Hitchens on Evil

Hitchens notes a man who kept his wife and children prisoner and who raped beat and tortured them for 25 years. So, am I to conclude that he was doing something that should be considered justified- that their horrific suffering serves a purpose?

  5. Again, no sufficient or consistent treatment of the Christian doctrine on God's judgment, its nature and extent and its distribution...

  6. The funny thing is he got away with it for 25 years. If he would've died before being caught or never being caught then he wouldn't have been doing anything wrong from a relativist standpoint. He avoided the social disadvantages to his behavior.

  8. Hitchen is assuming an objective morality but not providing an objective source for it.

  9. Guess we're going to have to wait for a video at some distant point in the future to figure out what Craig answered.
