"The Morals of an Atheist "

Intelligence Squared Interview with Christopher Hitchens.
If there is no God – no ground of being – if human beings represent nothing more than temporary swarms of atoms, then what sense does it make even to speak of “right” and “wrong”?” Where does morality come from? Reflecting on what he calls “the appalling insinuation that I would not know right from wrong if I was not supernaturally guided,….” Christopher Hitchens takes on the likes of Jonathan Swift, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Darwin in making his case for atheism. Available to stream legally at http://www.intelligencesquared.com/talks/christopher-hitchens-the-morals-of-an-atheist
