Complete video at: http://fora.tv/fora/showthread... Author 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. -- NYPL Christopher 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."

Whoever doesn't need God, doesn't need to be right either. The evidence shows there is intelligent design because no real information is ever added. Evolution is nothing more than speculation and conjecture neither of which is true.

"The swedish have a morality just as any other people have morality. " And they don't need God for that... therefore, faith in God does not mean morality..

What does people raping have to do with God? The swedish have a morality just as any other people have morality. Rape comes from those who do not really believe God's word because if they did believe in God, they would not be raping anyone. God exists whether we think we need Him or not.

I do not worship myself. I would only worship one I deemed worthy.

People abort because of many reasons... I'm not going into an abortion discussion, sorry... so how does that prove the necessicity of a deity? most people in sweden are atheist, but you don't see people raping each other in the streets...

The reason people abort is because of fear. Fear means someone will suffer and the most severely affected afterwards is the individual that aborts. It does great harm to the one who aborts.

The reverend is mistaken. Atheists doesn't necessary void of Idols and Super Beings. Only they are not Gods. Instead of worshiping Gods, atheists worship themselves.

I didn't say that, I said I do not have a definitive position. Prima facie I'm against, but I think we need to legalize abortion, when I consider both arguments...

You can't walk on both sides of the fence.

If you ever get to heaven, you can take those things up with Shaul himself. I respect the man.
