzack"

He just got Hitchslapped!

[Klingschor]

Please provide a link from which I can get that awesome picture of Hitchens at the end! Your Argument was just Destroyed.... SO GOOD!

Although actually those who rose from the grave may according to some have ascended with Christ but nevertheless not with their power but Gods unlike Christ so the point stands, and in fact this opinion is more probable

[levi199120]

In short hitchens oversimplify's the 'proof from miracles' argument to such a degree that it is merely a strawman and not at all an engagement with the actual argument. One must look at ALL the miracles, the prophecies and the actions together in order to make a watertight argument.

4)Miracles are not a suspension of the natural order, if God suspended the natural order the world would cease to exist rather they are God choosing to act directly rather than through a secondary cause

5) It is not the miracle of the Resurrection alone, it is all the miracles, combined with the predictions and testimony of others that prove Jesus was God. Jesus predicted how and when he would be resurrected, the others who came back (temporarily) did not

[levi199120]

For this entire video hitchens is dealing with a strawman and displays an extraordinary amount of theological ignorance:

1)The people resurrected aside from Jesus subsequently died again, Jesus on the other hand ascended into heaven

2)The others resurrected did so through Gods power and not through their own, whereas Christ essentially resurrected himself, that is through his own power as God

...and that's granting him a lot!

What is almost as entertaining as watching people get hitchslapped is the comments left on youtube from believers.

He gives him so much it seems and then takes soooo much more away from him at the last minute. Slam!!

Think about it, would an unwavering belief in the unsupportable be a problem? Hell yes.
