at The College at Brockport.
On December 02 at 9:15 pm, students, faculty and the public are invited to attend a wide-ranging debate centering on that very question at The College at Brockport. Christopher Hitchens, the New York Times best selling author of God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything will square off against Rabbi David Wolpe who has been rated the No. 1 Rabbi in America by Newsweek and is the author of Why Faith Matters: God and the New Atheism.
Lives and worldviews are sure to collide as Hitchens and Wolpe argue the timeless question. Tickets are available to the event at the Brockport Student Government Box Office beginning Tuesday, November 24. There is a limit of two tickets per recipient and the prices are as follows; Students with Brockport identification- $2, intercollegiate students with college identification - $10, faculty and staff - $10, and the general public - $10.
Brockport Student Government is sponsoring the debate. Hitchens and Wolpe have met once before in a similar exchange at the Temple Emanu-El, one of the world’s largest synagogues, in front of 1,500 attendants.
