Man I love Christopher Hitchens. From the debate, paraphrased:
“we have been homo-sapiens in our current form for 100,000 years. To believe in the Abrahamic religions is to believe that God chose to watch us, arms crossed, not intervening for 96,000 years. Then about 4000 years ago, thought the best course of action would be to intervene in the bronze-age middle east making appearances to stupefied illiterate peasants.”
Fantastic.
