(As this is a Power Of Ten Episode, this will be a NSFW discussion, therefore age restricted.)

This week’s episode marks 8 years since we lost a collection of sentient chemicals known as “Christopher Hitchens”. He was acerbic, abrasive, cocksure, direct, and troublesome in the extreme to people on the other side of a debate with him; most especially theists.

BUT – he was willing to not only test his ideas on topics, but completely flipped his positions when he found out he was wrong.

We need more people like him these days. We need VOCAL people like him these days.
