"Likewise, the historical Jesus clearly caused quite a stir."Funny. If that were true, extrabiblical accounts of Jesus' life wouldn't have had to have been forged in 324 AD."I don't think there has ever been much of any evidence that a Jesus of Nazareth did not exist"There's no evidence that a "Brian of Nazareth" didn't exist, either. You can't let a story act as its own validation; such thought is intellectually dishonest.
Wow you Christians are so persecuted aren't you! You're just the weak little kids cowering at the feet of the big bad Atheists from the way you talk.I don't know if you just got back from your space trip, But you know what? Christians have taxless insane asylums on just about every corner of America preaching death and destruction to millions of people on as many corners as possible re-affirming their superstitious beliefs of disturbing stories of hell and damnation and devils and eternal suffering and ramming them down the throats of unsuspecting children.Its is because of Christians that the GOP have had the majority of the political power in this country for the last 8 fvcking years so I think, wait...yes that's correct, you are todays grand prize winners of a lifetime supply of "Shut The f**k Up!" It goes great with pork and and hot air!Believe whatever you like, but if you want me to believe it then provide evidence or expect mockery and ridicule. Do not expect polite debate. Religion has been given too much liberty to murder and enslave humans while hidden in the garb of "Faith". It and whoever believes it does not deserve to pick the fecal matter from my ass. Politeness is out the door by far by now. I don't give a damn what brand of bulls**t anyone believes until those beliefs begin to turn into laws and campaign platforms, you've overstepped the boundry separating church from state.Thats what happening in this country. Don't expect politeness, Nutbars.It is a chilling fact that most of the world's leaders believe in nonsensical fairytales about the nature of reality. They believe in Gods that do not exist, and religions that could not possibly be true. We are driven to war after war, violence on top of violence to appease madmen who believe in gory mythologies.These men are called Christians, Muslims and Jews.
I believe in god, but I do not believe that these so called "preachers" that are tele-evangelists have any business preaching the word of the lord. They are so fake and only out there "preaching" to brainwash true believers to get ahold of their money. People like Pat Robertson are more and likely destined to go to the firey place below since they sin more than they believe.

Agreed, Hitchens is a smug. But I find many of his arguments very compelling (excluding Iraq) and he is always fun to watch when he debates.
