Hitchens has better things to do with his time.

Oh I've seen that. Enjoyable interview. The guy doesn't seem like a moron, he just talks like one lol.

The thing I like about it is he asks the right questions.

Yeah yeah Arcanus is a great debater. In fact I'd say he was a master debater. (sorry couldn't resist. had to be said) He is greatly articulate and a master at reconizing the fallicies.

But in the end, bottom line, he's still wrong. :p
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

Now who wouldn't want to see these two articulate and logical debaters take up podiums opposite one another and debate philosophy for hours on end?

Who's with me???

Bored and cruising the forums to see what new threads have been started, I nearly choked on my coffee when I saw the title of this one! Good Lord!

I would, sure. But like Eilonnwy said, Hitchens probably fancies himself as having better things to do than engage some unknown and unremarkable Canadian who cannot finance a debate. (I wonder if he charges the same rate Dawkins does.)

Maybe it costs more depending on the length of the debate?

Enjoy your 2 nanoseconds of debate Arcanus! And us onlookers had better make sure we dont *ahem* miss it.

Yeah, I could probably afford to finance that... Big Grin

I would love to see a debate between John Frame and Christopher Hitchens.
