Any half-educated person has heard a variety of scientific arguments invalidating certain aspects of religion. Of course, these arguments are still necessary for understanding the underlying problems with religion, but as an atheist they simply preach to my choir, rather than adding to my life.<br /><br />Hitchens, however, seems to do for me what Harris does for you. He takes empiricism and applies it to the human condition, rather than fossils or black holes. Hearing a solid atheistic argument from a moralist like Hitchens builds a foundation for living life and creating a moral hierarchy with which to understand new stimuli. To me, his arguments not only destroy; they create.
