Hitchens - second session

Hitchens noted that his to original challenges stand, that apartheid had its basis in the Dutch Reformed Church, in Nazi Germany prayers were said every year on Hitler's birth, and the first accord of the Axis was signed with the Vatican and the third member of the Axis believed the Emperor was a god.

    and we would like to apologize for the crusades too. Church history is quite a tarnish on the God we serve.

    Craig isn't defending the historical mistakes made by groups of people who claimed to be Christians. He's arguing for the existence of the Christian God. Hitchens just doesn't like religion.

    I think the value of sheer number of his objections to religion must be confused in his mind with the true force of any of them and consequently all of them. He has a million and one bad reasons to not believe in God.

    Hitchen's is smoking something highly illegal.

    Apartheid did not have it's roots in the Dutch Reform Church, but rather in Nazi Germany (Verwoerd, the architect of Apartheid, studied psychology in pre-war ermany). Yes the DRC did agree with apartheid, but other Church groups in South Africa denounced apartheid as heresy from the getgo. The DRC ended up leaading South Africa out of apartheid when they realised they were wrong.

    Yes the Vatican signed an agreement with the Vatican, but it was an agreement of two powers who didn't like each other.
