calling female interviewers 'love' yet claiming to be pro women's rights - seems not only religious people have the right to be a bit hypocritical now and then
So sad to see Hitch is gone so early in his life, but at least these vids and recordings will exist as long as free human society exists. Kinda odd Jesus or other godly profits after waiting 100,000 years of human existence could not have waited another say 2000 to be recorded in such a way. It would have made their message much more powerfull or easy to dismiss. Go Hitch!
He seems oddly subdued in this one, a bit weary -- if anything it's more appealing and convincing than the usual delivery, his customary fencer's tension. Even the way he is sitting. It's some of his most powerful argument, too.
JESUS CHRIST, HIS CATHOLIC-UNIVERSAL-APOSTOLIC CHURCH, SACRAMENTS, THE BIBLE, MIRACLES, HEALINGS, ST. MARY APPARITIONS, MESSAGES FROM HEAVEN, SIGNS IN 2011 ARE NOT A MYTHOLOGY BUT THE REALITY !!!
it's sad to watch the blind leading the blind tumnling into their own graves. This man has unfortunately caused many to stumble in their faltering walk in search for truth. His intellectual arrogance could only bring destruction to himself and many of those who ignorantly follow his godless dictums.
exactly why do men get weird when a woman discusses her "period"? why is it that men have no problem throwing around vulgar, utterly disrespectful terms 4 a woman's vagina, thru which they them selves were borne in 2 this world, yet 1 little mention of cramps, menstrual blood or any sort of physical problem a woman may be having with her reproductive organs is cause 4 feelings of threat 4 men? men can discuss any thing rationaolly EXCEPT a woman's reproductive organs. then they get stupid. why?
@timewilltell7 what i don't get is why men are threatened by a woman's intellect. or why, if 1 sex is weaker than the other, the male isn't hard wired 2 protect women. or why, if these psychopathic men see women ONLY as "vessels" thru which babies come, they don't see a woman's body as a sacred thing that ought not be abused. why get physically or emotionally violent 2 wards women - is this not a worse sacrilege against that which their "god" "made" than destroying "holy objects"?
You're dealing with weak, woman-like, gender confused, family detesting Lefties. Conservative men protect women and children. They also LOVE strong women. Note that when Sarah Palin, Laura Ingraham & Michelle Bachmann spout conservativism, their support among conservative men balloons. The men think they're beautiful and intelligent. Liberal men (and women) sink to attacking their babies.
Hillary Clinton supported liberalism. Hash, vile sexist attacks came from lib men.

Christopher Hitchens makes everyone think to look outside the views of those in power whether they are politically or religious based that we should not be led to believe what they say is true.Cudeos to him RIP
@RPenta Your joke is poor and extremely lacking in cleverness. You mean to say that Hitchens alone is responsible for the Iraq war? I believe there exists a vast chasm between war monger and war profiteer. Hitchens certainly drew an audience, but was he influential enough to continue the war effort? No.
Even though I knew Hitchens would probably pass from the cancer I still had hope even before today that he would somehow, miraculously get better.. I didn't want to lose him.
@ALuke9090 Arrogant little prick. Blow it out your ass. You know nothing about me, and yet you brazenly and presumptuously dare to censure me. Mind your manners, scumbag. And... if you believe in Yahweh, then your mind is broken. It really is just that simple.
Atheism merely requires a modest level of intellect and cognitive skill; as apposed to being a Theist, which only requires having an anus to stick ones head into. This correlation explains the overwhelming number of Theist.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hitchens is nothing more than a pile of flesh and will die just like everybody else and will never be able to prove one single piece of monkey shit that he has ever spewed out of his mouth.
@MrSinke23 we as humans only can retain so much knowledge about god. Its called church and most churches are a false church but there are many that are true i am only 17 but i have been to church my whole life i havent went in about 6 months because i just dont want to. Ya im a sinner lol and i believe in god. I look at porn i curse i get drunk sometimes i fuck different girls and lots more of bad stuff!!! But i do believe there is a god and one day he will (cum) and the rapture will happen. I
"I as a 14 year old child have became more adult then any of these believers :)"
I can't believe you fools are validating this child's ego when he makes a claim as arrogant as that. Are you so insecure that you will agree with anyone as long as (s)he shares your beliefs on one issue?
And for the record, just because I'm criticising this doesn't mean I'm a theist.
@Motormanlova it seems you need to brush up on your cosmology. or you could just throw numerous exclamation points on the end there, and feel content in your religious stagnation of knowledge. unless you were trolling- in that case, good job. you had me convinced that you weren't.
I've been watching these debates for about a year now. I think I can define myself this way: agnostic about deism, rock solid atheistic about theism, and now I'd like to move on. I hope William Lane Craig has a piano dropped on his head, and I hope Christopher Hitchens beats his disease.
@mouthyweasel u have an interesting point of view, or take on this whole issue. nice man. i am just a skeptic about everything basically, i mean, why would u not be an atheist about theism too? i wonder... but i got my fingers crossed for the whole piano thing. nice one
@mouthyweasel what you just wrote is exactly the same thing I am thinking now after having seen several debates on religion and having read the Bible (partially) and after having read many books on early Christianity!
Oh wise and learned man of brilliance .... Stop fucking babbling and read the bible if you possess the humility to learn the truth. Arrogance is incapable of understanding truth ... you're full of it, time to go the bathroom
@thehitchrules No it was the tower of Babel ... do you remember that story. Do you remember the lesson for mankind. They all spoke on language and what did they do. They rejected God and attempted to reach heaven through their own means. So God gave them each a language of their own. Bet you can't understand or figure out why and just how brilliant it is. Of course what is mankind doing now. Same thing with the means of a computer and political leverage. Babble and dribble
@whatdoyouknowkid : Then god killed everybody with the flood and again all remaining handfull of people had one language and one skincolor. That was 4000 years ago. Then somehow came all different nationalities and languaqes again.
The person who choses to believe there is no God has chosen to limit himself.
Either possibility exists, the choice in life if to determine which is true. SInce you find yourself in the state of time that knowledge/understanding/awareness of God can only be learn through the conscious choice of the individual. If you do not know God it is only because you haven't sought to know Him. It is impossible not to know Him if you want to. God will always provide the truth, you can always reject it
@BeesBegone You do not chose to believe there is no God. You may choose to believe IN God, but not against it. You simply figure out that you don't believe in God.
You state "You do not chose to believe there is no God, You simply figure out that you don't believe in God"
Are you saying, you're born knowing or believing in God and then figure-out you don't believe in God?
The way it works is, a person reaches a point of God consciousness, an awareness that a God/Creator must/might exists, and from there you will eventually reach a decision
You will either believe there is a God or you won't.
@PsychoticNeurotic I suppose. In that case nobody chooses or not. They come to it naturally. I was asserting that our environments as children are so God-heavy (which is wrong) that you almost have a belief in the back of your head immediately you reach school age even with no justification of it or understanding. Then in later life comes the gradual realisation that it is unjustifiable and illogical. Thus arriving at a conclusion that one doesn't believe in God, rather than deciding it.
@PsychoticNeurotic SAID "...You do not chose to believe there is no God. You may choose to believe IN God, but not against it. You simply figure out that you don't believe in God..." :: -_- :: yup. UNLESS, you are easily led, properly stupid, unfortunately misguided or .... delusion. then you are just "screwed" ... =)
My grandparents raised me and they were traveling evangelists. I was taught that if I watched TV I was going to Hell...if I didn't go to church every time the doors were open I was going to Hell...etc...etc. I was tormented. I was supressed in every way. I eventually developed mental illness from the guilt and condemnation that I felt from religion and had to undergo psychiatric counseling. Thank goodness my eyes were eventually opened and I got my mind back by becoming atheist. I am free.
@jontheundertaker : Damn you had it rough. We have to fight these superstitions so nobody else suffers like you did. Good to hear your are ok now, best of luck!
If you believe in God you are failing to use one of our best attributes - rational thought. Civilization advanced because of our ability to doubt and study, not by taking things on blind faith.
I once was religious and I truly did believed that a man created this world. I found false safety, heard voices that wasn't there and so on. I can fully understand why a person believes in this. But 9 months ago I became an atheist. I managed to prove MYSELF wrong! Isn't that amazing? I myself went from this warm false and yet violent place to reality. I as a 14 year old child have became more adult then any of these believers :)
@iRobii so glad you saw 'the light' no doubt you had religion pushed into your head since you were a baby so no wonder you bought it, I was the same. Now sit back and enjoy as much Hitch and Dawkins as you can,
@waves14 Yeah. Whenever I see something that I dont fully understand. I dare to ask: Why is it there? What made this happened? Instead of closing my eyes and holding my ears screaming "IT WAS GOD!" like a close minded 5 year old child who dont want to hear the word: "WRONG!"
I have now, thanks to alot to youtube opened my eyes and ears and learn about how black holes work, what a supernova is and alot more. I remember myself giggle once I learned this :)
Hope for sale! It only cost 10% of your annual income. Hurry now before you die! Send you gift of payment now so you can get your ticket to heaven while supplies still last. Plus $19.95 shipping and handling.
@iRobii I have never met anyone in my entire life that confessed to being an atheist. Yet I became an atheist at the age of 12. You don't see me bragging on youtube about it, do you? I'm glad for you, one less idiot, but go back to facebook.
@TheMasteratLink Someone's testy. There's no problem with someone coming out and saying they're atheist. It creates a safer atmosphere for other closeted atheists to come out. These are merely my assumptions, since I've been an atheist since I was born (like most, I reckon), and I live in a country that's majorly non-religious, so I wouldn't know what it would feel like to "come out."
@TheMasteratLink : No, thats wrong. Everybody should out themselves as Atheists every day, everywhere. We should shout it from the rooftops. So we would learn that we are actually an overwhelming majority of population, and together we could run superstitions in to extinction.
@iRobii So which one of these voices in your head said "Trust me atheism is the way to go". And how did your rational brain "switch off" those voices? And what is reality? The cold, indifferent world of billiard balls bouncing around in space? Your arrogance blinds you to the truth. You may not have the warmth of a creator but you have the pride of a know-it-all.
@Pablofilmmaker Well I started to think, if the bible is the book of truth why does it have to adapt to our society? Why does the book of "truth" have to evolve to make sense to us? Why does it steal HUGE chunks from the greek mythology?
And what I mean by voices I mean that those voices is just like you thinking that you saw ghosts. But you didnt.
Sure, we might live in a cold pointless world. But imagen the freedom there is to it! There is no one to tell you how to live your life!!
@iRobii It's not 'stupid' to have faith or hope, otherwise we could kill each other straight ahead & flush down the toilet. It's about how organized religions are made to put people in an ORGANIZED line with false faith/beliefs & prophets.
@laird47 I guess depending on one's point-of-view we all have to be trolls to someone...
Anytime someone uses that term I know exactly who and what they are.
A complete and total idiot incapable of putting a meaningful thought together in the pea size brain of consciousness that is probably limited to the safety of their parents basement.
Vote for Christopher hitchens for Time's Magazines 100 most influential people for 2011 currently Glenn Beck is ahead of him! I'll say it again Glenn Beck is higher than Hitchens on the most inspirational people list this needs to change!!!!! search it on Google, time 100 2011 Christopher Hitchens and vote!
@whatdoyouknowkid what a solipsistic remark. Go believe that you're a god servant on your own and leave all of us sane people alone, safe from your mental poison.
@LuisManuelLealDias Solipsism is sometimes expressed as the view that “I am the only mind which exists,” or “My mental states are the only mental states. Is that what you mean? Seems you're attributing to others your own state of mind. I guess the truth hurts ... the truth is always self-evident and those who choose to reject it will always rage against it. Denial leads to insanity ... be careful you're not entering into an inescapable mental condition.
@whatdoyouknowkid The truth is only "self-evident" precisely to the solipsistic loons, because, doh, they *think* their mind is "the only mind that exists". In truth, truth is "out there", and if you want it, you don't get to say it's "self-evident", you go search it. And when you do so while being honest to yourself, you'll see how incredibly stupefyingly bad religions are at every level, epistemological, moral, psychological, etc.,etc., it's not even funny.
@whatdoyouknowkid Yes you're right. Religions are man through man's efforts seeking the favor of God.
It simply doesn't work. God is truth, it's a personal relationship with truth that allows one to know and understand God, His plan, His purpose, His love.
@spmcd2001 No. I'm a Christian. Don't belong to any religion or cult organizations. No much of a joiner.
I'm just saying, we are not eternal beings in our bodies that are dying and therefore since we have no experience or frame-reference for what it is to be eternal or God it would be impossible for us to fully understand, know and appreciate meeting God in your fleshly bodies. Once we have eternal bodies I think we'll be able to know far more simple from the experience of changing.
@jemorrismmorris Truth .. you can't handle the truth. Religion is vanity. A personal relationship with the Person of Jesus Christ is the only truth ... you can't handle it. You're so clueless you can't even begin to understand. As a matter of fact, its impossible for you to understand God until you do accept Christ as your personal savior. Been in your shoes, walked many miles in them ... you haven't even set foot into one of my shoes let alone made a single step.
@whatdoyouknowkid I saw many of my soldiers die in Iraq. I saw my wife miscarry twice. Christians often yap about how such events only 'shake their faith' and they remain true to god so they will be saved. They yap about Job and his tribulations. They yap about how abortion is wrong and every life is precious, but god plans for miscarriages. They yap about my brothers dying to protect our freedoms, but I don't see any of us voting in Iraq, or traveling to iraq to voice our opinions.
Leave it to small-minded INFANTS to create religion and follow it. When will you learn? When will you WAKE UP from this DREAM...this...delusion that your ape-like minds could even grasp what life....is. I'm calling all of you out. You are cowards. YOU are holding us back. Step aside. Religions have had their turn long enough and they have nothing to show for it but war, death, greed, misuse of power, and mistreatment of others. I use 'you' in terms of a generality. Unless you apply to the above.
@bary1234 You must be drunk like Hitchens. Science is not a religion, although people like yourself treat it as such. You believe that your view is the best, and you seek to destroy anyone and anything that disagrees with your world view. You're a bigger danger to humanity and freedom than the most radical religious fanatics.
@bary1234 I believe 9/11 is strong evidence and did happen. Religious fanatics hijacked jets and flew them into office buildings. That's evidence of religion's existence, but maybe you're among those who believe the twin towers still stand and that it was all a television hoax. Working to "free mankind" are you? How come everyone who enslaves people is valiantly seeking to destroy lies by violent action? A scientist practicing religion, that's what you are.
@bary1234 Oh, that's it! Because you adhere to something called "Atheism" you are incapable of doing wrong. And since you are incapable of doing wrong, you should be given the power to destroy all other beliefs. It's all in the name of freedom that you would persecute, torture, and kill the non-believers... in your atheist creed of hatred. Tthe certainty of truth permits juries to execute... and you have the certainty of truth on your side every step of your way.
@matt605 : I dont adhere to Atheism. There just is not even a slightest persuation to be anything else. If any evidence of any religion would ever come up, I would accept it. I would believe, like everybody else on this whole planet would. Problem is that such evidence has never been seen. You know why? Because religions are man made fantasies, barbaric ridiculous cults and superstitions.
@matt605 : I am very capable of doing wrong. But I dont persecute stupidity, nor would I torture or kill anyone. You are such a stupid bag of shit even to suggest such atrosities. Try to get it in your fat head, I am an Atheist. As in not religious. We dont kill and torture and enslave people.
We educate, we teach. Our weapons against superstition and stupidity are knowledge and science.
@bary1234 It's the dawning of the age of Aquarius! Atheists have discovered how to rid humans of their inclination to kill and torture and enslave! Now extinguish anyone who disagrees with you or stands in the way of your progress.
And especially kill those who remind the world of Pol Pot and Joseph Stalin, Atheism's best examples of how to lead.
@matt605 : So you are leaving hitler off your list now? Thats a major improvement, you actually know that he was a devout Catholic and did his atrosities as work of god? hitler is a good example of stupidity religion causes, and how belief in god can be twisted for anything. Its like they teach in the bible, god wants and commands genocides.
Now just try to get your fat head around the idea of providing education and knowledge to all humans. Imagine a world where no school teaches lies.
@bary1234 I see omitting Hitler from the list does not prevent you from using him to distract from the atheistic mass murder of Pol Pot and Joseph Stalin. But the important point is that atheistic leaders aren't less violent or less evil than devout believers in some god. Yet you clearly wrote, "We dont kill and torture and enslave people." It's not that you're lying that makes you dangerous. What makes you dangerous is that you truly believe what you wrote.
@matt605 : Ah, you actually got me on something :) Touche. There a moron Atheists, and ending religions wont end all bad things happening. Human will continue to be primitive greedy tribal mammals and have lots of problems with each other.
Yet I challenge you to find somebody who does something bad in the name of Atheism. Its like somebody doing something bad because they are not electricians. Or because they are not a dentist. Thats not a motive for anything.
@bary1234 Atheists harm others to advance atheism all day long. Want to see the verbal outpouring of hatred that athiests spew against anyone who fails to agree with them? Just read the threads associated with the videos of Hitchens and Dawkins. Except for pre-Holocaust Germany, I don't know any example where hatred is more condoned or celebrated than in the abuse that athiests spew at others, believers and non-believers alike.
@matt605 : Harm? Critique and questions are harmfull? Just because somebody does not swallow your ridiculous embarrassing superstition without evidence, you cant say he is harming you.
You should think why you believe what you believe. Its just because you were lied to, just because of brainwashing and indoctrination, you should give it up. Since there is no evidence, there is no real reason to believe. Its just wishfull thinking and lies. Let it go, open your eyes and live without that shit.
@bary1234 I haven't said what I believe or even if I have any beliefs. If atheism and evolution are what I believe, then you are suggesting that I scrutinize my beliefs for "brainwashing and indoctrination" and "wishful thinking and lies"? There is no reason to believe atheism and/or evolutionism without evidence. No one should not believe "shit." I don't call what anyone sincerely believes to be "shit," which I guess is my weakness as an American.
@matt605 : Yes, I know you are embarrassed about your superstition. You cant talk about it because it is so ridiculous. I mean talking snakes and magical creation. Thats just stupid.
Atheism is not a belief. And evolution is accepted because of overwhelming evidence. Religions reaquire blind faith because they have zero evidence to back them up.
Surely you call some beliefs shit. How about that incest-dad of poland? Held her daughter 22 years as a sex-slave. He believed it was ok to do that.
@bary1234 You're such an inquisitor! I haven't said what religiouis beliefs I have, if any. But the plain reality is that you can't defend what you believe without comparing it to Young Earth Creationism. Do you not see how your faith in Christopher Hitchens is leading you to commit hate crimes against others? Where is it said that I must state my religious beliefs or non-belief in order to comment on the religious beliefs of Christopher Hitchens and evolutionists?
@matt605 : Thats what I said. I've said It like 6 times already. Perhaps you finally get what I am saying. Eventually that can happen, maybe I have to say it like 10 times more or so. Or 20, depending how thick you are.
You cant say what you believe because you have enough common sense to be ashamed about your ridiculous belief. You are embarrassed about your religion. And you should be, because it is nonsense. Its medieval fiction, useless garbage.
@bary1234 You act just like a Nazi. You really, really do. Anyone who does not agree with you is subjected to a blistering string of verbal abuse and profanity. And yet, you cannot defend your beliefs against anything but Young Earth Creationists, who believe the earth is only 6,000 years old. A pathetic lot you are, but dangerous still.
@matt605 : No, you brainless wanker. You are superstitious, you believe in nonsense with zero evidence. There is nothing good in your blind faith, you are just plain wrong.
@bary1234 "you believe in nonsense with zero evidence" I've never said I practiced evolutionism as a religion. In fact, I haven't said whether I believe in the existence of any god or not. It's plainly obvious that your creed of hatred is all about religion though.
@matt605 : Evolution is not a belief. Its a theory that has mountains of evidence behind it.
You are a creationist. A christian. A superstitious credulous brainwashed ignoramus.
I oppose superstition. I want to protect children from religious brainwashing. I want 18+ label on religious indoctrination. I want religion out of politics, medias, schools, workplaces. Nonsense and pseudo-science deserves just rejection and ridicule.
@bary1234 Is evolution a pseudo-science, lacking in firm evidence and shifting theories as quickly as new skulls are unearthed? Why must a participant identify his or her religious beliefs or non-beliefs before criticizing Evolutionism? Is it because religion is a competing belief system to evolutionism? You wish to eradicate religion from earth, and with the moral harm that you believe religion causes, you would be self-justified in mass murder.
@matt605 : Science is never carved in stone. Ridiculous nonsense like your religion is carved in stone.
Thats why your religion is fading, because it tries to cling on to ancient myths and bronze age fantasies. Science accepts reality as it is. No magic needed, no nonsense accepted.
Religion is not a competing system, and evolution is not a belief system. Religion is superstition, its useless garbage and nonsense. Superstition has no value, it has nothing to give for humanity.
@matt605 : Again, where do these mass-murder bullshit-comments come from? Is it the religious brainwashing oozing like stinking puss from your rotting brain?
Try to get it to your thick skull, I dont want to kill anybody. I want to provide proper schools and education to people. I want to protect children from lies and brainwashing. Knowledge kills superstition. Proper schools end religions in one generation. And world will be much brighter and better place for it.
@matt605 : So you said : "I don't call what anyone sincerely believes to be "shit," which I guess is my weakness as an American."
Lets list some superstitions currently rampant on this planet: People are still burned as witches. Baby girls are raped to cure aids. Endangered species are hunted to extinction to make nonsense-viagra. Hands and legs of living albinos are chopped off for lucky charms. Genitalia of little children are systematically mutilated.
@bary1234 The existence of screwed up humans is not really a new thing. But it is so revealing how badly you need the most disgusting examples of human conduct to make yourself relevant. Religions have existed for tens of thousands of years. Atheism is brand new, and yet it boasts a body count greater than any atomic bomb has ever produced. Tell me what you would say to Joseph Stalin or Pol Pot that would make them cease their mass murder?
@matt605 : So you run away from this question as well. Is this also too embarrassing, hitting too close to home?
You said : "I don't call what anyone sincerely believes to be "shit,""
Lets take just one example: Baby girls are raped to cure aids.
That is a sincere belief, men who do this really believe they are getting better for it. Is this a valid belief on your mind? Do you think they are respectfull and deserve no critique and opposition because of their faith?
@matt605 : About Stalin or Pol Pot: There are people fucked up beyond repair. Its like religious brainwashing damages the mind permanently, its almost impossible to help superstitious people. So Stalin and Pot should have had proper schools and proper parents and proper society to turn them in to decent people. Lacking that, I could only tell them that causing suffering is wrong, and that people would rise against them and punish them if they committed crimes.
@bary1234 But the people didn't "rise up against them". Your theory fails. Stalin and Pol Pot killed millions. No one ever took action against Stalin or Pol Pot for killing their own citizens. They remain the most successful atheists of all time. I know you think you would never kill millions, but you don't have that power. You can wrongly call me names, and you jump at the chance to. What little power you do have, you misuse.
@matt605 : So stalin and pol pot got away with it? What would you say to them? Stop or god gets you after you die?
What is successfull in killing people, by the way? Other than it slows overpopulation off course. Is mass murder somehow a goal in your version of religion? You follow the bible, god commands genocides and all that?
You also think you would not burn witches and chop off legs of albinos but thats just because you dont have the power.
@bary1234 My point is that atheists are not less violent or less evil than religious believers, and evidence suggests they are worse. Stalin and Pol Pot killed millions as morally easy as washing dirt off themselves. I haven't said anything about my beliefs or even if I have any, but all you can do attack religious believers. To a Nazi, every problem looked like a Jew. To an atheist, every problem must be a creatonist. Atheism is a creed of hatred.
@matt605 : Again, Atheists can be idiots and assholes too. It says nothing about Atheism. Atheism is rejection of notion of gods. Thats it. Atheism is not a motivation for anything. Nothing is ever done "in the name Atheism."
I attack and oppose superstition. Religion is superstition. Superstition is harmfull and bad. Lies and propaganda should never be taught to children. Creationism is not cause of all problems, bu it is a major cause. Bad enough to be worthy of a fight against.
@bary1234 Why couldn't Stalin and Pol Pot be considered atheists who killed to advance the destiny of atheism? They were right, just like you think you're right. When you're right, how can an atheist morally permit a human whose ideas and/or genes are fouling up the whole world to live? Human progress demands that inferior thinking and inferior genetics be purged. Mass murder by an atheist is murder in the name of atheism.
@matt605:What destiny of Atheism? There is no destiny of Atheism.Atheism is rejection of notion of god. Being right about god-nonsense says nothing about the person otherwise.
Making up moral judgment is pretty easy, everybody does it. And everybody should do it. Not easy in a sense that we would always be right, but easy in the sense that we always make up somekind of moral attitude to any given action or opinion. Human progress is such a complicated system we cant say what is beneficial to it.
@bary1234 You wrote: "I want to provide proper schools and education to people. I want to protect children from lies and brainwashing. Knowledge kills superstition. Proper schools end religions in one generation. And world will be much brighter and better place for it." That's atheistic agenda. Accomplishing your goal will require more bloodshed than WW2. At every turn, we see that your idealism and zealous atheism is nothing but a recipe for mass murder.
@matt605 : And again, how do you get to mass murder from going to school where you are not taught nonsense as facts? Where is the bloodshed if you just shut about your superstition in schools?
Again, just look at Scandinavia. Nobody was ever killed because of religion here, and with proper education we have shaken off religions. There is no need for violence.
Did you know that Stalin went to church school? Thats probably what ruined him and turned him to a ruthless mass murdered.
@bary1234 Pol Pot and Stalin are the most successful atheists. Each man rose to become the leader of his nation, and Stalin led his country in war against Germany and on to become a nuclear super power. And their atheism permitted them to conduct mass murder with the power they came to wield.
@matt605 : So success is measured by amount of murders committed? Why? Is hitler the most successful christian?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the president of USA during World War II, was he the most succesfull christian because so many people died globally during his time in office?
Is this your own intrepetation of the bible or something? God demands war and genocide?
Your god killed every human in the global flood-story, he still rules on the murder-board I think.
@bary1234 "Your god killed every human in the global flood-story" Do you not see how wrong it is to say a person is a particular faith when he or she has not identified themselves as such? I've said nothing of what I believe or if I believe in any religion. Which flood story murderer do you accuse me of worshipping? It's only fair to ask before you execute me for being an accomplice after the fact!
@matt605 : I think you are a christian, so that would be the judeo-christian god. Off course I cant be certain, since you are so ashamed of your embarrassing superstition you refuse to talk about it.
I dont execute people, you shit-for-brains wanker.
calling female interviewers 'love' yet claiming to be pro women's rights - seems not only religious people have the right to be a bit hypocritical now and then

So sad to see Hitch is gone so early in his life, but at least these vids and recordings will exist as long as free human society exists. Kinda odd Jesus or other godly profits after waiting 100,000 years of human existence could not have waited another say 2000 to be recorded in such a way. It would have made their message much more powerfull or easy to dismiss. Go Hitch!

exactly why do men get weird when a woman discusses her "period"? why is it that men have no problem throwing around vulgar, utterly disrespectful terms 4 a woman's vagina, thru which they them selves were borne in 2 this world, yet 1 little mention of cramps, menstrual blood or any sort of physical problem a woman may be having with her reproductive organs is cause 4 feelings of threat 4 men? men can discuss any thing rationaolly EXCEPT a woman's reproductive organs. then they get stupid. why?

The person who choses to believe there is no God has chosen to limit himself.
Either possibility exists, the choice in life if to determine which is true. SInce you find yourself in the state of time that knowledge/understanding/awareness of God can only be learn through the conscious choice of the individual. If you do not know God it is only because you haven't sought to know Him. It is impossible not to know Him if you want to. God will always provide the truth, you can always reject it

Are you saying, you're born knowing or believing in God and then figure-out you don't believe in God?
The way it works is, a person reaches a point of God consciousness, an awareness that a God/Creator must/might exists, and from there you will eventually reach a decision
You will either believe there is a God or you won't.
BeesBegone 8 months ago
@PsychoticNeurotic I suppose. In that case nobody chooses or not. They come to it naturally. I was asserting that our environments as children are so God-heavy (which is wrong) that you almost have a belief in the back of your head immediately you reach school age even with no justification of it or understanding. Then in later life comes the gradual realisation that it is unjustifiable and illogical. Thus arriving at a conclusion that one doesn't believe in God, rather than deciding it.

They make mistakes

If you look at Christians to determine whether or not God exists you're seeking God in the wrong way
You have to look to God, and you have to look at yourself
You can read the Bible and understand it only to a point without the teaching of a Pastor to assist you in going further
Simply put, if you demand of God that He provide you with the knowledge of Himself He will

@bary1234 You must be drunk like Hitchens. Science is not a religion, although people like yourself treat it as such. You believe that your view is the best, and you seek to destroy anyone and anything that disagrees with your world view. You're a bigger danger to humanity and freedom than the most radical religious fanatics.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : Science is not religion, and nobody treats it as such.
Truth is better than lies, and since there is zero evidence behind any religion Atheism is the default position of any rational human being.
To end religions is to free mankind from useless nonsense and ridiculous superstition. Its a noble endevour, that I am proud to be part of.

@bary1234 I believe 9/11 is strong evidence and did happen. Religious fanatics hijacked jets and flew them into office buildings. That's evidence of religion's existence, but maybe you're among those who believe the twin towers still stand and that it was all a television hoax. Working to "free mankind" are you? How come everyone who enslaves people is valiantly seeking to destroy lies by violent action? A scientist practicing religion, that's what you are.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : Moron. I did not say religions dont exist. I said there is no evidence to back up religions, meaning they are based on lies.
Yes I am working to free mankind.
Who is enslaving people?
I dont practise religion, I am an Atheist.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 Oh, that's it! Because you adhere to something called "Atheism" you are incapable of doing wrong. And since you are incapable of doing wrong, you should be given the power to destroy all other beliefs. It's all in the name of freedom that you would persecute, torture, and kill the non-believers... in your atheist creed of hatred. Tthe certainty of truth permits juries to execute... and you have the certainty of truth on your side every step of your way.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : I dont adhere to Atheism. There just is not even a slightest persuation to be anything else. If any evidence of any religion would ever come up, I would accept it. I would believe, like everybody else on this whole planet would. Problem is that such evidence has never been seen. You know why? Because religions are man made fantasies, barbaric ridiculous cults and superstitions.
bary1234 10 months ago
@matt605 : I am very capable of doing wrong. But I dont persecute stupidity, nor would I torture or kill anyone. You are such a stupid bag of shit even to suggest such atrosities. Try to get it in your fat head, I am an Atheist. As in not religious. We dont kill and torture and enslave people.
We educate, we teach. Our weapons against superstition and stupidity are knowledge and science.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 It's the dawning of the age of Aquarius! Atheists have discovered how to rid humans of their inclination to kill and torture and enslave! Now extinguish anyone who disagrees with you or stands in the way of your progress.
And especially kill those who remind the world of Pol Pot and Joseph Stalin, Atheism's best examples of how to lead.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : So you are leaving hitler off your list now? Thats a major improvement, you actually know that he was a devout Catholic and did his atrosities as work of god? hitler is a good example of stupidity religion causes, and how belief in god can be twisted for anything. Its like they teach in the bible, god wants and commands genocides.
Now just try to get your fat head around the idea of providing education and knowledge to all humans. Imagine a world where no school teaches lies.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 I see omitting Hitler from the list does not prevent you from using him to distract from the atheistic mass murder of Pol Pot and Joseph Stalin. But the important point is that atheistic leaders aren't less violent or less evil than devout believers in some god. Yet you clearly wrote, "We dont kill and torture and enslave people." It's not that you're lying that makes you dangerous. What makes you dangerous is that you truly believe what you wrote.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : Ah, you actually got me on something :) Touche. There a moron Atheists, and ending religions wont end all bad things happening. Human will continue to be primitive greedy tribal mammals and have lots of problems with each other.
Yet I challenge you to find somebody who does something bad in the name of Atheism. Its like somebody doing something bad because they are not electricians. Or because they are not a dentist. Thats not a motive for anything.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 Atheists harm others to advance atheism all day long. Want to see the verbal outpouring of hatred that athiests spew against anyone who fails to agree with them? Just read the threads associated with the videos of Hitchens and Dawkins. Except for pre-Holocaust Germany, I don't know any example where hatred is more condoned or celebrated than in the abuse that athiests spew at others, believers and non-believers alike.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : Harm? Critique and questions are harmfull? Just because somebody does not swallow your ridiculous embarrassing superstition without evidence, you cant say he is harming you.
You should think why you believe what you believe. Its just because you were lied to, just because of brainwashing and indoctrination, you should give it up. Since there is no evidence, there is no real reason to believe. Its just wishfull thinking and lies. Let it go, open your eyes and live without that shit.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 I haven't said what I believe or even if I have any beliefs. If atheism and evolution are what I believe, then you are suggesting that I scrutinize my beliefs for "brainwashing and indoctrination" and "wishful thinking and lies"? There is no reason to believe atheism and/or evolutionism without evidence. No one should not believe "shit." I don't call what anyone sincerely believes to be "shit," which I guess is my weakness as an American.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : Yes, I know you are embarrassed about your superstition. You cant talk about it because it is so ridiculous. I mean talking snakes and magical creation. Thats just stupid.
Atheism is not a belief. And evolution is accepted because of overwhelming evidence. Religions reaquire blind faith because they have zero evidence to back them up.
Surely you call some beliefs shit. How about that incest-dad of poland? Held her daughter 22 years as a sex-slave. He believed it was ok to do that.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 You're such an inquisitor! I haven't said what religiouis beliefs I have, if any. But the plain reality is that you can't defend what you believe without comparing it to Young Earth Creationism. Do you not see how your faith in Christopher Hitchens is leading you to commit hate crimes against others? Where is it said that I must state my religious beliefs or non-belief in order to comment on the religious beliefs of Christopher Hitchens and evolutionists?
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : Thats what I said. I've said It like 6 times already. Perhaps you finally get what I am saying. Eventually that can happen, maybe I have to say it like 10 times more or so. Or 20, depending how thick you are.
You cant say what you believe because you have enough common sense to be ashamed about your ridiculous belief. You are embarrassed about your religion. And you should be, because it is nonsense. Its medieval fiction, useless garbage.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 You act just like a Nazi. You really, really do. Anyone who does not agree with you is subjected to a blistering string of verbal abuse and profanity. And yet, you cannot defend your beliefs against anything but Young Earth Creationists, who believe the earth is only 6,000 years old. A pathetic lot you are, but dangerous still.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : No, you brainless wanker. You are superstitious, you believe in nonsense with zero evidence. There is nothing good in your blind faith, you are just plain wrong.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 "you believe in nonsense with zero evidence" I've never said I practiced evolutionism as a religion. In fact, I haven't said whether I believe in the existence of any god or not. It's plainly obvious that your creed of hatred is all about religion though.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : Evolution is not a belief. Its a theory that has mountains of evidence behind it.
You are a creationist. A christian. A superstitious credulous brainwashed ignoramus.
I oppose superstition. I want to protect children from religious brainwashing. I want 18+ label on religious indoctrination. I want religion out of politics, medias, schools, workplaces. Nonsense and pseudo-science deserves just rejection and ridicule.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 Is evolution a pseudo-science, lacking in firm evidence and shifting theories as quickly as new skulls are unearthed? Why must a participant identify his or her religious beliefs or non-beliefs before criticizing Evolutionism? Is it because religion is a competing belief system to evolutionism? You wish to eradicate religion from earth, and with the moral harm that you believe religion causes, you would be self-justified in mass murder.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : Science is never carved in stone. Ridiculous nonsense like your religion is carved in stone.
Thats why your religion is fading, because it tries to cling on to ancient myths and bronze age fantasies. Science accepts reality as it is. No magic needed, no nonsense accepted.
Religion is not a competing system, and evolution is not a belief system. Religion is superstition, its useless garbage and nonsense. Superstition has no value, it has nothing to give for humanity.
bary1234 10 months ago
@matt605 : Again, where do these mass-murder bullshit-comments come from? Is it the religious brainwashing oozing like stinking puss from your rotting brain?
Try to get it to your thick skull, I dont want to kill anybody. I want to provide proper schools and education to people. I want to protect children from lies and brainwashing. Knowledge kills superstition. Proper schools end religions in one generation. And world will be much brighter and better place for it.
bary1234 10 months ago
@matt605 : So you said : "I don't call what anyone sincerely believes to be "shit," which I guess is my weakness as an American."
Lets list some superstitions currently rampant on this planet: People are still burned as witches. Baby girls are raped to cure aids. Endangered species are hunted to extinction to make nonsense-viagra. Hands and legs of living albinos are chopped off for lucky charms. Genitalia of little children are systematically mutilated.
Nice superstitions? Shit even, perhaps?
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 The existence of screwed up humans is not really a new thing. But it is so revealing how badly you need the most disgusting examples of human conduct to make yourself relevant. Religions have existed for tens of thousands of years. Atheism is brand new, and yet it boasts a body count greater than any atomic bomb has ever produced. Tell me what you would say to Joseph Stalin or Pol Pot that would make them cease their mass murder?
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : So you run away from this question as well. Is this also too embarrassing, hitting too close to home?
You said : "I don't call what anyone sincerely believes to be "shit,""
Lets take just one example: Baby girls are raped to cure aids.
That is a sincere belief, men who do this really believe they are getting better for it. Is this a valid belief on your mind? Do you think they are respectfull and deserve no critique and opposition because of their faith?
bary1234 10 months ago
@matt605 : About Stalin or Pol Pot: There are people fucked up beyond repair. Its like religious brainwashing damages the mind permanently, its almost impossible to help superstitious people. So Stalin and Pot should have had proper schools and proper parents and proper society to turn them in to decent people. Lacking that, I could only tell them that causing suffering is wrong, and that people would rise against them and punish them if they committed crimes.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 But the people didn't "rise up against them". Your theory fails. Stalin and Pol Pot killed millions. No one ever took action against Stalin or Pol Pot for killing their own citizens. They remain the most successful atheists of all time. I know you think you would never kill millions, but you don't have that power. You can wrongly call me names, and you jump at the chance to. What little power you do have, you misuse.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : So stalin and pol pot got away with it? What would you say to them? Stop or god gets you after you die?
What is successfull in killing people, by the way? Other than it slows overpopulation off course. Is mass murder somehow a goal in your version of religion? You follow the bible, god commands genocides and all that?
You also think you would not burn witches and chop off legs of albinos but thats just because you dont have the power.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 My point is that atheists are not less violent or less evil than religious believers, and evidence suggests they are worse. Stalin and Pol Pot killed millions as morally easy as washing dirt off themselves. I haven't said anything about my beliefs or even if I have any, but all you can do attack religious believers. To a Nazi, every problem looked like a Jew. To an atheist, every problem must be a creatonist. Atheism is a creed of hatred.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : Again, Atheists can be idiots and assholes too. It says nothing about Atheism. Atheism is rejection of notion of gods. Thats it. Atheism is not a motivation for anything. Nothing is ever done "in the name Atheism."
I attack and oppose superstition. Religion is superstition. Superstition is harmfull and bad. Lies and propaganda should never be taught to children. Creationism is not cause of all problems, bu it is a major cause. Bad enough to be worthy of a fight against.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 Why couldn't Stalin and Pol Pot be considered atheists who killed to advance the destiny of atheism? They were right, just like you think you're right. When you're right, how can an atheist morally permit a human whose ideas and/or genes are fouling up the whole world to live? Human progress demands that inferior thinking and inferior genetics be purged. Mass murder by an atheist is murder in the name of atheism.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605:What destiny of Atheism? There is no destiny of Atheism.Atheism is rejection of notion of god. Being right about god-nonsense says nothing about the person otherwise.
Making up moral judgment is pretty easy, everybody does it. And everybody should do it. Not easy in a sense that we would always be right, but easy in the sense that we always make up somekind of moral attitude to any given action or opinion. Human progress is such a complicated system we cant say what is beneficial to it.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 You wrote: "I want to provide proper schools and education to people. I want to protect children from lies and brainwashing. Knowledge kills superstition. Proper schools end religions in one generation. And world will be much brighter and better place for it." That's atheistic agenda. Accomplishing your goal will require more bloodshed than WW2. At every turn, we see that your idealism and zealous atheism is nothing but a recipe for mass murder.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : And again, how do you get to mass murder from going to school where you are not taught nonsense as facts? Where is the bloodshed if you just shut about your superstition in schools?
Again, just look at Scandinavia. Nobody was ever killed because of religion here, and with proper education we have shaken off religions. There is no need for violence.
Did you know that Stalin went to church school? Thats probably what ruined him and turned him to a ruthless mass murdered.
bary1234 10 months ago
@bary1234 Pol Pot and Stalin are the most successful atheists. Each man rose to become the leader of his nation, and Stalin led his country in war against Germany and on to become a nuclear super power. And their atheism permitted them to conduct mass murder with the power they came to wield.
matt605 10 months ago
@matt605 : So success is measured by amount of murders committed? Why? Is hitler the most successful christian?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the president of USA during World War II, was he the most succesfull christian because so many people died globally during his time in office?
Is this your own intrepetation of the bible or something? God demands war and genocide?
Your god killed every human in the global flood-story, he still rules on the murder-board I think.

@bary1234 "Your god killed every human in the global flood-story" Do you not see how wrong it is to say a person is a particular faith when he or she has not identified themselves as such? I've said nothing of what I believe or if I believe in any religion. Which flood story murderer do you accuse me of worshipping? It's only fair to ask before you execute me for being an accomplice after the fact!
