I hadn't seen that debate. It was worth watching, but there was a great deal of cherry-picking on both sides. To be fair, it's hard to assess the "goodness" of anything. Suppose you eschew the cherry-picking and exclusively use statistics. Is that any better? Strict Universalism leads to some dark places.

I completely agree, there can be no conclusive decision with such a objective. Still, the whole debate makes for some good theater. Hitchen's is always good for that.
