This debate exemplifies how much charisma helps one’s point. Hitchen’s opponent has valid points, but his presentation puts me to sleep. Humor, wittiness, sarcasm…..goes a long way to making an audience more receptive to listening to you.

Hitch wins.

55:02 Hitchen's definition of Evil is so.... accurate. It's amazing how Eloquent he was.

I really want to interfere and rescue the little girl that the producers engaged to reenact the scenes with Dr, Money. i hope against hope that they filmed the sequences differently than it appears and then edited it later, Hell, they could have used animation or still photos and voice over. Did this young girl's parents even read the script? I hope that this young girl was not emotionally and psychologically injured. Damn! How is this documentary not actually committing child abuse to illustrate child abuse! NO DISCLAIMER, NO TRIGGER WARNINGS. NO POSTING OF HOTLINE PHONE NUMBERS TO CALL! FAILING TO INCLUDE A WARNING and INTERVENTION HOTLINE CONTACT INFO IS IRRESPONSIBLE, UNETHICAL and IMMORAL.

Yup. I just read it, then watched the film. Dostoevsky in a nutshell!

British people debate better than Americans.

Rewatching all of hitch vids again. Can't help it you don't know me.😁

Such a misrepresetation of "the big bang"! It doens't reach time zero, we don't know what happened in time zero, maybe energy is eternal and there was another universe from same energy before. "Big bang" does not represent universe just popping out from nothing and one who gets it that much wrong should not be valued as "philosopher"!

Olasky cites the fact that Diane Sawyer once said the phrase, “Oh my god,” as though that makes some kind of point. Oooof. 🤨🙄

can you help me sleep pls, appreciate it

First of all Martin Luther King stole his speeches and this was already proven from other speech writers he was called a known fraud by his own college, and the Dalai Lama the reason why he lost his country was because he was a sadist who would pluck the eyes out of those who he deemed the enemy the Dalai Lama is actually a sadist and a psychopath seriously if you have any integrity at all Christopher Hitchens has already won this argument

Self serving Dr Money! Unforgivable!

There are too many weird things about the circumcision

McGrath’s obnoxious demeanour is only out classed by his word salad of utter gibberish..,

Who after seeing this blames the parents for screwing up their twins?!? I definitely do.

Religion, fast talking snake oil sales for the slowest of thinkers, mainly Republicans these days

Observe the truth! Science is just that! I can’t believe anyone would support money in his god complex

“The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries, that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion. It has been the most dishonourable belief against the character of the divinity, the most destructive to morality, and the peace and happiness of man, that ever was propagated since man began to exist. It is better, far better, that we admitted, if it were possible, a thousand devils to roam at large, and to preach publicly the doctrine of devils, if there were any such, than that we permitted one such impostor and monster as Moses, Joshua, Samuel, and the prophets, to come with the pretended word of God in his mouth, and have credit among us.” THOMAS PAINE

would somebody please interrupt and remind the antagonist in this debate that Vladimir Putin cited with the Russian Orthodox church and agreement to attack a Sovereign Nation Ukraine

1:12:33 what could be more violent than creating an eternal hell (better described as ovens) for people who don’t believe?!

There are still many pedophiles out there who call themselves medical professionals they’re performing the same surgeries on these children

Dr Money will be answering to Almighty God.

because this was held in Texas I don't think Hitchens converted any republican idiots

I think that it’s a grave mistake to worship ANYTHING.😊 Respect-okay. Admiration-good. But not worship.

There are still a million dr moneys now. It shows how little science really knows

This is such a tragedy. So darn sad. The money guy is evil

This documentary would be banned on today’s television.

Whatever you want to say about the past, religious people weren't boring. Hitch exposed how boring and prosaic they've become, like almost everything else in modernity.

Holy shit This was like Mike Tyson beating up a school boy…. Hitch TKO’d goofy beard young man in second round He misunderstood the whole focus of the debate

Pure poison.

This Dr is disgusting and pure evil... Pedophile in disguise.

This conversation is meaningful. Maybe folks are afraid to part with ancient beliefs,and worry as their friends condemn them. One may stay friends by not upsetting them,I personally understand that being truthful will free us to find company with those amongst us who engage in mutual respect. Very good video. I love hearing both sides, It makes me aware of my identity and solidifies my being secular,agnostic ready!

3 by 5 cards?

There's a special place in hell for Dr. Money

Wasmt that guy on Monty pythons flying circus?

Olaskey misses the point. Hitchens believes that religion poisons everything because of where it comes from. The human mind. It keeps people from thinking and can justify anything , good or bad, using their beliefs. Just look at how religion is being used today. Also, to Olaskys point about religious people helping kids, you don’t need religion to be a good moral person. Why? Can’t non religious people take good care of orphans? You don’t need religion to be moral.

Holy ow McGrath stop bobbin and weaving the entire time. I also have never seen someone so literally talk down their nose the way he does.

Alister is pure dirtiness for the so-called Prince of Peace. The Book of Revelation clearly teaches that those whose name was not written in the Lamb's book o life were thrown on the Lake of fire. On all Christian dirtiness Alister McGrath knew this but in more shameless dirtiness he knew that the vast Majority of Christians who also know of the Lake of Fire would lie right along with him.

Oh my mama heart is broken right now. If it happened to my son, idk what i would do. John hopkins helped diagnose my rare cancer. I trust every word they say so why wouldn't this mother do the same? I cant throw shade at her bc as a mother, you ALWAYS want to do right by your kids.

the very fact that every time examples of biblical/religeous violence is condemned rather than faithfully accepted by the religeous proponents proves Higgens’ point that good is not something dictated by religious morality but by the empathy of human nature

8:50 makes me begin understanding why there's so many religious Trump supporters. They want dictatorship. They pray for it. They just don't understand it as such.

How could a mother trust a monster with their child.

Will someone just commercialize the damn crow boxes so we can all buy them??

this is before the time bbc was actually not a left wing shithole

Why did Hitchens give the time of day to this creep?

I know I am not going to live forever and neither are you, but until my furlough here on earth is revoked, I’d like to elbow aside the established pieties and raise my tumbler 🥃 of Johnnie Walker Black high above my head in honor of the brilliant intellect and oratory that was Christopher Hitchens, his thought provoking courageous ideas and opinions will enshrine him forever amongst the giants of reason. I sorely miss the gorgeous bastard.

my heart goes out to linda, she obviously suffered from severe gender dysphoria to go to the extent of mutilating her own genitals. She's clearly intelligent and had an impeccable work ethic only to be denied simply for her gender identity. People can be so cold. I'm sending Love to all of my Trans sisters and I'm praying for us all!

Hitchen’s wins this debate and it’s not even close.

OK I get shocked, and probably that's was the idea, it remember me when I watched Devilman Crybaby and get disgusted, they show how it can be disgusted and problematic instead of romantic and luxurious, great work for the animator

Thank you, I agree, I started to feed my crows in my local area, and started to appreciate them for who they are, I wanted to connect with them and relate to them and respect their intelligence. They started to come to me in my dreams, they even told me that they could do search and rescue in conflict zones. It reminded me of the rats trained to find land mines in Africa. The crows were telling me they could help humans find survivors in earthquake and bomb strike disaster zones in urban environments, because they have special senses and can detect an electromagnetic signature fields through barriers like walls or other opaque environments like other species like eels, sharks and platypus or dogs. So they really do have intelligence beyond our own, they would be appreciate being able to share as long as we can respect them for who they are and their skills, they are very intelligent creatures. I would personally love to be able to do research into this field, if I could.
