Christopher Hitchens Dodges the Question
I asked anti-theist pundit Christopher Hitchens at the Christian Book Expo panel on Saturday if his philosophy provides any basis for hope and dignity for the weak of the world, as Christianity does. This YouTube video picks up my question in mid-sentence and ends before I can follow up, but it shows that Christopher was unable to answer it. Instead he attacked my premise with a straw-man interpretation of Christianity. The audio quality is poor, but you will get the idea. (See the entry below, "Dignity, Hope, and Christopher Hitchens," for more info.)

In broad strokes, your question was "What does atheism offer the weak (weak minded?)" Christopher Hitchens did not answer your question. He said "Christianity is not for the weak. To be able to live with the belief that there is a God who watches you and judges you all the time, and who does not answer prayers is not for the weak."
