Here's video of the Christopher Hitchens - Al Sharpton debate.
Maybe I'm more thoroughly secular than I thought I was (in spite of my Catholic upbringing), but...geez, Al Sharpton was ordained at the age of nine?! What the hell is it with religious folk? Nine years old and you can be ordained, nine years old and you can be married to a Prophet?
And Sharpton...my god, the very first thing he falls back on is the old chestnut of "If there's no God, then the powerful can do anything they want..." Is this still the most reliable argument the Believers feel they can bring to bear?
