Debate between Christopher Hitchens and his brother Peter Hitchens, Peter representing religion, mostly Christianity, against Christopher's atheism. Again I'm impressed with Christopher's identification of Roman Catholicism in the murderous totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. tHIS STARTS ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF INTO THE DEBATE:

pETER DID A DECENT JOB OF POINTING OUT THE PERSECUTIONS OF CHURCHES IN THESE REGIMES BUT OVERALL i WAS DISAPPOINTED IN HIS RESPONSES. wHAT IS NEEDED IS A GENUINELY pROTESTANT WORLDVIEW AND HIS POSITION IS FAR FROM SHARP. hE TACITLY ACCEPTS rOMAN cATHOLICISM AS cHRISTIANAND DOESN'T CHALLENGE IT AT ALL. cHRISTOPHER IS RIGHT TO POINT TO IT AS COMPLICITG UIN ALL THESE ATROCITIES, BUT THE MISTAKE IS TO EQUATE THAT WITH "RELIGION." rOMAN cATHOLICISM IS THE totalitarian Antichrist agent in the world and has been for over a thousand years. The Reformation gae it a good punch and weakened it, but now Protestantism has lost its perspective and its comibng back. Peter should have challeneged Romanismm from a Protestant point of view and he did not. That leaves the impression that we're talking about "rreligoin" that includes Protestantism. But we're not.
pROTESTANTISM SOUNDS LIKE JUST ANOTHER SECT BUT THE REFORMATION REINSTATED THE TRUE BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONS OF cHRISTIANITY. rOMAN cAATHOLICISM WAS THE USURPER, THE gREAT aPOSTASY, THE REVIVED rOMAN eMPIRE, THE SEAT OF THE aNTICHRIST, WHICH WAS RECOGNIZIED BY THOUSANDS OF cHRISTIANS ALL DURING ITS REIGN IN THE "hOLY rOMAN eMPIRE." tHE rEFORMATION BROUGHT BACK GENUINE cHRISTIANITY. THIS PERSPETIVE HAS BEEN SADLY, TRAGICALLY, LOST
