Collision: Hitchens vs. Wilson

Here are the first 13 minutes of the upcoming film, Collision, answering the question: "Is Christianity Good for the World?" This looks to be a very well done movie (great music) and one I'm interested in seeing, although I've already viewed the entirety of one of these debates at Westminster Seminary between Wilson and Hitchens on YouTube, which is quite entertaining and beneficial.  I would highly recommend it.  Or you can read the written debates that prompted the creation of this debate tour and book.

ABC Debate: Does Satan Exist?

This debate was aired in March 2009 at Mars Hill Church in Seattle, featuring a panel of Mark Driscoll and Annie Lobert answering "yes", and Deepak Chopra and Carlton Pearson answering "no" (sort of). As I pretty much expected from mainstream media like ABC hosting something like this, this was not much of a debate, as far as debates go. The "debate" quickly evolved from opening statements and rebuttals into a disorganized scuffle with plenty of non-sequiturs to go around. However, it is something very interesting to watch and hear the different arguments, though not much is accomplished in what appears to be an intensely edited version of the event. It is interesting to take a look at, if you can stand the slightly terrible interface with this website (beware of ad overload).
