Recall God is Not Great, Christopher Hitchens’ attack on Christianity and religion in general? It was one of several high-profile atheist books that came out last year. Well, tonight, Hitchens will be debating his brother (a Christian and journalist), and the debate will be broadcast live on the web. Here’s the promotional blurb:

They’ll be debating “faith, politics, war, and culture”—in other words, pretty much everything. If you’re familiar with either Hitchens’ writing, you know this should be a pretty interesting event. It looks as if you can tune into the web broadcast at 7:30 pm (Eastern time) at this page. I’ll be watching and hope to share comments afterwards; if you happen to catch it, feel free to use the comment section below to voice your opinion (or link to your blog, if you blog about it).

Note to my fellow west Michiganders: the debate is going to be held at Fountain Street church in Grand Rapids. Tickets aren’t available anymore by phone or web, but I was told this afternoon that there might be tickets available at the door.
