mmmcannibalism Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I watched some of it; after about 20 minutes I got tired of hearing "but some people do good stuff cuz of god ergo god is coolerific" type logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2046 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yeah, Tony Blair's argument was literally: "Altruism altruism altruism, faith faith, altruism. Yay God!" Hitchens had a great opening argument, going right for the throat of mysticism and altruism and all the destruction it causes, but unfortunately his counter arguments lapsed into "But we don't need religion to be altruistic, we can do that because we 'just know' altruism is the way to go!"

Kane Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Blair was out of his league. Hitchens is far beyond the usual pedanticism of convinced Catholics. And even if Hitchens thinks altruism is the way to go, we certainly wouldn't be worse off taking up his position on the issue of God and religion. One step at a time, as the saying goes.

Daniellecs Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Nothing special, just happened to be him in this scenario he got into Israeli air territory and his airplane didn't answer to us in the radio, so I had to send someone for a dog fight then they found out it's him and they came back.
