Hitchens v. God (23.78MB; download) -- To the sometimes solemn literary cottage-industry of neo-atheism, Christopher Hitchens — with his manifesto: God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything — brings his famous English-school-boy wit, come to full blossom now in the great American music hall. Of the late Jerry Falwell, Hitchens told Sean Hannity this week, “If they gave him an enema he could have been buried in a matchbox.” On The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, plugging the new book, Hitchens opened with the line that the most over-rated virtue is faith, defined as “believing the most stuff with the least evidence…” Of his new enterprise, he added: “If you can call somebody a man of faith, or ‘faith based,’ it seems at the moment like a compliment. I’d like to change that.”
Is Hitchens serious? Or is he making familiar old Enlightenment sport at the credulity of the imbecilic natives, here and elsewhere? I suspend judgment, even on a close reading of his book, and finally it may be a matter of taste. But the push-back that he and others are pressing against the rise of fundamentalism and theocracy is more than merely provocative. It is by now a best-selling phenomenon.
Aren’t the real questions: why now? what if anything is new here? and just possibly true? And by the way: who started the donnybrook, and who set the street-fighting terms, between (as novelist Marilynne Robinson has written in a truly impressive review essay, “That Highest Candle” on American Religious Poems ) “those who assign the failings of the country to its lapse from traditional religion, and … those who assign our failings to the obdurate persistence of traditional religion.” Selected by: Andrew Grumet [ stations ], Fri, 01 Jun 2007 21:12:56 PDT
