Is Religion A Force For Good In The World?
Who does not love a good old-fashioned clash between an atheist and a religious convert? The possibilities for awkward silences, blasphemy and dump tables are endless, and one of them used to be prime minister of England.

On one side was a novelist and author Christopher Hitchens, a loud, proud self-declared cancer-stricken writer whose brush with death has done nothing to deny his deep-rooted conviction that God is not great, as he titled his book recent.
On the other was former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, a recent convert to Roman Catholicism who became the straw man to go against the scholar Hitchens in a debate about the existence of a divine being. The pair clashed on Friday at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto for a philosophical debate about the moral of religion.
Surprises? Hitchens, who lives in Washington, DC has had a Christmas tree, as long as he has been a father and observe the Passover. He discovered his Jewish roots late in the family life, his wife, Carol Blue, is also Jewish.
And Blair’s father, Leo, a retired law professor, is a militant atheist. The long-term policy is also revealed in his recently published memoir, a journey: my political life has always been more interested in religion from politics.
For Mr Blair, who converted to Catholicism after leaving office in 2007, religion plays the most important functions, both personally and in their world view.

The Wise One
"He who would do some great thing in this short life, must apply himself to the work with such a concentration of his forces as to the idle spectators, who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity." – John Foster
Tony blair…..PsychoPATH….He isn’t getting into heaven….
What a snake Blair is. He quotes Mohammed “Whoever kills a human being, it is as if he’s killed all mankind” Qran 5:32 Completely misses out the very next verse Qran 5:33 regarding those who make war on allah “they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off” Not convenient to quote that part Tony? …Christopher, your intellect is missed.
Blair rising to give his first rebuttal, around the 26/27 minute mark… He knows there. He knows it is not a debate he can possibly win. Only the barrister in him, and the high brow challenge of taking on hitchens enabled him to proceed with any measure of vigor whatsoever. I admire both men, Sadly, our world is a far worse off place without the presence of Christopher Hitchens. And may the next Christopher Hitchens who comes along, finally rescue the good in God from the clutches of Religion.
True religion is about embracing others different from yourself… and them converting them.
@Clifton100 your either naive, stupid or worse…..
@bridgey1983 I did google it and it’s pathetic that you’re one of those people.
Why did you keep repeating yourself Blair -_-
@Clifton100 “you dont gotta list them all” – i take it English is not your first language.I dont gotta list any of them, pull your head out of your a** and Google tony blair war criminal -it aint hard.
@bridgey1983 I never knew of this, what war crimes (you dont gotta list them all) did he commit?
@platon841 Well, I agree Hich won every step of the way, but I have to mention that if these #’s truly reflect what the attendees’ opinions pre and post were (which I don’t for a moment think is truly accurate), I’d say both Tony and Hitch have something to be happy about, almost equally if we look at the numbers and decide that they are pretty reliable.
Hitchens won this hands down. Blair kept backtracking. He couldn’t actually answer the questions given to him. Deflection is something politicians are good at.
A divine north Korea.
hope Blair is this convincing when he’s sitting in the dock for his WAR CRIMES
Blair giving new meaning to the concept religious apologist.
@KryzMasta Oh I know what you mean. I just don’t attach any great stature to him. And I originally was just joking…
@yoursincerefriend That’s pretty poor, using a dead man to promote your lunatic beliefs in someone called ‘Allah’
@Rendrag1984 Debate resultsPRE-DEBATEPRO: 22% CON:57%UNDECIDED:21%POST-DEBATEPRO: 32% CON: 68%Christopher Hitchens won in the end with a huge gap of 36%, gaining more than two-thirds of the overall vote
@ozmonster1989 very intelligent indeed,transfer this discussion toA Tribute to Christopher Eric Hitchens, a pillar of Atheism /watch?v=Z6DrhT7AmXYdear friend , now its my turn to answer you
Why no video reference or link in the information section to the results of the second vote?
@jacknapier394 Except that he was wrong on the issues of Iraq and Iran.
@yoursincerefriend’The moon is made of cheese.’- No it’s not’Prove to me the moon isn’t made of cheese.’Obviously the above reasoning is fallacious. The onus of proof is on the person who makes the claim. I believe the moon is made of cheese, it’s not other people’s responsibility to prove me wrong, it’s my responsibility to back up my claim with evidence.
f***, I wanted too see what happens with the vote…
@yoursincerefriend No, you are the one masking a claim, I am simply saying you have not proved it. If you want us to argue something, make a claim that is falsifiable (i.e. one which does not require proving a negative) and then I can explain why you are wrong.
@ShouldersofGiants100 you are a liar, you’ve stolen my carno i wasn’t there at that time , i was busy shopping at Mall.prove to me you were shopping2) there is a godno there is no godprove to me
@MastodonManiac He cant say that the world is dumber cause that would mean that we havent lernt anything! And i mean ‘spirit’ in the way of like ‘vibe’ or what ever, but not as in the ‘soul’. And dont tell me im not thinking proerply, thats just rude!!!
