Sharpton vs Hitchens AKA The End Of The World
Written by Mark Harris on June 28th, 2007So I just was flipping through the channels and came upon Al Sharpton vs. Christopher Hitchens on Hardball debating religion. Al Sharpton was the voice of rationality and Christopher Hitchens was on this tirade about how “religions rots everything.”
It was one of the most amazing displays I have ever seen as Hitchens basically looses it and goes off on how everything American society has been destroyed by religion, how religous people are deluded and dangerous, and how the atheists have the keys to America’s future. Sharpton then goes on to point by point eviscerate Hitchens.
I stood there verbally rooting for Al Sharpton and then stepped back and realized I stepped into some twisted alternate reality. Wow.

Some evisceration examples, please?
I seem to have seen a different show than you did.
And the phrase is “Religion Poisons Everything.”
Betcha haven’t read the book, and, betcha were going to respond “And I’m not going to!”

…….what i saw was that Hitchens was the voice of reason, Sharpton and the host were blustering idiots, outdone in every respect by Hitchens.
Strange that we were watching the same thing, ey?!
