Hi Selma, The cat is out of the bag. Now we know who you were thinking about (Kevin Saldanha) when you were watching this debate.:=)) Likely others have seen the debate on You-Tube, now that the link has been posted on Goanet and elsewhere. I especially liked Dinesh's argument towards the end of the debate about atheists chaffing under the Do's and Don'ts of religion. And thus atheism is a moral rebellion against God (rather than a theological or intellectual one). An small example of this rebellion (to the Do's and Dont's) was seen in the posts on "consensual sex" on Goanet from the same group of individuals. Yet none had any arguments when the social / legal (non-religious) reasonings against "consensual sex" were presented. Dinesh's comparison of the "moral chaffing" of atheists is similar to the point I made on Goanet. This was about the chronic Saturday night 'bebdo' who claims God does not exists. This because the bebdo finds it too difficult to attend church on Sunday. OK! Christopher Hitchens like other atheists / agnostics / humanists etc. etc. have read a few smart books .... while sipping on their martinis.:=)) And as written, many think he was doing it during the debate.:=))
Kind Regards, GL ----------- Carvalho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, well, thanks to Kevin Saldanha, I too watched this debate. As an agnostic I, ofcourse, found snarly Hitchens to be a powerhouse but I must admit our Goan bhau Dinesh held his own. V'tius, I'm buying the book anyway. --- Gilbert Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Over the weekend, I had the chance opportunity to watch a nationally > televised debate of David vs Goliath proportion.
