Wow! Two people who's opinions I could care less about are debating on something neither is capable of grasping?
I am so somewhere else. I started getting Sci Fi in HD last week. Can't wait for BSG and the Doctor!!!!!
The debate is interesting and fun to watch even if you don't agree with either of the debaters. Both are sharp and full of wit.
I think that Christopher Hitchens won the debate, but Al Sharpton had an interesting angle which Hitchens seemed almost caught off guard by... the idea that even though Hitchens titled his book
God is not Great, the main arguments in the book are arguments against religion, not theism. Pretty interesting stuff. Ultimately, though, Sharpton seems to run out of points to argue and ends up more or less repeating himself through the last half of the debate.
Despite the fact that Sharpton is reviled here at CC, I could see many believers here cheering him on in this debate against Hitchens.
There was a funny moment after the debate. After the debate, people in the audience were allowed to take turns asking questions. The first person to the microphone used the opportunity to insult Hitchens, his penis, and England.
