Metaxas and Hitchens on the Paula Zahn Show |
by Catherine Larson |
Eric Metaxas, author of Amazing Grace and Everything You Always Wanted to Know About God was on Paula Zahn's show debating Christopher Hitchens, author of God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. You can watch the debate here. Part of the subject in question was the late Rev. Jerry Falwell.
Also, on Hitchens. There was a good debate on Christianity Today the other day between Hitchens and Doug Wilson. Check it out.
Finally, Chuck Colson posted yesterday on Washington Post/Newsweek's blog called On Faith, on a question pertaining to Hitchens's book. The question was: "Is religion man-made?" If you haven't discovered On Faith yet it is quite interesting. Each week they pose a different subject relating to religion to an extremely diverse set of panelists. They each answer the question and have it posted to this site. It is fascinating to see people from so many different vantage points answering the same question.
And then there's Rod Dreher, quoting theologian Charles Moore on a recent debate with Dawkins and Hitchens and some Christians. The post, "Cleverness as a false virtue," is reminiscent of some thoughts I had earlier on "If You Can't Beat Them Embarrass Them."
