Any anti-theists in the house?

Hitchens always comes across as a 'computer says no' type of bloke and Brand started off ok and then descended in to his trademark 4 year old on a sugar rush routine which gets wearing after a while.

I think you need to do a little more research Gavv. 'A computer says no' kind of bloke. Of course at times he is going to come across repetitive, because he is continually battling the 'non thinking' people's Christian values and their relentless arguments. He was a crusader and a very brave man. I've never seen him 'get owned' by anyone. He is the cleverest and best polemicist I have ever witnessed.

Frankly as far as Russell Brand is concerned, there are more than enough reasons to hate him with a passion. But you can't argue he destroyed Peter Hitchens with ease.

Was that intentional irony or just a slip of the tongue?

He didn't destroy Hitchens he just wouldn't let him get a word in and having a born again christian preaching morals to an ex drug addict is typical of the church's deluded attitude to the modern world, we as a race really need to move on from this 'religion' thing or we are never going break free from our fear of 'god' and the world will just end up swallowed whole by war-mongering fanatics and extreme right wing whacko's.

Need you really ask haha.

I am in complete agreeance with you on the moving on from religion. Atheism is the fastest growing belief system in the USA, so lets hope it follows on from there.

he looks like the devil if you ask me

Great man!!

To Christians he may as well be. Because to my knowledge I've never seen anyone even challenge him and get one over on him, let alone take him to pieces in debate.

So I suppose, if you yourself are a Christian or person of religious faith, then he may well appear as the Devil. Don't let it test your faith though......

I go to church every week. I use my brain to form my opinions. I do not share those of Christopher Hitchens although I can see why he had them given how he interpreted religious wars, bad events etc.

But don't tar all Christians with the same brush if you happen to see an arrogant or ignorant few portrayed on US television.

You're entitled to your opinion and that's all cool with me. Some people need faith.

My mum is a born again Christian has been for 20 years, goes to a Baptist Church every week, worship practice every Friday night and whilst I love her as any son should do, she is one of the more delusional people that I have ever met.

Believes the world is between 6,000 and 12,000 years old. Thinks Dinosaurs are only a few thousand years old. Doesn't believe in evolution, you get my drift hopefully.....

Even if you eradicated the world of religion, it still wouldn't change anything other than the reason for the war. Remember that Kim Jong Il, Lenin, Stalin, Mao etc were all atheists. Millions died because of them.

Man will kill for whatever reason be it power, money, greed, hatred etc. Unless you address the cause you'll never stop war.
