A new debate worthy of a listen.

IS THERE AN AFTERLIFE (http://www.jewishtvnetwork.com/?bcpid=533363107&bctid=802338105001)?

"In this recent Whizin Center for Continuing Education program, renown scholar, author and atheists Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris square off against Newsweek top rabbis, David Wolpe and Bradley Artson Shavit to determine what may or may not happen in the hereafter.
The possibility of an afterlife has challenged believers and atheists alike for centuries. Because its very nature defies conclusive definitions or proof, it remains a heated topic for debate and exploration. This debate is moderated by the Editor-in-Chief of the Jewish Journal, Rob Eshman."

An atheist vs Jewish debate in the Christian theology section?

An atheist vs Jewish debate? Obviously you haven't watched the debate but just posted an irrelevant comment...

Wouldn't it be more appropriate in the atheist section or the general religion section?

I repeat, have you watched the debate?

You edited your comment after I had posted. But no I haven't watched it and have no intention to.

But in the summary in your OP it says this: Newsweek top rabbis. Which is why I assume it's an atheist vs Jewish debate.
