Complete video at: http://fora.tv/fora/showthread... Christopher Hitchens debates the Reverend Al Sharpton on the question of whether morality can exist in the absence of God.-----A Debate: God Is Not Great with Al Sharpton and Christopher Hitchens.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. -- NYPLChristopher Hitchens is an author, journalist and literary critic. Now living in Washington, D.C., he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Nation and Slate; additionally, he is an occasional contributor to many other publications.Al Sharpton Jr. is a Pentecostal minister, a political activist, civil rights activist and film actor. In recent years, Sharpton has also become a perennial candidate in his quest for the Democratic Party's nomination for President of the United States. Author of "Go and Tell Pharaoh: The Autobiography of the Reverend Al Sharpton."

I don't think he really answered the question either. I think we get so cault up in his wonderful usage of pros and verbage that it doesn't hit you until much later and you say to yourself: "hey, he didnt answer the question". I do agree with a lot of his points even if I do believe in a higher power. I figured we have a food chain & there fore someone or something just naturally has to be above us as well. We are to simple minded to be at the very top. They for voted Bush for peeks sake! :)

If you honestly think he answered the question, then you are in fact the dumb one. The question was "In the absence of God, where does one base morality", Hitchens didn't think of answering the question for there is no answer in atheism. Materialism is nihilism in disguise, the modern atheist are just to afraid to admit it.

Dang, I never knew how stupid Al Sharpten was! People speak of him so highly, but when I see him here, he sounds like a bloody moron! This man is one of the most blithe I have ever seen speak publicly, even surpassing Mr Bush!
