"Does God Exist? Debate between Frank Turek and Christopher Hitchens"
Wed Dec-05-18 08:42 AM by Case_One

          

If you have the time to invest, I think you'd do well to watch this debate that will provide education about both positions.

This is a really great debate between a Turek (a Christian) and Hitchens (an Atheist). Both men make powerful openings statements and the follow-up rebuttals are very keen. The question and answer debate portion is very good too, but you'll notice the difference between the person who answers the questions and the person who sidesteps the question via disrespect, introducing jokes, or trying to change the question so that they can escape the response that would cause them to arrive at a conclusion that is contrary to their initial response. Let the debate show who has the capacity to respond honestly and who chooses to play to the crowd because they cannot betray their alliance. Notice that both men have a chance to ask each other questions but only one ask questions and the other disbands their opportunity because they have nothing. Next, there is an opportunity for the audience to ask a question and response, and even then, there is only one person that honestly answers the questions without trying to play to the crowd via jokes, dismissive responses or out of context answers to direct questions.

I leave this debate for you to arrive at a conclusion of who is prepared and who is honestly ready to have a conversion.
