I’d like to see Hitchens debate Armstrong so she can defend the ideas in her new book, “The Case for God” (Which I have not read except for some advance excerpts):

This is not an easy task. True religion "requires a great deal of effort and cannot succeed if it is facile, false, idolatrous, or self-indulgent."
