The religious fellow actually had some decent insights to make. However, putting it simply, the fact that they were ultimately based on the bible nullifies them in a profound way.
Hitchens is simply a superior debater, and a far superior thinker.

Yep. Full disclosure: I'm a big hitchens fan and an anti-theist, but I'd agree that the Pastor is far more effective than pretty much any theist Hitch has come up against. Don't get me wrong, there were certainly some cringe worthy moments, but the angle he comes from allows Christopher to have some semblance of respect for him, and thus we get a much better debate than we're usually afforded.
