If there are gods, Christopher Hitchens must be one.

Every word, holy:

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.

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.
