Here is the clip.
The best part of the clip is the beginning - starting around 4:20 - when Coren refuses to permit the typical atheist hit-and-run equating Christianity to a belief in the tooth fairy. It's a well-done response. Study it. Use it. Let's encourage atheists to stop attacking strawmen and start using reason instead of simply worshipping it.
Coren comments on his blog:
I interviewed one of New York’s leading atheists on my new show The Arena – weeknights 7pm, Sun News. These types always use the same lines, always insult, and usually get away with it. In my experience, the Jewish ones – sadly, a lot of them – will always use some Yiddish, or mention something vaguely folksy and Jewish, to try and get people on their side. The non-Jewish ones are just rude. We have to stand up to them; Hitchens is clever and funny, but the rest are bores and blowhards. My debate with this fellow starts about half way through the clip.
