  • I would like to hear more about Hitchens' comments on the Unitarian religion. I think that would be interesting. I find his concept of a celestial dictatorship quite interesting....

  • Chris Hitchens is one of the most interesting intellects out there. His politics are interesting, in that he started off as a liberal and has become more conservative. He is not afraid to be provocative.

  • Down with lunacy and religion.

  • Hitchens tried to write a book but he screwed up on the first letter of the first word of the title.

  • It seems like the uploader is anti-Hitchens but I still thank him for this upload.

  • This is better when he doesn't have an opponent. 100 percent Hitch.

  • 1:39 if you just want to skip to hitchens speaking

  • I think you are mistaking his passion and provocitaveness for anger and contempt. Dawkins is more of a fundamentalist atheist and I don't think you can parallel the 2.

  • I find Dawkins to be just as contemptuous as Hitchens, in his own genteel way.

  • He's a bulldog. We need people like him to make a stand against the irrational mass of theists that are NOT able to accept the simple FACTs of our history like evolution. The moderate theists are not the target, it's the fundamentalists.

  • yemach shemoy vezichroynoy

  • I didn't know he was from pompey!

  • Hitch is cocky and funny

  • The Abraham story is about his willingness to do human sacrifices!! What about Jesus? That's a human sacrifice and everyone eats his body and drinks his blood?? Christianity is based on HUMAN SACRIFICe! And ritualized cannibalism ! Christianity is based on human sacrifice and eating his body and drinking his blood!!!

  • Does sound like something Vladd the Impaler would start.

  • Religion is a mouthpiece for Wicked, evil and selfish people to get their way into peoples mind and pockets and commit the most horrendous crimes in its name. Religion is for The Weak MIND and we should live MINUS it....America Was built from people escaping religion and now look what it has become. Obama used the word NON believers....for the first time...this is a start...soon NON believers will be called THINKERS and Believers as Delusioned..The HUMAN RACE is under threat from RELIGION

  • It's funny if you imagine him shouting the capitalized words.

  • Haha :D

    I agree with him, but he needs to work on his people skills, and use better punctuation and grammar.

  • I think he's a little bit too fired up to be communicating with text. When I get that rowdy I usually communicate through headbutting.

  • lol, thank you for that. i chuckled heavily.

  • I'm an atheist and no fan of religion, but you're just typing complete nonsense...

  • @handyhans126 Obama also used the phrase my brothers keeper from the bible

  • Actually, by one man sin entered the world by conditioning.

    Thus, the baby is not a sinner as sin requires knowledge per James 4:17.

    Hell shouldn't be feared as Luke 12:5 is explained by Matthew 10:28.

  • One of my favorite Americans :)

  • Comment removed

  • cats do rule

  • i'm pretty sure 'terse' is his favourite word! x

  • Why are we un-believers constantly chided for conflating "bad Christianity" with "TRUE Christianity"? Is no "True" christian familiar with the "no true Scotsman" fallacy?

  • It would be ridiculous to attack a non existent entity. He attempts to reason with those that still labor under the delusion of a personal god. A god who minds after you, occasionally destroys cities, and answers your prayers. The crisps analogy is exploded because those are objectively real snacks, between which a choice could be made. As for the crude bit at the end, it warrants no response.

  • Fuck you are a loser, get a job!

  • He doesn't attack god because god doesn't exist.. it would be like attacking the toothfairy.

  • Or as dawkins says Fairys. You wouldn't make a big deal about Fairys would you? But what if all your neighbors did? But if you were raised to believe? What would you believe? Ever seen The Village? Freakn Scary seriously. That's how church goers look and those who sing to Fairys.

  • @utubia1958 Just to make this clear once and for all. There is no person on this planet who turns to atheism after losing a loved one, i lost my mum when i was 9 and after taht i was one of the strongest believers, it took another 4 years until i realiced that all this stuff is just make believe. I know a lot of atheists, non, virtually non of them became an atheist to spite god. IN fact if you did it in spite, you would admit he (or she) exists which would defeat your atheist on the spot.

  • It wasnt much of a sacrifice because jesus enters eternal paradise anyway.You then believe that because of the "cruel"inhabitants of the world,in which this god created.That god has to destroy the world thru horrifying ways,by turning the oceans and rivers into blood,and fire raining from the sky.Where man and woman and child will die thru starvation,diease and his own angels slaying them.

  • I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.T. D.E.S.I.G.N. = "I'm Now Typing Each Letter Like Intelligent Guidance Encoded Nature: Teleologically! DNA's Encoded Sequencing Is Given NONRANDOMLY!"

  • You keep repeating yourself as of you need to remind yourself that what you are babbling is true.You offered no evdience for the claim you are making so i will assume you dont know what you are talking about.Or that you just dont accpet the harsh reality that there is no creator.

  • But I already experienced physical, palpable miracles in my presence to countervail your insipid assertions....

  • Personl testimony is worth absolutely nothing in the real world.And since you have no proof then its redundant.

  • Unless you can prove how you could stand outside a universe you deem as random and without purposeful intent, nothing your typing is taken serious! The words just have an appearance of design, just like you deem the complexity we see and doubt a creator. You are quintessentially evil, yet you would deny that evil exists or that humans fell into sin. Yet you find reasons to invoke an "evil God".

  • So since you fear this world you would much rather believe that this world isnt worth living in without constantly having the creator at your side at all times.Much like a father figure that you never had to begin with.Enjoy constantly 'sucking"up to your celestial diety in the afterlife.

  • Are you a by-product of what Dawkins deems a Blind Watchmaker (Evolution's natural selection's processes)? Are your arguments a by-product of this process, or do you see better than the blind watchmaker that produced you (are effects greater than causes in your random universe?).

  • Killer, I believe in a logical first cause that sustains the universe. In my universe, there is a possibility for logic due to a logical God sustaining it. Where is your proof that logic can be possible without anyone or anything that is logically guiding your evolutionary processes?

  • This isnt just YOUR universe.Already you are showing your innate arrogance that you,all of a sudden,are something special.I must say you are not.

  • Is a random universe devoid of a logical first-cause producing your posts, since you are this Blind Watchmaker's by-product? Does illogic produce logic in your universe?

  • Compare that with yours.You believe in a non-evident entity called Yeshua or Yahweh.Who created the world and all its inhabitants.Flooded the entire world because he didnt approve of his own creation.Made 2 animals of each get on in one large boat.Then later on in the bible, sent his only son,which he was born of a virgin birth,to a horrible death so he can "erase"your sins.Even thou all of this could have been done by god regardless,without the sacrifice.

  • Do you see better than "the Blind Watchmaker" that produced you, atheist? Are effects greater than causes?

  • Though not yet entered as specific sequelae into the Merck Manual,there's apropos nomenclature to describe" a former"Atheist:...Pernicious Alzheimer's of the Pre-frontals Only

  • haha love the sly python reference there :)

  • the religious of all kinds are clinging desperately to whats left of their pathetic mythology, and its suffocating oppressive BS that has kept humanity down. its almost over. fight all religion.

  • I just hope he isn't in the self-same hell-fire that his beliefs will incure someday. The lake of fire is adduced in Revelation chapter 20....

  • Wow.

  • lol that is pathetic

  • Are there de jure miracles?

    like tits?

  • This is to acronym...Your unveiled threats of eternal torment work no longer.We are at an age where reason and logic far outweigh distorted fantasy.Your losing ground in your arguemenets for your hateful unproven diety.

  • K.i.l.l.e.r.O.f.T.h.e.S.u.n. = "Kafkaesque ignorance leading libertinian, ego-driven rhetoricians falls toward hell's endlessness -Scorching unbelievers next."

    The God who made the sun also has made a lake of fire -to wit unbelievers will be deposited consciously if they reject Christ's gift of eternal life that was paid in blood. The gospel is unequivocal on this point.

  • I want you to relay a message for me to your so called every powerful diety that only you seem to communicate with.Tell it to "go fuck itself".Since i dont believe in such nonsense and it seems that you do i would concern this hilarious matter to ridiculous people much like yourself.Thank you for your insnaity and your humorous ability.Oh and by the way,the threats of eternal suffering and hellfire,NOT working.

  • K.i.l.l.e.r.O.f.T.h.e.S.u.n. = Knowledge is logically led. Evolutionary reasoning Obviously fails Testable hypothesis (erroneous Suppositions underscore nescience).

    *nescience can mean "The lack of knowledge" or "Ignorance".

  • Again your retardation is glowing.Your failed repeated attempts to use this so called reasoning FAILS misreably.Maybe your dead jew on a stick can "help"you out with your problems.Try again.

  • K.i.l.l.e.r.O.f.T.h.e.S.u.n.= "Knavish individual's, 'luck-derived logic' leaves empty reasons Opposing Factual Teleological hypothesis eventually Showing unaccidental nature"

    Since you have killed the light ("Sun", as you deem it in your screen name)of logic in your mind, the absent sun is proof of your darkened understanding pagans evince. Paul the Apostle addressed such darkened undestanding pagans have in his letter to the Ephesians (New Testament).

  • Your irrelevantly and stunningly retarded assumptions of my screen name here are quite telling.You can quote from a horror novel,called the bible,all you want and it is not going to make any difference whatsoever in this participation.Your acronyms are quite uncreative and are in need of some repair.maybe your celestial being can propose some help if contacted.

  • You have no sun in your darkened, sin-filled life. Hence, your brain-dead, as for as truth is concerned.

  • OK....

  • Do you know what "Teleology" is? If there is no necessary, logical BEING that sustains the universe, your words typed an hour ago are merely random and without meaning. You and your "sun" have fallen on your own sword. You have killed yourself and your sun.

  • Your lack of common sense is quite noted each time you continue to comment.Its quite telling that you are uneduacted and "fear"reason and logic.Your faith is being found out for what it is and you and others like you are kicking and screaming as your are being put to sleep like the infants you make yourselves out to be.

  • Anyone who believes reason and logic come from a random, irrational universe are steeped in de facto superstition!

  • Reason comes from "accidents"? Logic comes from a universe that is not guided by a logical Being (i.e., God). How can you be a rational exception inside a universe deemed "Random" and without purpose? Are your current arguments designed by a purpose-made brain or are they just the "Appearance of Design"?

  • Oh and that is what we call "dripping"sarcasim.Your fear based illogical tactics are falling short.Your belief is this uncreated entity made everything even thou this creator is unexplained and unproven.Quite a take you have of the natural universe.

  • Are the words you just typed a rational exception to a universe that supposedly atheists think has no purpose behind it? Do you have purpose behind you vitriol or is it merely accidental?

  • Well in your belief sytem,we atheists are eventually going to suffer unimaginable torment and indescribable pain.You have the answer to every question mankind can propose,"God".You are the one who will enjoy the fruits and pleasureness of the godly afterlife.Now leave us to our infinite torment.I surmise you,as a devout christian believer,enjoy rubbing it in.

  • @Acronym77 how pain staking was that useless piece of execution worthy idiocy?

  • @derangius can you tell I'm an atheist by the assertiveness with which I speak?

  • @Acronym77 take your fucking drugs

  • @Acronym77 What EXACTLY were those "palpable, de facto miracles" that you experienced? I'd love to know what they were.

  • @Acronym77 Not to be abrasive, but Jesus Christ, stop posting.

  • Wow, dumb. Read about Monica Goodling and you'll know that Christians moved into key political appointments without being elected because Bush gave Pat Robertson--through Goodling--absolute control over where to appoint his christian partizans. Read a fucking book....

  • They are obsessed with sexual repression in general.

  • richardthripp, you could not be more wrong about Hitchens, he loves the US Constitution, because it is the only one in the world that guarantees seperation of church and state, we have had enough of your libel and slander

  • Good point. I also noticed that Hitler had hair on his head. Just like Jesus and George Bush. I'm begining to see the pattern, but I'm not sure what I can do.

  • Hitler was a christian moron!

    "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so." Adolf Hitler

    "The anti-Semitism of the new [Christian Social] movement was based on religious ideas instead of racial knowledge."

    Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

  • You betray ignorance when you say this. You don't even know what true Christianity is!

  • True christianity?can you explain what that could possibly mean.

  • You still havent told me what "true"christianity is.

  • funny, i think you're wrong. "true" christianity is being nice to people and trying to do the best for everyone. jesus would be disappointed if he saw what a bunch of closed-minded fear-controlled douchebags christians have become

  • You don't need to know what "true" Christianity is, or the finer points of Christian eschatology or apologetics, if you reject the base claim that God exists. There's no evidence for his existence and the universe is simpler without him. If there is no God, there is no reason to worry about what Paul of Tarsus did or did not say.

  • in a way i totally agree with you. i'm an atheist, but i still think that it is very important to have knowledge of and understand religion because so many people in the world buy into that particular snake oil. if we are to understand humanity we must understand religion.

  • Unless you read the Bible then you'd know what your talking about. What you wrote is garbage. Christainity is about following the Bible and no breaking bread with the wicked. Your paying some douchebag money to make you feel better. Self Help Bull that's it. Call it what you like but if it's not Christ of the Bible it's the Devil. Oh that's from the Bible too. People go to church to make me laugh at there bright purple and orange suits and short sleeve shirts with ties man I could n't ask for mo

  • um, i think we're on the same side here, brah. difficult to tell, though, since your comment makes absolutely zero sense.

    not an english major, i assume.

  • It's about what I enjoy not about forming a complete sentence. And here is a note that you could take from Hitchens, if your an english major or if you like english majors and only want to read statements from english majors fine just keep it to your self. Or do you just remember enough from english class to get on peoples nerves. I do suck at englisha and spelling but the zero sense isn't necessary and seems to have made me a little hostle.

  • ok, let me put it clearly:  What in the hell are you talking about?

  • funny, i think you're wrong. "true" christianity is being nice to people and trying to do the best for everyone. This is what I commented on first. This is not "TRUE" christianity that's all. Se? Maybe you were being facetious.

  • How come everyone doesn't have 10 recs?

  • Islam is a cult created by a psychopath. It cannot be reformed. It must be eradicated. Not because the Quran says the Earth is flat or the shooting stars are missiles that Allah fires at the Jinns. These stupid tales could even amuse us. Islam must go because it teaches hate, it orders killing of non-Muslims, it denigrates women and it violates the human rights. Quran 8:12 I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.

  • Haha, sounds like the bible.

  • You obviously know nothing about Islam. If you did, you would realize that the Quran has so much in common with the bible, and both call for the same thing. The reason behind the state of the world at this moment, are people who make up their mind about other without research or, people who judge others and make false claims.

  • That's because the Quran is a plagiarization of the Bible. A plagiarization of a plagiarization of a plagiarization of a

  • not sure if you can call it plagiarization.. as its also pretty different.. you have to respect all views.. like the bible, the torah, and the quran, hitchen makes sense to me, and i respect all views. The danger comes from thinking that your view is the only true one.

  • Well I mean you have to be certain in something, right? I am fully aware of the possibiity that I might be ignorant. If you look at the history of christianity and its context (how it was brought together by the byzantine empire), sort of makes the whole thing a sick joke.

  • tho i agree whole-heartedly with ur last sentence ........ some ideas demand our disrespect ........

  • The bible? Oh.... The mother of all Myths...

  • k.u.r.d.a.t.h.e.i.s.t. = "knowledge underscores real diety's actions that humans enjoy indeed show today"

    An atheist couldn't even make his own brain and the plexiform nature of it... Since thoughts derive from this non-man-made organ, how could man invent a God, whose intelligence alone could have created the human brain? The Super-Intellent being is not a myth, but an engineering necessity!!!!

  • Have you prayed for the "end times"to come much sooner for you?

  • That last line you typed, is it a by-product of an aleatory, stochastic and random universe, or are you its only exception to its random processes?

  • Im inclined to say that you have no idea whatsoever what you believe in.I think you WANT to believe in a creator of the universe because without this creator by your side you are left alone and afraid of the big bad wolf,which in this case is the real world.You would be seen as the avrege joe and nothing more.You want to be "bigger"than this in the sense that your creator has chosen YOu to ve a part of its plan.

  • If you have lived in a communist country like China you would know they don't allow people to read their Bible and the police follow you around if you openly express you belief in a God. People who express their opinions in China are imprisoned or executed. Ok, so let the person comment without being persecuted and that includes callign someone an idiot for having an opinion. youtube is owned by google which allows the freedom of speech, so live and let live ok?

  • What? Did you actually watch this video before you commented? Again you are making the link between morality and religion (which in your case is christianity right?). So without religion we would be Communist??!! Australia is just one democratic country along with many in Europe that are largely secular. We're not contemplating communism I assure you. This simplistic thinking is typical of the religious view point. The more we emphasize belief the less thinking we do.

  • You my friend, are an idiot.

  • True, but keep in mind it is the conditioned mindset unwilling to compromise its beliefs which makes religion dangerous, and that we can fall into that trap at any time.

  • You are looking at the future of human intelligence. And not even distant future... I speculate that in at most 500 years, the ENTIRE human race will be intelligent enough to realize religion is BS, and there is no God. That aside, we can really progress, by answering questions like, what caused the big bang... and mapping out human consciousness like we did the genome. The future is bright, and full of brainpower. ;)

  • I think far less that 500 years, look what's happening in our generation.

    What I feel confident about is that Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris and others will be held in high esteem for theirs efforts to defeat the counter productive credulious beliefs we're so embarrisingly stuck with today.

  • "What I feel confident about is that Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris and others will be held in high esteem for theirs efforts to defeat the counter productive credulious beliefs we're so embarrisingly stuck with today."

    Don't you think that Marx, Rand, and Nietzsche are a little more significant?

  • I smiled when he said the titles of Christopher Hitchens books, lol!

  • Thanks so much for sharing this OM!

    You are really a treasure to Youtube with your videos.
