Both Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry have said that the ten commandments are immoral and bad for the world - but to see some passion from them on this subject, you have to see them interviewed by British M.P. Ann Widdecombe.

Although the interview starts with Hitchens, the best part of the video is the second half with Fry.  Even Ann's finishing statement helps underline it with her lame comments about the Ten Commandments being "eternal moral truths".  The main point of Hitchens and Fry was that these leave out important things like banning slavery.

Not highly intellectual - but "good for the soul" to watch!

And an end note - it's been reported (by Atheist Media Blog) that this "video has been blocked in Guernsey, Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey, United Kingdom."

Aired February 7, 2010 on Britains's Channel 4 from the documentary series "The Bible: A History".

Be sure to see the earlier debate which featured Widdecombe, Hitchens and Fry.
