the debate nobody has with hitchens

Hitchens is fun to watch.  Good debater.

I'm a bit tired of seeing the same debate again and again, though.  It's essentially a metaphysical debate about the existence of a very poorly defined and sloppily posited 'ultimate person'.  Does that person exist or not? is the usual question being debated.

I want to see a debate about the pros and cons of living one's life liturgically, keeping mythological patterns and rhythms conscientiously, and about the use and/or value of choosing to live one's life framed by Story.

I don't think Hitchens would be very interested in that debate... but why aren't more Christians?
