That statement is not true, not constructive and is in fact de-constructive. I'm not gonna argue about the speakers or the subject we probably agree on most things, but I don't agree on your attitude towards the 'other side in fact i vehemently disagree with any gratous demeaning comment against theists. Why? You are not doing any good to the furthering of atheism and more generally rational critical thinking. Imagine being a theist reading that. And imagine you actually also made real pertinant points that had not been answered. I can guarantee 99.99% of people will instantly dismiss all of your comment because it was felt as an unjustified (or plain) attack. It's dumb it's unrelated but people take critism of their beliefs as critisism of them and more so the stronger held. You are basically attacking the most fundamental central pillar of a belief and that is equivalent to you giving them a get out of jail card. You give them an espace route, oh that bastard is just a godless immoral atheist look at how he is full of hate on our poor religion, people hate christians so much we are constantly attacked- in the meantime not even having to dismiss your actual points, why give any time to the raving comments of a demonised adversary? I understand where the sentiment comes from believe me, and i ve been far more brutal in many conversations with thiests. Not proud nor ashamed i'd be gzntler on some but not everyone deserveq your good will, and sometimes you just get angry no big deal, the difference is between attacking a person which is perfectly fine if merited, and attacking an ideology solely by mocking, which is actually helping said ideology by protecting it from critisism.

I went to a Conservative Christian Camp somewhere in southern Kansas back in June of 1993 when I was 12 years old. We had a counselor who was speaking to us children and teenagers who were 11-14 years old. This man in his 20s looked at every last one of us and said now you know we all to deserve to burn in hell for eternity and if it wasnt for Jesus we all would be. My heart I thought was going to jump right out of my throat and I was so enraged. My blood was boiling, my body shook violently, and I wanted to walk right up to that guy and kick him right in the balls. I dont see how anyone can live with themself or look someone in the face and say something so hideouly wickedly immoral to children, teenagers, or anyone for that matter. Oh, they would say were just teaching them that because it is only the truth. There is not even one shred of credible evidence to back up that claim. Thank You Christopher, you will be missed.

That makes absolutely no sense what you just said. “Based on reason and logic”? Where do you get off of telling someone what to do or to even call something logic when we’re just matter acting on time and space. That means there is no meaning or purpose or even thinking for that matter that should matter at all. We’re just stardust colliding with each other. Even atheist make me laugh because there logic is so flawed. A true atheist if one didn’t really believe in God wouldn’t be here commenting on KZitem videos because there is not sense in actually commenting if where just time and space acting on matter. Even your thinking pattern of composing a sentence is illogical how can we show you’re right, how can we prove that logic even exist if we just evolved into what we are? Whose to say that is even true? Atheist sound like the far left who say men can be women and women can be men. It’s all ludicrous when you speak because there is not such thing as objective truth in an atheist world view. So why bother with literally anything. Why care about evil and good if there is no objective truth. And if we developed this objective truth how do we even know it’s right. I swear atheist stand on such High ground thinking they are superior in intellect when you’re own intellect you brag about isn’t even founded on nothing, its wrong or right but how would we know?

The most interesting part of this debate was the part regarding the cosmological constants and the "fine tuning" of the universe and so on. This is an argument that falls on its own unreasonableness. The vast majority of the universe is fiercely inhospitable to life, or at least carbon-based life, due to radiation, temperature, gravity, and so forth, i.e. not fine-tuned by any means. And it is mind-boggling in the first place that people are surprised to find themselves on a planet that allows for life. Nobody will ever find themselves asking that question on a planet that does *not* allow for life. It is a self-fulfilling, circular, recursive argument which, of course, is and always will be the very trademark of unjustified and wishful thinking, more commonly known as religion.

It genuinely worries me when I hear grown men, educated and civilized men like those on the panel, (apart from Hitchens) speak like mad cultists. It's totally alien to me to hear people talking that way. If you put any of those guys on a street corner in a ragged robe, with long greasy hair, saying exactly the same words you'd cross the road to avoid them, or tell a policeman. They have no answer to Hitchens' arguments which clearly frustrates him because instead they offer nonsense. They are bad faith interlocutors.

When Sam Harris accused Christians of playing tennis without the net, this is what he was talking about. On the one hand they say the father raped his daughter in a dungeon because God gave him free will and it would be a slippery slope to intervene. Then later when Christopher said he was hardwired to love his daughter they said it's because God hardwired/programmed him that way. It's hard to think on your feet when it's 1 vs 5 but I wish he would have pointed out that if God hardwired him to love his daughter then he also hard wired the man to rape and torture his daughter.

There's something I've never understood about how Christopher responded to the moral question, why doesn't he just concede that morality is subjective and part of an evolutionary process. It wouldn't put him on the back foot because surely the point is that modern imperfect humanism is inherently still better than the imaginary objectivity of bronze age religious doctrine, they always seem to work him into a corner with that one.

+Maestro Gee yeah I've wondered something similar, I feel like you could say even less than "subjective part of an evolutionary process". They act like it's a cornering question, but knowing where our morality comes from doesn't seem like an important question.

contactkeithstack exactly, they present it as if it's an argument which somehow damages an atheistic world view but even if it was conceded that our morality is ultimately without any foundation it would prove nothing about the existence or non-existence of a God.

Never thought I would hear this from a Christian at 31:52: “Atheism is for the strong and intelligent. Christianity is for those that are not strong and not intelligent.” Yep. Nailed it. Think about this for a second…Hitchens wasn’t born with all that knowledge…he gained it by being a voracious reader…and he was doing that while these 4 weak and dumb men were in church listening to a revered with a high school education give the same ridiculous sermons. One chose knowledge, the others chose ignorance. So, it’s not that Christians are weak and unintelligent, it’s that they CHOOSE to be weak and unintelligent.
