Christopher Hitchens on The Daily Show
John Stewart interviewed Christopher Hitchens last night. Hitchens has a new book out called "God in NOT Great."
One of Hitchen's beef with religion is that all the major religions, and even gods that came before Christianity, hate the birth canal. Even Buddha was conceived out of the side of a goddess, not the birth canal.
Hitches goes on to say that (paraphrasing) it's the fear of death and sex that fuels religious belief. I think there was a third thing too but I forget what it was. It might have been the foreskin. Hitchens wondered why the god of the bible has an obsession with it.
Anyway, the show's website might have a video of the interview in a few days. I'll report back.
