"Changing Zeitgeist" The Always god-like C. Hitchens
If there are gods, Christopher Hitchens must be one.

Every word, holy:

RE: "Changing Zeitgeist" The Always god-like C. Hitchens
I've read 'God Is Not Great". I think it's a clever polemic,but unscholarly, emotional and often ignorant.

Overall. I've never been overly impressed by Hitchens as a thinker.

I think Dawkins has a brilliant mind,and tend to agree with him,until he goes off on a tangent of personal opinion.

RE: "Changing Zeitgeist" The Always god-like C. Hitchens
To be honest, I've been moved by the speeches of Stephen Fry, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and Lawrence Krauss. Hitchens and Dawkins are great at what they do - giving well reasoned answers to opposing forces, but much of their assertions are based only on emotion. When Dawkins starts talking about evolution, then it gets interesting.

Hitchens is a great debater, however. Dawkins - not so much.
