Sometimes, when the weather is too miserable to be outside and my daily meditation writing has been converted to bits and bytes, I scroll through YouTube videos picking up bits and tids of interesting information. Most videos are relatively short, making it extremely easy to fall into a video vortex, losing hours that can never be recovered for future investment. One of the YouTube rabbit holes I lose myself in, centers on the increasingly common debates between theists with atheists. I find the debates between the intellectually brilliant minds of atheist Christopher Hitchens and his ilk with the equally brilliant minds of theists who are hobbled by dogmas requiring a certain amount of cognitive dissonance to shoehorn into their otherwise cogent arguments.
