----------- VIDEO NOTES -----------
Is God nothing more than a "celestial dictator"? Christopher Hitchens thought so, and was relentless in exclaiming so. God is an all-knowing supervisor, who judges your thoughts and demands praise and obedience. But does this make him a tyrant?
I wanted to spend some time responding to Hitchens' famous argument, and see how it might be responded to.
