One case where I agree with Christopher Hitchens

I would say that if you don’t believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ and Messiah, and that he rose again from the dead and by his sacrifice our sins are forgiven, you’re really not in any meaningful sense a Christian.

- Christopher Hitchens (author of God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything) in Portland Monthly

This was in response to an interview question from a liberal "Christian".
