Christopher Hitchens and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach are no strangers to controversy. The former has been known to attack everyone from Bill Clinton and Cindy Sheehan to Edward Said and Sid Blumenthal, and is responsible for God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, one of the more pointed screeds to emerge from the current spotlight-hungry atheist movement. Boteach, meanwhile, is a follower of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement, the leaders of which have denounced him for commercializing Judaism. He's better known as the host of the TLC reality show Shalom in the Home. Tonight, in the intellectual equivalent of a WWE match, the two spar over the existence of the big G-dash-D.
