I have to admit that out of all the "New Atheists" I like Hitchens the best. I just get the most out of the debates with him because I think he best encompasses the heart of the Atheist cause: not good arguments against theism (well, he does have arguements that do need to be responded to) but rather just a plain ol' hatred for the very idea of God. He doesn't hide this. And thus, with Hitchens you get to the very heart of the issue. I just wish more Christians debaters would nail him on it.
