The 'Four Horsemen of Atheism'...who is the 'best'?
I realize that the question is more complex than simply "who is the best?". However, I would like to hear your opinions. As a Christian, I don't find any of them convincing. I'm a "reformed atheist" who has managed to find my way out of the box that atheism would like to force me into. I also realize that most atheists would see my situation as just the opposite, but I'm not looking for a debate with this particular question. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Dawkins seems to be very weak in debates and is only convincing in book form when no one with a dissenting opinion is present to dispute his ideas. Hitchens, while very entertaining, also seems to be unable to answer certain questions but is very creative in dancing around them until they are lost and/or forgotten. I am less familiar with Harris and Dennett, though I have seen them debate some years ago.
