Hitchens D'Souza Debate Book TV

Well damn here i was expecting Hitchens to have a challenge for once with D'Souza's credentials. I'm not even half way through the man's opening statement and I can already see I will be disappointed.

The problems all religious people have when debating is that the more concrete claims they make, the weaker their case becomes. Ironically, the only thing they have going for them are the atheists' unwillingness to (unlike religious people) make correspondingly fantastical claims about something about which they know very little.

good answer

lol DD uses that opening joke in lot of debates... lame.

why is it that when we talk to god we are said to be praying but when god talks to us we are said to be schizophrenic?

because praying isn't a delusion.

because i talk to my dog all the time but if it started talking back to me, when only i could hear, i would be insane.

The US, arguably the most christian nation, also had slavery. Dinesh, is a fucking weasel.

wow, dinesh is delusional. Western nations rush to help because western nations have money to help.

Its funny, there are some small civilizations in the world that have not heard of christianity yet they are not raping, pillaging, and murdering.

Let's paraphrase D'Souza's dismissal of atheism:

"If you live in a society retarded by superstition and ignorance, why should that bother you?"

Good question.
