Hearing a song being spoken aloud is a thousand times better than reading it.

That's bullshit. You don't need to be on dawkins or hithens level to debate. And they're not even good debaters. People fall asleep at a Hitchens debate.

People care if you can state your case. Your name isn't as relevant as what you say.
