  • It is almost like arguing for the motion that:

    "Deep fried fatty food served with ground glass and poison is a force for health in the world."

  • I pray to Zeus that someone puts that online.

  • I shall never declare more than one spirit, by giving a response 'And with your spirit'. Never shall I. It would hurt Jesus. One body, one Spirit in Him. Amen

  • @HouseHaunter484 So...you're in denial then?

  • Wow!

    I thought Fry and Hitchens made the most compelling argument but I already agreed with them. I didn't expect they would sway so many.:)

  • If you watch the whole thing Hitch and Fry absolutely and mercilessly obliterate them. And rightly so.

  • @O8SERVER fags like hich and fry are doomed, save they repent.

  • Everyone should watch this debate in its entirety.

    The catholic church gets its ass WHOOPED by Hitchens + Fry. It's fucking beautiful.

  • Actually that's such an Athena thing to do! Or Xochiquetzal. God knows.

  • Zeus has answered your prayers. It is now online. (Personally I was praying to Aphrodite, I wonder which one carried the day....)

  • its a Tv channel only available outside UK, they cant broadcast it here because it has advertising not covered by the public tv license fees. they do have a radio version avialable on iplayer. its not great. besides its up now :) :) :) go fritchens!!!

  • "How is this even possible?"

    By censorship and constraints.
