What we have here is a blunder for Hitchens, how cannot get over the fact that the church is not power-hungry. He seems to have a terrible misunderstanding of Christian doctrine. I truly love how he botches Dostoevsky and slams Heaven as an amusement park…he is classically placating to people’s sense of justice. I wonder when people will realize that Hitchens is nothing more than an overrated journalist who labels himself a New Atheist when really he just hates God.

From this clip Hitchens appears a bumbling fool!

Yeah, in Hitchens’ defense he’s not a philosopher. He doesn’t even have a first or second-order understanding of Theology or Philosophy. But as I always say…if you’re going to dabble in something you best be prepared to back your claims up. I like how he tries to change the topic by saying that the person’s question didn’t make grammatical sense or there was some word used improperly.
