conix, Now you go after Hitchen's reasoned and rational explanations for his position
by assuming the arrogance that only a believer in religion could muster.
"There is something fundamentally repulsive when someone mocks someone's religious beliefs."
Your authoritarian position that disagreement with your belief in fairy-tales constitutes mocking
of your fairy-tale world is as repugnant to dialogue and progress as one could possibly get.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
