I was going to clip a few of these separately, but it would be redundant. As a few clippers have noticed, atheism has gained some popularity recently, and Chris Hitchens is the latest to ride that wave.
Mr. Hitchens is slightly different than Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, which is nice to see. Hitchens is actually pro Iraq War and has recently become an American citizen (he's English).

The online debate with Doug Wilson looks promising.

BTW, It's not really National Christopher Hitchens week. It's just that everywhere you go, there's Hitchens.

The question they’re debating is: “Is God Great?”  Which doesn’t make much sense to me for an atheist to answer because the question itself is a moot point.
