JesusH: "Why do we hate the God concept so much ? And why is it that we don't hate Hindu gods like we hate the Christian and Muslim one ?"

Because Hindu creationism isn't being taught in our schools, and Buddhist monks don't fly planes into our buildings.

The fundie was completely out of his league. He even went so far as to justify the jewish led genocide of various tribes in the middle east on basis that the already present tribes were "the terrorists" of their times. I half expected Hitchens to say, "At this point you are talking completely out of your ass." He was too kind to the segmented being beside him.

Hitchen's rebuttal of Pascal's wager never gets old either.

Universities produce more idiocy than churches?

I think Hitchen's was letting him damn himself in not responding. I've noticed that he only responds clearly when the questions are meaningful, and lets the listeners dismiss sheer stupidity on their own.

As for the bible question: which book? Every book of the bible to my knowledge has a bit of stupidity and irrationality. Some a lot more than others.

Aiyer: ".I won't be surprised if he makes racist remarks. It is time we ignore him."

I have never heard him make a racist remark. He deeply hates fundamentalism. The absolute hatred of ideals is not the same thing as racism.

6. Richard Dawkins at The Sunday Times Oxford Literary Festival

Was McGrath speaking in Lipsum for most of that debate or was it just me?

Professor of Historical Theology at Oxford does not believe he is a proper authority to speak about more than one version of God?!

At least know I can classify myself as a level 7 in regard to how much time I should invest in considering reading his books.
