==Interview with Todd Friel==

In a radio interview with Todd Friel on [[Wretched Radio]], a Christianity based radio broadcast, Christopher Hitchens repeatedly ignores Todd Friels line of questioning. At the end of the interview, Todd asks, 'Is it possible the reason you rage so much against god is because you just want to live your own autonomous way, living any way that you want to, living any lifestyle that you prefer without being accountable to your creator?'
