OK, I promise this will be my last post on the Hitchens debate. But it looks like video from the debate is online, and you can watch the entire debate courtesy of the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies.

The entire debate went on for about two hours, which is a bit much to watch on your afternoon break from work. But you can get a pretty good feel for the debaters and the points they’re trying to make by watching their ten-minute opening arguments for the “Is God really great?” question.

If you find that exchange interesting, by all means go on to watch the rest of the debate. The discussion moves on into all sorts of interesting tangents.
