  • haha, Hitch is like what about people that God treats like shit? do they have an obligation to thank and praise him? "Uhh...that's not part of the game" hahaha, absolutely ridiculous!

  • Hitch is no ones bitch.

  • hitchens is fucking awesome

  • lol. its funny to listen to people who actually believe this crazy shit.

  • I am thinking Christopher's idea of surfing is to show up on these small-minded radio shows with a good bottle of scotch in front of him and just mess with the pin-heads trying to convert him. It's a shame the radio guys were too simple to realize they were owned.

  • What is the point of these dumb ass questions? I want my 6 minutes back.

  • Of all the silly programs that Hitchens ever appeared on, this astonishingly stupid example must certainly take the cake. Yuck. R.I.P., Hitch. We disagreed on many, many things but you always had my utmost respect.

  • LOL, classic. Never gets old. The guy can't understand how Hitchens can think for himself.

  • LOL, classic. Never gets old. The guy can't understand how Hitchens can think for himself.

  • incredibly stupid questions ...

    

  • I thought the game was 'What if?' not 'How would you do?'

  • Fucking reviewer! You can hear Hitchens make a point and the guy goes "no, doesn't count!"

    Yes it does, you fucking skank!

  • I believe that is Glenn Beck.

  • @eetmieshyt Wow. How retarded are you? Block for imbecility.

  • @eetmieshyt You are a supreme example of Hitches' assertation that religion breeds bigotry and intolerance. You have proven all of his points with just 1 sentence . Remarkable. Thank you for being the brainwashed idiot that you are.

  • @eetmieshyt If there is line to get into hell then that would be a blessing, right? Contradiction again. And if you interviewing him there you must be either a gloating angel (which is bad form) or you yourself are heading into hell thus no interview is necessary.

  • @eetmieshyt funny isnt it every idiot like u wishing him pain where the only ppl in pain is you and ur kind and he is free of this cruel world...keep wishing but ur the one burning..

  • this guy is kinda stupid..

  • pure gold

  • How amusing it is listening to Hitchens's answers as he's 100 times more sophisticated, smarter and knows 100 times more about the interviewers religion.

  • What if this radio host had any critical thinking skills? Would he be able to comprehend HItchens' sarcasm then?

  • One of these voices is a clumsy douche with little wit or insight reading questions that are full of holes from a script .

    The other is Christopher Hitchens.

  • Fuck Yeah! This fucking douchebag keeps firing one right after another at Hitch and they bounce off him like bullets off Superman's chest!

    I love ya, Hitch!

  • this is fucking hilarious.

  • God this is inane. You can tell this radio host thinks he's incredibly smart for asking Hitch a bunch of hypotheticals.

  • I love how at 3:54 you can hear HItchens give a massive sigh. He is being awfully patient with this dweeb.

  • "what if"... this radio host knew the truth about evolution? why are there religious radio networks all over the US, yet we're hard pressed to find scientific radio stations, or atheist channels upon our TV?

  • I think there will be a judgement day - and God will welcome Mr Hitchens as a brilliant mind

  • Is that cock-face Glenn Beck?

  • Its a stupid game. Hitchins fundamentally does not accept the premises this guys is trying to force onto him. That's the entire point of Hitchin's work. That the entire raison d'etre of Hitchin's desire to speak publically about his beliefs.

  • @CyeOutsider Nice use of raison d'etre Sir/Madam

  • @CyeOutsider True . . . I wonder if the man thought he was actually going to corner Hitchens into accepting the premises, even as "what if," and commenting on them positively? There's no end to what can be done with intentional and malicious misquotes from the butchered clips that would surely result.

  • How do these "christians" think they would do on the 10 commandments if they were called up on fictional judgement day by their fictional god?

  • @nancy6ify quite poorly, the commandment about the Sabbath day is most likely broken by almost every individual in the world.

  • I've encountered stones with higher IQ's than the interviewer.

  • That guy sounds like Glen Beck.

    What if I don't have the same delusion as you?

  • Notice how the host says "what if.... god is real and hes given you life etc etc" but doesnt mention intelligence or wisdom or perception or common sense....

    Furthers my belief that 90% of America is shit.

  • Wow...what a slave this radio guy is. Seriously, I hear him, and I imagine someone in a creepy dictatorship. "But how could we POSSIBLY be without our Dear Leader?" *shudders* CREEEEE-PY!

  • Whoops! Ignore the second half of that last post. I pasted that by mistake.

  • "Yeah, well I'm sure God is not Kim Jong-Il, BUT-"

    "Well, you should ask Kim Jong-Il. He has a different opinion."

    CLASSIC Hitchens. LOL!

    @mamachristmasbunny

    What're you, a soccer mom or something? Look. Atheists aren't the one's making claims. THEISTS (a.k.a. Christians) are. All atheism is is the rejection of theistic or deistic claims. THAT'S IT! Atheists don't have to "provide evidence," BELIEVERS do! And they've utterly FAILED.

    Look. If you walk up to me and say, "there's a magical uni

  • "as kim jong il, he has a different opinion" lol

  • Which of them is more intelligent? Which more of a salesman?

  • Kim Jong-Il has as better record than God for human rights

  • A fool annoying a clever guy...

  • ........so, why is God's word good? It would seem that God gains his authority either from his act of Creation or from his foretold victory in the final battle where one huge swathe of his children are inevitably and unavoidably cast down into Hell. These 'what if' arguments serve to highlight that point: why would a sinner fear a just God? Because he's going to hurt you. Forever. He'll hurt you to save others from the same fate. God will hurt you so that he doesn't have to hurt a Conservative.

  • Incidentally, here's a question not generally approached by believers: why is God the good guy? You assume that God sets the standard for good, and some of the biblical points are undoubtedly useful to a species in terms of natural selection. However, weird ones like only touching another man's penis if you have a sharp rock in the other hand don't seem awfully practical. Continued next post......

  • So, we're going to play a game of 'What if' and then live our lives as if the premise of the argument is a given truth? The Socratic method does not work if you keep repeating the question, preceded by, 'yes, but....'

  • Scary as hell this interviewer...he is BLIND and DEAF

  • @fenackerpan ... IF I MAY ADD.... VERY STUPID!!!

  • This radio show host is a funny little obnoxious moron lol

  • This radio host is so ignorant of his own mythology. He is not only playing a fantasy game with CH he is living a mythological fantasy life and sadly expecting everyone else to do the same.

    He is no match in intellect with CH.

  • When the bible is stripped bare you realise its absolute rubbish.

  • -What if God was real and was responsible for everything you have today? If that were true, would you still be able to say "God Is Not Great"?

    -Yes. [Hitchens's standard rant on why living under the Christian God is egregious to human dignity and individual liberty]

    -Not sure if God is really like Kim Jong-Il, but . . .

    -Why don't you ask him? I think he'd feel differently.

    God DAMN that was clean Mr. Hitchens.

  • gahh it sucks that people like the host actually exist! Its also bait scary

  • this interviewer is retarded

  • 6:20 Did he really say G D? As in, he's scared the pronouncement of god damn by a negligible talk-show host will piss the ostensible creator of the cosmos off to such an extent? Are the words like a magic spell?

    People like him are really strange.

  • @TheRulerofmars Not just that, they can't understand that people think their god is evil.

  • @AgowTisro it might be stockholm syndrome

  • 5 people do not believe Kim-Jong Il is God. I pity the non-believers.

  • @carveyournamein You Sir, are a genious

  • @roddy35wv A religious document started by desert-dwelling subsistence farmers predicted that - if they told everyone that the world, rather than functioning in a modular fashion as considered by polytheistic doctrines of the time, was run by a gigantic super judge - predicted that some people might not leap to mutilate their sexual organs and pay them tribute? Clearly, no one could work that out without help :-O they must have been talking to an all-powerful fairy!

  • What if...You spent your whole life devoting yourself to something imaginary?

    What if...You settled for a crap life on earth because you foolishly believed that you'd be rewarded in heaven ?

    What If... You spent your whole life fighting and killing other religious people because you believed god was on your side and not on theirs?

    What If... You cherry picked passages from your bible/Quran/Torah that seemed to fit your ideals and life and ignored the ones that didn't apply. Suck it Theists....

  • Jesus Christ! the host is a moron!!

  • so annoying, jesus

  • NO!

  • he cant play what if

  • This toe rag radio host...he isnt listening to a word hitchens says.

  • "He owns you." ... "Well I dont want to be owned, and I dont recognize anyone's right to own me."

  • the host is a moron, I bet he thought he was going to out smart Hitchens too, what a tosser

  • This radio host sounds like a psycho! Every time the Hitch shoots down his stupid WHAT IF questions he just ignores it and keep right on going. [FACEPALM]

  • WHAT IF, Satan is actually the good guy and God is just a better propagandist?

  • Are there other "what if" interviews with other atheists?

  • what an idiot of a host!

    haha go Hitchens!!!!

  • "ho owns you!" omg what psycho the host is...

  • May I never tire of listing to this

  • The host has to be a phony. It's impossible anyone is really this dumb.

  • @LondonPride25 Buddy, Todd Friel (for it is he) really IS that dumb! Clock him on the Rational Response squad exchanges. He is a complete god-bothering, bible-punching knob-end who makes it even easier for us godless barsterd Atheists, as if it isn't easy enough already.

  • "What if" thoughts are automatic thoughts and should be corrected with cognitive behavioural therapy.

  • I love the embarrassed way that this disingenuous jerk desperately tries to shut Hitchens answers off, when he elaborates on the answers to the questions from Ray Comforts script: "er...yeah...er..well... er.....That isn't part of the game show"

    If you don't want your ass handed to you, don't ask stupidly loaded questions!!

  • Wow, Hitchens owns this guy.

    Host: So ownership is a bad thing?

    Hitchens: Of people? Yes.

    That is fucking classic.

  • The host Todd Friel is a moron ! I give credit to Chris for not hanging on and for being on the show.

  • Is this host Barney the purple dinosaur?

  • Why do people think they can play these games Hitchens?

  • The host is Glenn Beck right? He's such a creepy, sanctimonious little toad! Hitchens makes him sound moronic as always

  • Lol, this host is laughable. Hitchens' occasional exasperated sighs are also funny.

  • Who's the asshole radio host?

  • @eNRGy27

    The host is Todd Friel. He is about 19 feet tall, and a lackey for the 'Way of the Bastard' Ministry, run by everyone's favorite fundies, Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron.

    Praise be upon the Crocoduck!

  • I love his plugs everytime someone mentions his book.

  • who is this annoying twat, asking these stupid ?

  • lol! People like this are the reason i get up in the morning. everyday i make it my goal to publicly humiliate at least one arrogant ignorant morons.

  • lol! People like this are the reason i get up in the morning. everyday i make it my goal to publicly humiliate at least one arrogant ignorant morons.

  • the host is absolutely stupid. i wonder if he has a son who went to a decent college. what if... what if that's why he's so bitter.

  • OMG it gets better! "You've pretty much kept the 10 commandments", fuck me running, please tell me people aren't really that stupid.

  • I just can't get over this. I mean the host must have sat down and planned this whole thing out, thinking he was doing something really clever and innovative in playing this "game" with these questions without realizing they're the same questions that have been asked thousands of times by small minded douchebags.

  • Sigh, this game with Hitchens could have been awesome if the host wasn't such an arrogant, moronic twat.

  • So... by this guy's definition.. would I be taking "god's" name in vain if I said "I am an atheist because I don't believe in a stupid-fuckhead-asshole"?

    Wow, I actually surprise myself by how nicely that rolls off the tongue.

  • 5.28 "Have you made any graven images?".. What sort of dumb shit stupid question in that? This DJ is a moron

  • "our little game show"....oh fuck off you moron.

  • What this radio host just cannot grasp is an intelligence that refuses to knuckle under to authority.

  • This DJ is a terminal fool.

  • i cant get over the fact that this idiot atually thinks he is going to stump hitchens with ths stupid bullshit

  • What if this is just a retarded game?

  • punching this host in the face once, wouldn't be enough

  • Hitchens was VERY patient with this moron.

  • Absolutely the most retarded host of any show, ever.

  • This pathetic attempt by the host highlights just how much religion resembles domestic abuse. Counsellors in battered wives shelters have a lot of work persuading victims to let go of their indoctrination; someone has taken their power away, told them they're worthless, bad, unlovable but HE loves them. "I own you, you're nothing without me, it's YOUR fault I hurt you..." The abuser makes himself central to their existence, their only salvation, & they say "He's not bad, he loves me!"

  • The host cannot make claims and deny the other things that it entails!!

  • First of all, the previous blogger is right; this pathetic little "gotcha" game is not worthy of Hitchens' intelligence. Secondly, I LOVE how Hitchens beats him at his own game! Using his pathetic "what if's" to highlight the immorality of the presuppositions behind the questions themselves was pure genius. The host is revealed in his back-handed and devious way to try to get Hitchens to say what he wants and it backfires miserably. Well done Hitch!

  • Hitchens' farts have more intelligence than the host's brain

  • So if I own a slave, he should thanks me every day for feeding him?

  • This host is a dimwit.

  • "I don't approve of lumping in women with oxes and asses."

  • "I don't approve of lumping in women with oxes and asses."

  • is this host for real? holly fuck what an absolute moron. dear god what a fucking stupid

  • is the radio host Glenn Beck?

    he sounds like Glenn Beck

  • this "what if game show" is basically a theist's intellectual masturbation and its only purpose is to introduce these artificial premises because reality doesn't agree with the guy's beliefs.

  • @xridethelightningx so basically its an illogical circle jerk

  • INterviewer can't even get the name of the book right...idiot

  • This is an example of how a believer has to twist everything into a hypothetical just to merely accept the absurd premises of this religion.

  • Is the host Glenn Beck?!? ROFL!! Sure sounds like him... and yes, I am deeply ashamed that I have heard Beck's voice enough to perhaps recognize it.

  • Horrible loaded questions with wrong premises by a deluded host.

  • The host is pathetic.

  • Christ, the host is such an imbecile. You can tell he's aiming these questions to arrive at certain answers, but Hitch doesn't play along. Why do Christians have to fall back on rhetorical tricks and debating tactics when promoting their religion? I guess it's because there's no good reason to accept the tenets of their religion. There's nothing of quality to desire, nothing of value, because there is nothing there in the first place.

    Good job on Hitch for not playing along.

  • This radio show host is such a smarmy little douche.

  • This host is a fool....he asks silly questions, gets an intelligent answer, and then accuses Hitchens of not playing his stupid 'fantasy game'

  • Hilarious! Kim Jong Il has another opinion.

  • Haha, the host is retarded.

  • Hitchens is in a class of his own.

  • Judgment day... people die every 2nd.! How long does this judgment last?? Another loads of religious threats.!

  • Hitchens. The win that keeps on winning.

  • CH completely PWNES this moron, but he is just too stupid and pigheaded to realise it.

  • What a STUPID show. What if a pink unicorn was our actual god? What if we had to worship the pink unicorn?  Would we offer apples to the invisible pink unicorn? Would we obey the pink unicorn?

    This is probably the stupidest show I've heard.

  • What the fuck are Christians even doing spreading this shit on the radio anyway?  Go out and feed poor, house the homeless, visit those in prison. Where are a great Christian American hospice centers, free of charge? Why are they selling their wares in Christian bookstores?

  • haha the talk sho host is such a dumb shit! he is the worst kind of human

  • This is not a game the Interrogator is playing, it is a failed attempt to catch CH in a bear trap. Nice try.

  • "So ownership is a bad thing?"

    "Of people, yes."

  • Hitchens FTW

  • This radio host is dumb as shit, i love you Christopher Hitchens

  • "Well, ask Kim-Jong il, I think he has a different opinion" Brilliant!

  • @nattt23

    Yes, unfortuneately there are only a very small handful of people who aren't already on hitchens side who could have got all the full ramifications of that. People often claim that north korea is an example of an atheist state, it is not, it is a theocracy, just as imperial japan or ancient egypt, Kim Jong IL does LITERALLY think he's god, and so does a big giant chunk of the population.

  • I love how Hitchens plugs his book

  • But u have sir...said the all knowledge stupid religious.

  • The host is wrong; God's name isn't "God." That's his job title. God's "name," according to the bible, is YHVH. Since we don't know how to pronounce that, we can't take it in vain, so we're off the hookl.

  • Hahahahaha!

  • @Naiant yahweh i believe.

  • Yahweh is only the somewhat educated guess of modern scholars of how that word was pronounced.

  • @Naiant Pronounced in judaism as Yehova, but no religious jew will EVER pronounce it as it is taboo :)

  • @OspacemarineO

    The usual suggestion is Yahweh.

  • @Naiant isnt it yahweeh or something?

  • @Naiant Very good.

  • @Naiant It should be added that the injunction against taking the name in vain is not an injunction against saying "God damn." It's an injunction against using the name period in a non-prayer context and is the result of old bronze-age superstition that knowing the name of a supernatural deity gives one special powers over it - a context which has disappeared over the succeeding generations after the 10 commandments were written.

  • @Quinibus yeppers.

  • @Naiant

    That is a great, great point!

  • Is this guy a real host or is he playing a character?

  • @Naiant Great point. I'll remember that. BTW I think YHVH is pronounced Yahway.

  • @Naiant you are awesome

  • "Is it fair to say that if he gave you all of this success, he's been good to you?"

    Uh........whatever happened to your "free will", Christian?

    God can't give you all of those things if you have free will. Then Hitchens didn't do it for himself - the success was forced upon him.

    God damn, inconsistency from theists pisses me off.

  • So, if (according to the christian radio host) we owe god because he gives us a good life, does that make god our pimp? if we don't give our money to him (tithe) and our lives, then he tortures us by sending us to hell... kinda sounds like a pimp who beats his bitches...

    so in this thought, does that make the pope his bottom bitch?

  • Comment removed

  • the condescending and dickish attitude from the host is common place among the religious

  • this is hilarious.Hitch having lots of fun. The idea of him saving to his questioner on judgement day 'excuse me I'm in a hurry, who are you to question me' is delicious!

  • is this mancow

  • Wow this interviewer is dumb! He is asking if one of the best known antitheists ever put god first???

  • This is an insult to Hitchen's intelligence

  • what if there was one real Christian on this planet? I bet there is not one single Christian on this planet. Not 1. Any takers care to prove me wrong? Challenge me right here and now and prove you know or are a true Christian.

    As a matter of History I know there are real Muslims. They prove it just about daily even hourly. But I bet you there is not one single Christian on this planet.

  • so by this radios hosts premise I own my children. So I can do with my child as I wish because I own him....and then we wonder where the pedophile church comes from.

    What if
