Campaign for a debate between Arcanus & Christopher Hitchens!!!
September 16, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Seriously, this would be the coolest debate ever. Arcanus (forum member and Christian) vs. Hitchens (atheist, drunk, generally awesome guy).

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???

I'm with you.

And LOL @ "Drunk" Hitch said in an interview that he believes there's no such thing as an alcholic! lol

Yeah that would be...interesting lol.

What is Hitches stance on religious "philosophy" though? I've only seen him ridicule religion! lol Smile And point out the fallacies of his opponents of course. Wait! That's all that's required probably - pointing out the fallacies!

I'd fund the campaign. Seriously, I wouldn't know who to put my money on in such an event.

Arcanus will have his hands full trying to reverse the counterattack I'm about to lay down... Smile But I'm sure Hitchens would do it within a cigarette... It is taking me 4 weeks Blush

Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word

I think the strongest opponent I've ever seen against atheism is Jeremy Paxman vs Richard Dawkins the opposition is that weak. It'd certainly be good to see proper opposition.
