Does the God of Christianity exist, and what difference does it make?

A fascinating debate on "Does the God of Christianity exist, and what difference does it make?" Christianity Today hosts this debate that includes author Christopher Hitchens. His several comments about the Archbishop of Canterbury are pointed - which is troubling.

Note not just what each panelist says, but how they say it.

And listen to Christopher Hitchens carefully - not just his answers, but the questions he asks before he answers.

Note how Hitch speaks relationally while the Christians who says it's about relationship is just making speeches. Also note how powerful it is to ask the questions before answering rather than just answering the questions for five minutes and how powerful one can use story pictures to make the point. Humor is also very important.

Watch it all here.
