while i am not a christian i am certainly convinced peter hitchens the brother of the late christopher proved himself to be the second greatest mind i have seen on the q and a panel, after his brother whom i saw live as an audience member with my brother years ago.
while the panel mostly composed of ideological idiots the abc loves to fawn over and tony james loves to defend, hitchens out classed all of them and delivered his final words with the gravitas of an executioner, not only short circuiting his rude, aggressive, ungracious moronic co panellists but also the audience whom were equally as brain dead.
here's some of the transcript, tony jones asks everyone to present their dangerous idea.
TONY JONES: Peter?
PETER HITCHENS: The most dangerous idea in human history and philosophy remains the belief that Jesus Christ was the son of God and rose from the dead and that is the most dangerous idea you will ever encounter.
DAN SAVAGE: I’d have to agree with that.
TONY JONES: Just quickly, because I think you can't really leave it there, why dangerous?
PETER HITCHENS: I can't really leave it there? Because it alters the whole of human behaviour and all our responsibilities. It turns the universe from a meaningless chaos into a designed place in which there is justice and there is hope and, therefore, we all have a duty to discover the nature of that justice and work towards that hope. It alters us all. If we reject It, it alters us all was well. It is incredibly dangerous. It's why so many people turn against it.
now the moronic nasty savage was not expecting this, he was dumbstruck because he wanted to knock christianity for it's sins.
hitchens was vilified for his comments throughout the show, he was interrupted continually, not allowed to comment and basically bullied as the token fall guy.
read the whole transcript, hear what he says, and understand his truth is the truth, even the audience should be ashamed and here's what hitchens said when they hissed and screamed while he spoke.
PETER HITCHENS: While you do this – while you do this I can't talk. While you do that – while you do that I can’t talk and you know it and that's to your – and that’s to your shame because silencing opponents is a very wicked thing to want to do.
