I am starting this thread here and not in the Movie, TV section due to the topics raised. If a mod disagrees, then feel free to move it

Some great topics raised.

I thought Hitchens spoke very well along with Waleed Aly. It makes such a difference to a conversion when people can argue using reason and logic and not emotion.

There is also an article about Christopher Hitches and his upcoming talk at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House tomorrow night in SMH today.

Has anyone read his book, God Is Not Great? Is it worth reading?

 

[Hux]

Yes it is. You can sense his urbanity and unemotional logic. He asks a lot of pertinent questions, which the religious take to be impertinent. its worth getting for that alone.

Great book along with The God Delusion.
