So it was the Canaanites’ fault: they had it coming to them because God wanted their land for his pet tribe’s Lebensraum and the incumbents just refused to get up and abandon their homes of their own accord. Craig even justified the slaughter of the children since they’d go to heaven anyway.

In passing, my Guardian article mentioned the ‘empty chair’ tactic (which had been well publicized in advance):

In an epitome of bullying presumption, Craig now proposes to place an empty chair on a stage in Oxford next week to symbolise my absence. The idea of cashing in on another’s name by conniving to share a stage with him is hardly new. But what are we to make of this attempt to turn my non-appearance into a self-promotion stunt? In the interests of transparency, I should point out that it isn’t only Oxford that won’t see me on the night Craig proposes to debate me in absentia: you can also see me not appear in Cambridge, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow and, if time allows, Bristol.1
