I just watched Collision and didn’t think it was very good. I was bored for the last half so I played it at 1.5 speed just to finish it faster.

Very best wishes for a fun discussion. You seem to possess a level of patience and kindness toward believers that I lack, sadly.

I believe that’s also the same day Ray Comfort’s version of Darwin’s Origin is going out to university campuses, right??
I wonder if they’ll show up anywhere in Chicago? If so, one could grab up a copy or two, then catch the movie screening – double the fun!

I am psyched! (And my husband is, too!)

It may be “just a discussion,” but don’t go too easy on Meister!

My guess is no since the two of them are buddies engaging in a bit of a charade/two-step, and this movie is being framed/sold as two respectable POVs, clashing with each other, rather than what it should be — modern thinking vs. dementia. But I’d be happy to be surprised.

It’s good that some people are concerned about that worrisome possibility, but there is an alternative: Hitchens deliberately dredged up the most abhorrent representative of Christianity he could find. It would not much surprise me to see Hitchens use Doug Wilson’s pro-slavery position as a stick to beat Christians with. I too, would like to know, if Hitchens addresses Wilson’s pro-slavery position, and if so, how.

Hemant, please post a full report on the post screening discussion.
I wish I could be there, though I have no doubt you’ll handle yourself better than I would.

I expect a full report, Hemant, of the discussion after the screening. I wish I could be there.

Can someone who sees an early screening of this movie, please report back and let us know whether Hitchens calls out Wilson on his absurd positions on policy, such as being pro-slavery, and using Biblical law (stoning, burning to death, etc.) to usurp existing US law?

I’ve seen a bit of what Doug Wilson has said. The guy has a screw loose, he seems to revel in how illogical his positions are. Every time I’ve seen him argue with Hitchens he is torn a new one. Sad, sad, sad.
