Quoted from Mark Driscoll's FB..
Atheist Christopher Hitchens debating a Unitarian minister, “I would say that if you don’t believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ and Messiah, and that he rose again from the dead and by his sacrifice our sins are forgiven, you’re really not in any meaningful sense a Christian.”
(It's ironic that there's more truth coming from Hitchens than this Unitiarian "minister". One thing I've always admired about militant atheists: the truth should at least be consistent, no matter how it offends somebody else. Not saying that militant atheists are consistent, but they hold one thing common with orthodox Christianity: they are just as taken a-back by new-agey religious systems).
