Extended discussion

Craig and Hitchens are engaged in an extended discussion on whether Christianity can be held responsible for things like Auschwitz. Craig holds that one cannot judge a worldview by its adherents that act in contradiction to its basic tenants.

    Okay, didn't Hitchens say earlier that he concurs with Craig's stance on this?

    Caleb,
    It seems that he did!

    Hitchens: "I completely concur with that, but I did note that those evil commands of God are noted in the Bible."

    Hitchens is killing my brain cells.

    But again, how can Hitch ground his claim that these things are truly evil? That is to say, why does he call them evil and not good?

    Well in the pointless--OH! I mean...ahem--"New" Atheism, contradicting oneself in order to take another swing at religion is a perfectly legitimate strategy..

    He can call them evil subjectively - that these are bad for the population. Weird thing is that obviously there were those who disagreed with Hitchens because they went ahead and did it any way.

    Caleb,
    I became a theist of sorts by listening to Jimmi. I still had a long way to go from there!
