Somehow, this completely escaped our notice

Posted by: Martin

Christopher Hitchens debated Marvin Olasky in Austin last night, and for some reason, no one in the local atheist community — neither in the ACA nor in the CFI-Austin group — seems to have known it was going to happen at all. According to the brief and rather shallow article in the Statesman, it sounds like it was one of those "lots of heat but little light" affairs, with Hitchens deilvering his usual acid-tongued snark (which can be quite entertaining in its way; I'm about three chapters into God Is Not Great and am enjoying it much more than I anticipated), and Olasky whining about what a big meanie Hitchens is. If anyone reading this actually did manage to go see them, we'd love a detailed report.
