The Festival of Dangerous Ideas returns to the Sydney Opera House in October and once again Big Ideas will be there.

This year's lineup includes 'Alan Dershowitz v Geoffrey Robertson: Should the Pope be held to account?' 'Lenore Skenazy: Is Freedom to dangerous for kids?' and 'Tariq Ali: What we can learn from terrorists.' Check out the full program here and keep an eye on Big Ideas for the best of the festival.

The highlight of last year's Festival of Dangerous Ideas was Christopher Hitchens in conversation with Big Ideas' Tony Jones. Hitchens entertained a sold out audience at the Concert Hall explaining how religion poisons everything and finished the evening by singing the Philosophers Song. Enjoy this unexpected treat

  • @2edsajdmsa My envy is palpable.

  • @tigersforchrist piss off

  • Can someone please explain to me Hitchen's joke at the end? Why would 'reductio' be a fitting name for the song?

  • @ripdavip i am waiting with you, brother!

  • @tigersforchrist i am god and i am the real fool!

  • Only a REAL FOOL would claim there is no God! Man creates awesome skyscrapers, fake hearts, tunnels, vehicles etc.. If we are very imperfect then what more can God create THE UNIVERSE! You must accept Jesus Christ as your Savior to receive eternal rest in heaven! Simple! John 3:16 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him! Repent & accept Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ or HELL?!? Visit cbn. com
