Fry/Hitchens Discussion
Hi,
I’ve just listened to a very interesting debate (more of a discussion) between Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens:
As you can see from the description on richarddawkins.net, the discussion is about the idea of being able (or unable) to speak freely about religion in its various forms. It’s very easy to listen to, and nowhere near as hostile as the debate I watched (which was widely dealt with by the media) between Hitchens and George Galloway on Iraq.
I appreciate Hitchens’ views, even though I am largely ignorant of a lot of the relevant politics and history which he frequently brings up. Fry is noticeably softer in his approach than Hitchens is, but no less articulate in communicating his arguments. If you’re at all interested in the subject matter, then I highly recommend a listen.
