Christopher Hitchens vs Al Sharpton on Atheism and God - The Full Debate fora.tv 1 hr 29 min - May 7, 2007 Christopher Hitchens, who is the author of "God Is Not Great", debates Al Sharpton at the New York Public Library (NYPL) on May 7 2007. Debate topics include God, religion, and atheism. Debate moderated by Jacob Weisberg of Slate magazine. "Taking on possibly the greatest issue of our time - the malignant force of religion in the world - Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion through a close and learned reading of the major religious texts, citing numerous historical instances in which sexual repression and outrageous acts of violence have been committed in the name of God. He argues for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix." -- from Hitchens' new book "God Is Not Great - How Religion Poisons Everything". atheist christianity mormon mitt romney religion jesus bible christ messiah old new testament messianic holy judaism judeo jewish faith church evangelical evangelism televangelist secular moral morals morality ethical ethics islam muslim complete full debate christian humanism agnostic religious fundamentalism fundamentalist secularity
