| Q&A part II of the Hitchens vs. Turek debate at VCU, VA. Full debate: www.vimeo.com and www.youtube.com Hitchens citates Omar Khayyám, translated by Richard Le Gallienne: "And do you think that unto such as you; A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew: God gave the secret, and denied it me?-- Well, well, what matters it! Believe that, too." Turek answers: god is probable (which is more a deist point and actually contradicts his religion) and hints on something like an argumentum verbosium. Hitchens answers: you need to do better than that if you want to tell us what to do, how we have to behave - the essence of religion. |
