Australian TV does for political debate what Gina Rinehart does for windsurfing. Watching Hitchens engaging with these lightweights is like watching Man City versus Perth Glory.

Ya, there is lots of stupid people in the world. Jesus is Santa for adults. It makes people behave even when noone is looking. It works. It keeps them in line. This is why religion works. Let the believers believe. They become homicidal and suicidal without it. Do not doubt the wisdom of the ancient writers.

What a shameful waste of time! Tony whats his name kept interrupting Christopher Hitchens and limited his time to speak but let all the other light weights rabbit on for long periods. He blocked the flow using his position as host and turned this into an embarrasing amateurish school debate run by kids. His self indulgence is extroardinary.

It is a farce to give a panel of 5 an hour to discuss deep questions.

My old boss would often say, " If people weren't stupid, I wouldn't be rich." He was an evangelist.

4 theists, 1 Christopher Hitchens and the theists were easily outnumbered.

Red lady was annoying as hell.

If I could have sat next to one person, on my flight to London in 2012, I would have wanted it to be Christopher Hitchens.

OH HOW WE NEED HIM NOW....FLAWS AND ALL

Nothing really changes. The women of Iran are still persecuted and ignored by western feminists and liberals.

Last ten minutes interesting in the light of recent developments.

Did I count right - 4 to 1 ? Then the theists were unfairly underrepresented against Hitchens.

Walleed looks so young! Well, they all do.

It's hard to comprehend just how stupid most people are. Ironic I know.

Waleed believes his idol Muhammad flew into heaven on a winged horse from Jerusalem.

Waleed Ali is such a smug, smarmy, pious, condescending little rat.

Just want to say Walleed Ali is a wanker

wish i could know what was christopher saying at the ending lol

this dude was unbreakable

Kissinger was a horrid person, the only reason I marched against the war, it turns out. He deserved to be adjudged a war criminal, guilty of murdering more than donald trump.

Parenti shows Hitchens for the hack he is😂😂

Daisy Khan started with the presumption of the validity of her religion where nobody really knows who made all this and then started discussing unity in diversity. The problem was Hitchens simply does not accept it as any more than a fabrication of an illiterate camel merchant and mocks it as plagiarized childishness in its entirety. Daisy Khan has never experienced someone striking at the very root in this way in all the conferences she's been in.

Neither are philosophical, Christopher Hitchens is a neo-platonist in my eyes and bill donohue is an idiot. You are either one of three, a mystic, a skeptic or an objectivist. A mystic believes god and truth are inherent in objects and existence itself. Skeptics believe the senses are deceptive and reason is an illusory faculty. An objectivist believes truth and value can ONLY be known by the senses and reason. You either believe your emotions and faith are a valid method of thinking or you believe a logical process of thought is the only way of validating concepts.

Hitchens' response to the question at 1:18:50 is disappointing and shocking in its naivety. Surely he didn't really believe that the US had suddenly decided to get on the "right side of history" for humanitarian reasons? It's somewhat telling that he never addresses Parenti's points about the US support for Saddam in the years before the Gulf War. I have to conclude, as have others in these comments, that he was completely blinded by his hatred for Islam when it came to his defence of the Iraq debacle.

ABC went from loving Hitch to absolute cunts so fast it was scary

how could you know so little?

52:07 Haha classic Hitchslap 🤣👌..Trust them to put Chris right next to a Jesuit Priest hey? 🫣 ✝️ 🤣🤣

God created Life and Nature, and then took a step back to let it manage itself.

I often come back to Christopher Hitchens talks. In America today Hitchens has proven right about the dangers of power of religion. With the removal of empowerment to women, a corrupt ex Pretendent being empowered as a messenger of God, when it is obvious he is not the religious person he is believed to be and the danger of religion taking over the rule of America.

"the opiet of the people..." lenin or marx. thank you christopher for revealing your true heros. The 100's of millions of victims of atheist regimes would have trouble with your premise that God ruins everything.

"religion can be used...." exactly. it is not God who ruins everything. it is humans who ruin everything. Hitch was an educated, articulate man, but coming to the conclusion that everything humans put her hand/minds to would be good, if God didn't ruin it; that's just foolish.

Yes the young iranian women, are like so many muslims, BRAINWASHED.

I came to the comments to read all the ACTUAL experts correcting with Google searches what these titans of intellect couldn't express in their debate.

Hitchens ❤❤❤

Is this Andre the giant's son? It wouldnt surprise me lol

Please be quite lady- Everyone that has existed

Remember that one time this debate is still awesome. R.i.p. Hitch.

Christopher Hutchins was a great public intellectual. I am wondering what he would writen on Trump.

If you wanna bring up the Salvation Army’s work in New Orleans as an example of the good of Christianity, then let’s take a step back and remember that the very Christian president of the United States at the time decided to do nothing about that so your religious charity doesn’t mean a whole lot to me

Fuck me, Waleed was fucking insufferable even back then, even before The Project years

I don’t understand the point about the Geneva Conventions, they have nothing to do with it. The real question is when and how is it justified and who makes that decision? Should it only be used on a member of ISIS? A suspected member of ISIS? What about a member of ISIS who is also American? Or a suspected member of ISIS who is also American captured in the US? Should politicians decide? What about heads of agencies appointed by politicians?

I am very proud that my country (Australia) funds such great TV programs such as Q and A which host these fair debates. It really strengthens the democracy and pluralism of our country. This unbiased mechanism of displaying "open dialogue" is something that is sorely lacking in the modern world, especially in the US.

Sally is pretty .....dim. The other lady is annnoyed she is only dim.

You ambushed him! No bloody wonder he never appeared on the ABC again!!!

Hitch banged Sally after this show ended

The only time Whleed was smart.

“It’s an insult to the women of Iran” absolutely Christopher, thank you for speaking up.

William is deeply deluded

That terrorist waleed is such a pathetic liar.

Wow, the Muslim speaking at 34:10. Has he not read the Quran! That book IS a centralised authority, the one the Muslim world lives and dies by!
