Ah, the old christian tradition of asserting things with no evidence whatsoever. Pell claims that christianity was responsible for eradicating slavery and moving towards equality, yet it was christians who kept slavery and the degradation of women going for 2,000 years.

I enjoyed that so here's part two...

It was a good watch. Naturally, Dawkins spoke on facts and this Pell fucker talked about nonsense.

Dawkins actually turns to the presenter and says "nice unbiased audience you've got me here".

That's what I hate with these programmes. The show will always fill the audience with people who will support who they want it to support so it looks like they are winning the argument when the audience suddenly starts clapping because he's said "gawd is real".
