Huzzah for Hitchens

This week's episode features one of Trent's intellectual heroes: Christopher Hitchens.  Hitchens was a famed atheist, journalist, and public intellectual.  He lived from 1949-2011.  

Trent describes how Hitchens had such a monumental impact on his departure from Christianity, including some classic moments from Hitchens' debates with Christians.  Joel shares his praise and criticism of the New Atheists and atheist arguments in general, including their tendency to dogmatize about quite complicated matters.  Trent closes with some thoughts on how even Christians are atheistic about all other religions but their own.
