Critique of "God is Not Great" by Christoper Hitchens
#44
RE: Critique of "God is Not Great" by Christoper Hitchens
I'm not really understanding your objections.

Sure, he may have phrased some things badly. And no sensible atheist just agrees with everything he said, or claims he was infallible. He made mistakes like everyone else, and could hold strange or unsupported views.

I haven't read the book so I can't comment too much further.

Holy books are mainly nonsense stories, I trust you're not debating that, but we can learn things from them of course. It depends what you're trying to learn as to how detailed your analysis should be and how you should approach it. If you're trying to determine whether a load of magic garbage happened, then the analysis is rather quick.
Feel free to send me a private message.
