1. Debate between Christopher Hitchens and Dinesh D'Souza

I think the article in The Observer doesn't do justice to what I've seen in the video footage. I think the barrage of D'Souza's quasi-thruths are hard to disprove, regarding the assumption that Hitchens would only receive equal time.

Furthermore, the odds of christians versus non-christians were quite stacked I think regarding the applause D'Souza received from his theistic rants. Especially I was struck that D'Souza posed that Hitchens didn't try to disprove God. Whereas D'Souze didn't even defend his existence in the first place! How could a rational human being assume his existence by default? How could he forgo the burden of proof? Christianity needed a prophet for Christ sake!
