I wouldn't be surprised if this debate has already been posted in this thread, what 37 pages of it, but here is an interesting one between renowned atheist Christopher Hitchens and Christian writer Dinesh D'souza. It's just over an hour and a half long. Is Christianity the Problem?

Scipio Africanus (2/4/2008) Four legs good, two legs bad. Where, please, asked the little piggy, is the way to god? Is Dutch that similar to Norwegian? I knew that Danish, Swedish, Norwegian were pretty much mutually intelligible, but was not aware of Dutch or German were that close too? -No, it's not similar.

Black Owl (2/4/2008) Scipio..., spend some time in Lancaster, Pa. German and Dutch are almost as one. Customs, religion, crafts, folk lore, etc. Search out the PA. Dutch. That is so wrong. Dutch and German are NOT one. NOT NOT NOT! Understand ? NOT!

[trolling]What? You mean Germany's superior soccer separates the 2?[/trolling] (I have no clue what I'm talking about, but it seemed potentially like a good jab. )

-Damn my uber derail skills! Anyone want to take a jab at this: -I would rather credit Martin Luther King, as well as many other people who were crucial to the civil rights cause, including communists, secularists, etc. What I want to point out is that if the civil rights movement occured thanks to religion then there would not have been a civil rights movement(I expect this sentence to be misunderstood). ?
