  • R.I.P hitchens. even if he is in hell ( I do not think he is for obvious reasons) he will still be hitchslapping people down there.

  • "How is it easy for people not to believe in god?" Look at his followers. Look at the evidence for him, or rather, lack thereof. It is easy not to believe. It's harder to hold on to the bullshit assumption that god exists, because you have to keep coming up with bullshit answers by pulling them right out your ass. That's the theist's task. Atheism, on the other hand, is the rational, default answer to the question of god.

  • Why is Stein so loquacious at the beginning of this video....? Just get off the stage...!

  • Bueller.....Bueller....Bueller­....

  • Comment removed

  • "Christopher Hitchens.. He is a super smart guy". Way to dumb down intelligence...

  • John Calvin was Geneva's Kim Jim Jong-Il.

  • Ben Stein accused Hitchens of atheism simply because he--Hitchens-- wasnt in a foxhole. The attack of the person doesnt make one's point. Stein then said Hitchens was brilliant--ha, ha.

  • What's special about Ben Stein?

  • @mrslash11 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' is a sick film XD

  • @SkullOfYorick absolutely true. I love that movie.

  • Stein is such a shifty fuck. Way he phrases shit and leads with his language is sickening.

  • oh shit for a second i thought stein was going to be moderating..hitchens patience would surely be put to the test

  • Goddammit! I wanted to see Hitchens take on Ben Stein! lol!

  • @macgeek2004 Ditto.

  • @macgeek2004 i thought this was a waste of Hitchen's time ...that would be incredibly ..........

    ....

    ...redundant ?

  • @macgeek2004 For Hitch that would be like kicking a baby.

  • @ssguerrand

    Agreed, but now he can't. The late and brilliant man died of a complication of his cancer. R.I.P.

  • hahaha "from ALL five continents"

  • Why did Hitchens bother. It's like beating on a thick, brick wall.

  • @lightandbeautiful

    Homosexuality is genetic you ignorant monster! Seriously, fuck your Bible up it's ass and base your morals on FACTS, man.

    I mean, you might as well be bitching about inter-racial marriage!

  • @macgeek2004

    Seriously dude, please don't misrepresent LGBTs by uttering pseudo-facts as wrong as those of the bible-thumping lunatics.

    There is no evidence for a 'gay gene'. Bigots would love it, and believe me, they are hoping for a gay gene so they could eliminate it from their intolerant world. But, fortunately for homosexuals, it is very unlikely that homosexuality is genetics. That being said, it is probably not a 'learned behaviour' either. It's a false dichotomy.

  • Aww...@1st I thought this was "Hitchens vs. Ben Stein." Now THAT'D be good! Lol

  • On all five continents?

  • Ugh, how do people always manage to mess up the audio sync.

  • I'm Jewish and Ben Stein could make me anti-semetic...

  • BEN STEIN IS A TOTALLY DOUCHE BAG! AND A TOTALL KENSIAN...IDIOT. OH YEAH FOX NEWS? CONFIRMED....DOUCHE!

  • Does anyone know why they had someone introduce someone else, to do the introductions, for the moderator (and debaters)? Is this this a standard (formal) format that I've just never seen before?

  • @Ninpoka9 It is a standard format, though I have a feeling the renown of the moderator was a factor in deciding to give Ben Stein his own introduction. (The introducer suggests as much).

  • Thank you for posting this, pablonoriega89.

  • Ben Stein was an asshole in "Ferris Buelers Day Off"..credentials?

  • Why on earth would Hitchens deign to spend even a few seconds of his time with the likes of Ben Stein? Buhler? Buhler?

  • i so sick of hearing that saying.no atheists in foxholes.since i just happen to be one.i serviced in the U.S ARMY as a proud atheist..that just happen to spend some time in a foxhole..

    no atheists in foxholes truly is a comment from ignorance.

  • @GRIMSTUD70 Not only is it an ignorant comment, but also an offensive one.

  • @GRIMSTUD70 C. S. Lewis agreed. He thought that being involved in the first World War more firmly cemented his atheism. Just a thought.

  • @GRIMSTUD70 The statement "there are no athiests in foxholes" isn't a statement against atheism, its a statement against foxholes :)

  • @GRIMSTUD70 So true. As a retired soldier ( motorised infantry) that statement pisses me off.

  • Comment removed

  • All 5 continents?? lol

  • @TheMrAlwaysRight You obviously missed my point, of course there is nothing physically stopping them. However, it's not simple logic to use science to 'prove' a belief because at any point when the evidence doesn't support your belief you can just say, "God (or whatever) made it that way". It's called an un-falsifiable claim, and is therefore not science and science cannot be used to support (or deny) that claim. In order for something to be scientific it needs to be able to be proven wrong.

  • no atheists in foxholes? wasn't the red army mostly if not all atheists. Ben stein is just a worthless dick and the dumbass who came up with that aphorism is stupid.

  • @halflifeproductionz go back to bed will you

  • Whilst I have no religion, I really benefit from spiritual awareness and reading. I've lived in awe of life ever since discovering eatern philosophy. Zen, Taoism etc, are all profound and deep philosophies that should never be parred off into the "religion" bin by atheists. I do very much understand the atheist's critical grasp on westernised religion and the fundamentalists having studied religious history.

  • @williamblakeism I agree with that statement. I am an atheist but I do believe religion serves as a good teaching point for culture and poetry. But as far as teachings on how to live, it is absurd.

  • thank you times 9

  • There are atheists in fox holes. Trust me on that. As an atheist veteran and former fox hole inhabitant while under fire, I speak from first hand experience.

  • 6:09 "all five continents"

    ben stein is as dumb as his voice

  • Ben Stein is such a tool.

  • Ben Stein is the perfect example of getting an education but not being educated.

  • Lmao "Fax in your questions.." wtf

  • Ive been in a fox hole. Ok it was durin training but sure enough there I was in a fox hole. I am an atheist and I have been in a fox hole.

  • wow ben stein is damn near retarded

  • @minja30000 That's sort of insulting to truly retarded people. If anything, being retarded would be a step up for Ben.

  • @IAJstea Very true I respectfully withdraw my comment. Ben is more like a mislead uneducated ignoramus who seeks to engulf mankind in a maelstrom of stupidity.

  • @minja30000 Damn near retarded is being very generous to Ben Steins mental abilities.

  • @minja30000 Why are we told to believe that that man is so smart? He is a complete bumbling boob of bombastic and blustering proportion, to venture no further than the "b"s.

  • ok right off the bat, alarm bells went ringing when it turns out the host is from Fox news...

  • apparently our believing brothers and sisters need the "debate" concept spelled out to them beforehand, just so they know there might be a chance that they are wrong about something.scary.

  • Ben Stein is the person Matt Groenning inspired himself on to build Millhouse. ;)

  • Religion was created when the first con-man met the first fool. Mark Twain

  • @ttgator2003 voltaire said it first!

  • @ttgator2003 thats the best quote ever about religion

  • @ttgator2003 Holy crap.. never heard that before but I LOVE it! Can you please go through YouTube and post that on every pro-religion video? lol

  • @ttgator2003

    Atheism was created when the first con-man believed there was no creator. He was too dumb to realise that, by logical necessity, this means the universe created itself.

  • @Prologicful LOL Youre so stupid that you dont even realize that the universe DID create itself. Through Nature, which in itself has evolved over time. Who created god, smart one?

  • @ttgator2003 said "the universe created itself."

    That's brilliant, Einstein. You have proof of the universe creating itself? What are you doing on youtube?? You've now solved one of the biggest cosmological mysteries ever. Please, bring your proof to an astrophysicist.

    At the Singularity all time, space, & matter were condensed to a single point. So whatever created it had to exist OUTSIDE time & space

    Existing outside time and space sounds a lot like a creator you don't believe in.

  • @Prologicful Why couldnt time, space and matter react on its own? Youre argument is so weak its pathetic. " I cant explain it, so god did it." Idiot! Who created god?

  • @ttgator2003

    Focus like a laser beam, Brainiac:

    All evidence we have indicates the universe is not infinite. Since you do not believe the universe was created, you are, by logical necessity, saying it created itself.

    Take a Beginner's Logic class, dumbarse.

    As all time, space, and matter began with the Big Bang, whatever caused the BB to happen exists OUTSIDE time. Existing outside time means there's no start date and renders all "Who created God?" questions pointless.

  • @Prologicful This is CLASSIC! LOL...Arguing with some dumbfuck that believes in people being raised from the dead, burning bushes, water to wine, virgin births, and so on, and so on! Talk some more "fantasy science" and someone might, just might convert from being a logical thinker, to a dumbass. LOL Youre pathetic.

  • @ttgator2003 I bet Kent Hovind is your hero!!!!

  • @ttgator2003

    You're a classic shit-for-brains. I'm a deist, and belong to no organised religion. But at least the religious aren't so stupid as to believe the universe created itself. Go stand outside a church on Sunday and taunt little old ladies about their spiritual beliefs. That always makes loner, loser atheists feel superior.

    Meanwhile, keep believing in a magical, Disney-like universe that creates itself, you cunt.

  • @Prologicful Classic creationist...Talk a bunch of shit, get mad, call names, take your ball and go home. Like I said, you're pathetic, and always will be. I'm totally done arguing with a dumbass now. Bye Bye

  • @ttgator2003

    Why couldn't time space & matter "react" on its own?

    It can't react when it didn't exist. There was NO time, space etc before the Big Bang, remember? There's NO evidence this is only the latest iteration of a chronically expanding/contracting universe

    The universe is NOT eternal. If it was it would've had eternity to cool to absolute 0, but hasn't. It's 2.7 degrees Kelvin. Because it's not eternal & atheists don't think it was created they're saying it created itself, dumbfuck

  • @Prologicful Boy, You should be published!... In "Retards That Believe God Created The Earth" Fucking Loser

  • @ttgator2003

    Do you still believe in the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny, little cunt? Of course you do. You live in a magical cartoonish universe that creates itself.

    Take your dick out of your boyfriend's arse and go to sleep, cunt.

  • @Prologicful Your statements are getting better and better at reflecting your IQ, which is about 25. You have got to be the dumbest fucking pussy boy that I have ever seen. I bet the best part of you ran down your skanky mothers leg. I bet when she cuts her leg, gravy pours out. Fucking Loser

  • @ttgator2003

    The best parts of you flushed down the toilet after a particularly passionate buggering by your African master in gaol.

    ttgaytor sucks his own knob in bus station public toilets, patiently waiting for the self-creating universe to create another African who will stick his protruberance through the hole in the wall of the stall next to him.

    If he focuses all his mental powers ttgay thinks he can creat another hairy arse, just like his last boyfriend's.

  • @Prologicful Your gayness is shining through in your fantasies that play out in your head on an intense level. For someone to even come up with such sickness shows that they were probably molested by both parents. Hell even grandma and grandpa were probably in on the fun. You are not only dillusional in your theories, but in everything. You really should seek help at once! You are polluting the world with your stupidity and sickness.

  • @ttgator2003

    Stand on a street corner with bits of foam spewing from your mouth and preach that you're smarter than everyone else. You have it all sorted out: the universe created itself, without cause! Never mind that nothing in our universe creates itself! You're the smartest guy in the room!

    You're so smart you fall for the false religion/science dichotomy. You hate religion so much you've fallen for another complete crock of horseshit.

    Go fuck yourself, silly cunt

  • @Prologicful<--------- Religion is for Dumbfucks like this

  • @ttgator2003 <--thinks cartoons and fairy tales are real, thinks the universe created itself, thinks gay marriage will be a great idea as soon as he can get his ass to self-lubricate like a vag

    He lives in his Mummy's basement stockpiling lubricant for the 2012 Mayan apocalyspe and investing in properties he knows will come into existence as the universe continues to create itself in unpredictable places. After all, some of his heroes in Star Trek vanish and reappear, and that's real, right?

  • @Prologicful Goodbye you stupid fuck.

  • @Prologicful "All evidence we have indicates the universe is not infinite."

    What evidence?

  • @Prologicful ur assuming something HAD to create it. I will concede with you that before the singularity we will be hard pressed to find what caused it to release energy and matter, but your position of god did it is improbable due to the fact god does not exist which has been debated on using other points such as the logistics of hell, the devil, the bible, morality, evolution, etc. Baisically god is retreating behind an event which we are still explaining...as he/she/it always has been

  • @SmogHouseTradingCo I see just above your comment someone on your side of the argument saying he hates those who think they have superior knowledge yet you say something such as... IF THERE IS ONE IT IS NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT AS GOD... So, maybe because YOU dont think it is God we should all follow your logic? Because You say so? Maybe you should tell us all what is moral and what is not. I am talking about those things which draw the line and you get to choose for benifit

  • @abeeftec No, my logic is borrowed from thousands of years of pragmatism. If you want to claim their is one god you are also claiming all the others are wrong. So to belive in a god means you must think of other religions as shams, which leads to the thought, why isn't your religion a sham too? There is no morality, morality is a concept humans use to describe natural phenomena. Anything "good" or "bad" is labeled so from a cost benefit analysis by the participants, it's relative....

  • @SmogHouseTradingCo So why do we have laws if there is no morality? I would like to punch people who act stupid and not be locked in a cage when I do it.By your standard that would be perfectly acceptable. REALITY suggests we do need laws or what we want would happen. So SInce we WANT to punch people when we get angry... Why are we considered a blemish on society it is not an issue of morality? And WHO has the right to LABEL whats what? Oh you belive in Dictatorship by default

  • There are Atheists in fox holes! I was one of them, and surely not the only!!

  • Non audio/video sync makes me mad...

  • Comment removed

  • @Pooternackle5 Sorry dude, the guys a complete fail-boat. He's a great source for moronic quotes though. The movie expelled was one great big hilarious ben stein failure.

  • @Pooternackle5 No, the man is a failed economist, a hack game show host, and a moron.

  • thank Youtube we can just skip stein's near-endless blathering!

  • Ben Stein is talking way too long. I CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH OF BEN STEIN'S VOICE

  • OMG 10 minutes and the debate havent even started yet???? O_o

  • The very misleading thing about every thought that Hitchens has comes from his history of being indoctrinated with lies that men perport regarding Christianity. Because someone says they are a Christain does not mean they are. The Man made doctrine through misunderstanding and lazy studies regarding a series of good decisions making you a good christain and therefore saved is so far from what the Bible actually teaches. Read it for yourself instead of just looking up verse

  • @abeeftec Ah, the no true scotsman argument. So do tell me abeeftec, please give us the ultimate definition of a christian. And no, we don't need your personal opinion on who is a christian.

    As far as I'm concerned, if someone goes to a church, believes in god, and says they're a christian, they are in fact a christian.

    But we all know you'll simply cherry pick the people you want to 'include' as christians.

  • @glassbrain A TRUE Christian is one who agrees that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and who has repented of his (easiest way for you to understand) SELF nature and agrees with God about his Condition of total depravity(meaning cannot Accept God, wants nothing to do with him, and his whole life runs from HIM). The ACCEPTING Jesus Christ as your personal savior through a Prayer crowd have it wrong as its nowhere in the bible. So you would be wrong.......

  • So WHAT YOU ALL KNOW is Not much. Because I dont PICK someone to be a christian. They either are or are not. Claiming it does not Mean you are one. Jesus himself said,On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.'

    "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

    And also,..............

  • Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.

    And also,

    There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death(eternal seperation from God)

    So you see, Many think they are, And even Call him LORD. But the truth is that the way is Narrow. And most people think the way is Asking Jesus to come inside this ontological door of their heart because of a false understanding of a Scripture in Revelation which says...

  • If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

    This is mistakingly Understood to be that door. Which Jesus is speaking to a CHURCH. Not a person in that verse.

    Misunderstanding verses is not what I am calling NOT A CHRISTIAN. What I call not a christain is the masses of people who say they are Christains and still live the SELF life. Jesus clearly tells people that who he loses his life shall find it and he who keeps his life shall lose it!!

  • So very simply said, If someone claims to be a Christian and it is still, In their minds, All about them! Then they are NOT a Christain by the very definition of PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME. That is the Co Crucified life of the believer. Picking up ones Cross means the Death to self gratifying and the picking up of Christs life. Do I think this is something men can do Perfectly as a Christian? NO! I think that any man can be carried away by his own LUSTS OR MOTIVES.

  • And when I say LUST I am sure you think I mean sexual. And I do not. I mean that Unless a man lay down his life for CHRISTS SAKE HE CANNOT BE A CHRISTIAN!! And I DO NOT MEAN Someone who Goes KORESH on people or thinks God is telling them to do something insane and Contrary to Scripture.

    You see, YOU are in Bondage to your own Desires and you cannot live without those. You MUST do what your Emotions and desire tells you to because you are not free from that. In fact......,

  • To you that is all life is about!! DESIRE, ME, MY MOTIVES OVER OTHERS, What I Want, WHAT I WANT!!!! WHAT I WANT!! And you will never admit that in front of anyone but you do not see that we were Created to enjoy God!! But Instead every man exalts himself above God and puts himself in the seat of God in life. And sure there are those who do good deeds for others. But of COURSE with self motive mixed in. You can say all day giving money to someone poor is a good deed and I will say.....

  • You cannot do anything for anyone UNLESS you take CREDIT FOR IT. Because YOU MUST BE EXALTED as a good guy and in your mind EVERYONE MUST KNOW YOU ARE A GOOD GUY or GIRL!! THEY MUST!! Or to you it is pointless doing something for someone else that would be considered a Good samaritan.

    You think this is about Being Moral now i am sure. And that is not it at all. I AM SPEAKING on matters of the heart. How you must exalt yourself so everyone thinks you are better then they. You know it.

  • When someone tells you a story and you MUST trump it. your desire to make others look foolish is only a deep seated desire to exalt yourself. When you call someone else DUMB, OR anything less then how you want people to perceive you all the while knowing that you do not measure up. Yet PUSHING to try and make someone else think you do. THE HEART MOTIVE. EVERY ONE OF THEM CONTINUALLY EVIL.. that is what evil means. NOT BAD DOING. But SELF DOING. See you do not understand the bible nor can you.

  • Because you do not possess the Spirit of God and are Spiritually dead. If you were made alive Unto Christ then your Spirit(That which God placed in every man and made him God Conscious instead of that self I was speaking about above on only ONE of the points it is selfish about)Would Be ALIVE and your Blindness would be removed. But you do not even seek God. The best man can do is form a God in his mind and Worship that. I see so called Christains and others do it all the time.

  • But they cannot be Spiritual if they are Spiritually dead(in the Bible Spritually Dead means RENDERED IN OPERABLE, In other words... Doesnt work, broken, cannot Communicate God Consciousness, is blind and cannot see past his own self life). This is what Christ does to a Child of God. And the first thing that happens is SELFISHNESS GOES!!). And trust me when I was Granted REPENTANCE(To turn away from or do an about face and go the other way) My blindness regarding Men was lifted and I now see.

  • And YOU with your blind eye CANNOT tell me that I do not see just because YOU DO NOT SEE and YOU do not have Proof. You see buddy, The burden of proof is not on ME because this is NOT science and I dont care WHAT science says. The Burden is on YOU to know what life is about before YOU DIE and go into eternity without TRUTH. You KNOW I am right about self life and Bondage. You know you cannot do anything that does not come back to self. And you KNOW that you cannot see!! But you cannot say I dont

  • Just because I cannot offer PROOF to you in some sort of COSMIC way does not mean You can tell me that at one point in time my mind went from always wanting women, Wanting acceptance from people, Wanting to be the best at everything in life. And every person who is not a Christain that I have spoken with since ALONE does NOT deny when I tell them that was me and ask if that is an issue they have as well if they really look close at the futility of life. EVERY ONE SAYS YES that is true!!

  • Yet you atheists DENY IT because You 1. Dont want anyone to see your weakness and 2. CANNOT SEE ANYTHING BETTER!! So your Angry that to this point you dont SEE so you say I do not or Christains do not. The burden is on Jesus to show you and if he does not show you then it is only because of your contempt and foolish wisdom that he CONFOUNDS you from seeing. Because YOU think the Wisdom of men is a thing to be Had. Top notch, Nothing beter, MAKES YOU LOOK BETTER THEN SOMEONE ELSE.He will resist U

  • @abeeftec woo woo, you post like a funamentalist that lacks faith, by having to perpetuate the self deception to yourself and others. doesnt your sky daddy have it all in hand?. your multipull posting suggests not. TFSM. good mental health to you son.love and peace man.

  • @kram83au And you, Like everyone who does not have an answer(because you know i am right as I said) revert to insults because you just dont have an answer. So you TRY to insult me, weakly I might add. I do not lack faith pal, Thats why my answer is thorough so you cannot handle it. I doubt you fully read what I wrote because I highly doubt that any of you Atheists are thorough. Lazily learning other peoples statments and then repeating them like a parrot. never learning for yourself.

  • @abeeftec what question? theres that much nonsense to get through, that its steeped in a mass of self deception. like hawking said, science shall win.que more nonsense lol.

  • @kram83au Yeah anything I say to you would be nosense since you do not read it anyway. Like hawking said, Like hitchens said.. Can any of you SAY SOMETHING YOU SAY about the subject? Any time you want to run one of your lame insults you use someone else to do it so as to qualify your thoughts with someone else. how dare you call my life self deception without knowing me at all. You do not know me or what I have been through in my life or what my experiences are. You are delusional.

  • @abeeftec self deception, didnt eat you up did it?. there are far better people of higher intellect than ourselves, so i quote from the great minds,from freethinking minds, those that chose not to delude themselves. unless people of such elk like hawking, einstien,sagen,darwin,are not up to your standard,hey you win. myth over reason,hope this makes you feel better. lol.

  • @kram83au See you think somehow I denied that they were Great scientists and made contributions to science. What you fail to see is not one of them claimed they could Prove or that their findings PROVED God does not exist. NOT ONE. Yet you conclude it by reading their works. So tell me, Why, if they could not draw conclusions, Do you? That is the issue. Not whether these men were smart people.

  • And one more thing... Nothing you have said has eaten me up because nothing you have said has proved anything related to God not existing. Your arguements based on Stories in the Bible not being possible does not have any merit because IF there is a God who created everything it is not a stretch to conclude that he can change laws or break them, or has ways around them to prove power to those who he wants to carry his message to mankind. That is NOT impossible.

  • and therefore your thinking on the subject is conditional with the belief that God does not exist. For those who believe he does those STORIES make all the sense in the world and are part of the evidence,(That not even one of his enemies denied that these miracles happened but said they were done in the name of satan), You fail to see that these people who had all to gain by saying there were no miracles still did not deny that something happened. PROVE they did not happen.

  • @abeedumb .no god, just an imaginary friend now grow up. please. its not good to approach life with such self deluded values.. oh and your point about scientists, they couldnt disprove faires either, get it. probably not.no doubt youl print more long winded bollocks about your childish myths or attempt to take down science, by useing science technology to get your point across. get it . probably not. lets have a verse or two from your book of fiction, thats always consoling. entertain me.

  • @kram83au Who do you think you are insulting people as if you are some EVOLVED MIND. You will find out that your wrong. Dont reduce God to human imagination. I never used Science to do anything. Again, All you got are insults. And then you try to speak like your hitchens. Who is in fairy land now? Acting like someone your not with your condesending tone. Not one of you have said anything other then smart ass answers with smug attitudes. If that is where humanity is evolving I want none of it!

  • If your Goal was to get people to see that we have evolved past needing to think of a God then why would you do nothing but speak as if this is really about you? Like what is on the line here is your intellect? Funny how you EVOLVED thinkers are acting as if you are the wave of the future. You are nothing but a punk that thinks he is superior. Believe me pal, You are not slick at all. I know you worry like anyone does about your life. Keep hiding behind that tough exterior of superior thinking

  • @abeeftec yeh of supposed faith, look at the amount posts youv made, do you really expect anyone to take you seriously, i see i still have an effect on you. doesnt your sky daddie have it all in hand?, you dont need to do his work, or do you? religion is purly man made, steming from the pagens/egyptians,seeking an after life or looking for explainations to the natural world. depending on the country you were born youd still be spouting bollocks about that particular faith. so get over it.

  • @kram83au You are purely speaking just to hear yourself. LOOK AT HOW MANY POSTS YOUVE MADE. Explaination from Questions and nonsense. Did you get Bollocks from Lie to me or are you from the UK? Australia? Great Britain? Seems to me that you need that word in everything you post now? Are you trying to be someone? OHHHHH I get it. Hitchens said it in the debate so now its your word too! Can you be anything other then someone elses mirror image? AMOUNT of posts means something?

  • Can any of you contribute anything other then insults and PROVE what you say about the GUY IN THE SKY Not being there? Dont tell me how I need to prove he is because Before you insult something that has been around for far longer then you and some of the worlds greatest achievments and contributions have been from PEOPLE OF FAITH. Dont talk like it is worthless when you know nothing but what someone else tells you. And you bother me? HA Give me a break, When you speak its proven you know little

  • @abeeftec Atheist don't claim theres no go and that they have proof of that claim. They claim there is no reason to believe a claim that there is, for such a claim has no evidence to support it. Now, these, "worlds greatest achievments" by, "PEOPLE OF FAITH" is nonsensical. what achievements? The dark ages? The spanish inquisition? The crusades or jihads? the 16th century French wars on religion? The persecution of the Waldensians? No shit religion has been around far longer than me. So has Thor

  • @abeeftec as for bollocks, think of never mind the bollocks by the band,the sex pistols.and the song anarchy in the uk. with the lyrics,i am an antichrist .so yeah i like to use it as much as the next brit. one other thing,id suggest you count back on the posts you have made on this video. finally, this is going nowhere, we are militant in our position,so theres nothing further to be said man. if there is a god, whatever religion he belongs to he certainly plays no part in our lives.bye fur noh

  • @abeeftec "Dont tell me how I need to prove he is"

    You do have to prove he is. You're making a positive claim that something exists. If that's true, then by definition it must be demonstrable. If it isn't, you haven't proven your case, and you have no basis for believing it, much less insisting anyone else does.

    If you don't agree, or don't understand, consider this: why don't you believe in Zeus? Why don't you sacrifice to Mithras? They've existed longer than you, after all... ostensibly.

  • @PatchesRips I am not making any CLAIM as to say that I believe JESUS claims!! HE MADE THE CLAIMS. Yet you think its on SOMEONE ELSE to prove Jesus claims to you. The truth about this is we will all find out some day and I would hate to be on your side of things. Other speak his words because HE ASKED them to. So I see it like this.. If you do not search it out, But keep hearing debates and forming opinions on others lack of discernment then you are a follower of the majority mentality

  • @abeeftec "I am not making any CLAIM as to say that I believe JESUS claims!!"

    You're claiming A) he's a god, and B) that there are punishments coming the way of anyone who doesn't believe that. You need to prove both of those claims or there's no reason for anyone to believe them.

    The truth about this is we will all find out some day"

    Unless it ISN'T true, and there are no gods, and no afterlife -- then you'll have wasted the one existence you have sitting around pining for another.

    Not me.

  • @PatchesRips 1st I claimed that hitchens misquotes the bible and was dragged into it by insults and enuendos about what I think. I never said what I believed until someone asked me. And I do not need to Prove any of those claims nor can I. The day science can put a USB port on my head and extract the information and do the same of your head so I can upload your thinking, Then we will be on the same page. Until then.. IT IS YOUR DUTY TO YOURSELF TO SEARCH and NOT DENY IT just because you HOPE.

  • @abeeftec "And I do not need to Prove any of those claims"

    Yes, you DO. You keep asserting things like "his ways" as positive knowledge to other people. That requires proof, and that won't change no matter how many times you insist it doesn't. And I agree, you probably can't prove those claims -- so the logical upshot is, you shouldn't be insisting them to be true in public.

    "IT IS YOUR DUTY TO YOURSELF TO SEARCH"

    I did. I came away convinced it it's simply a human concoction.

  • @PatchesRips you know you do one of the things I cannot stand about forum people. Take every thing someone says. Pick out the things you had a quick thought about, put it in quotes and then say the opposite no matter how stupid it sounds. What the hell do you mean I DO NEED TO PROVE?? I do not owe you anything. I am asked by God, Rather commanded, To Preach the Gospel, of which was done here in some context above, And then to shake the dust off my feet and leave.Which I have not yet done.

  • And as for you calling it a human concoction, Lets see you and a few of your friends in the atheist community, ALL PICK A SUBJECT, and then each of you write a book, and see how much all of your themes harmonize. You think you can do that with just 3 people? So it is a bit more representative of biblical writers..pick someone of another language and someone else much older then you to do the same. All of you write books and then try once you are done to link all the books together.

  • @abeeftec "see how much all of your themes harmonize. You think you can do that with just 3 people?"

    If they're supposed to be, are CLAIMING to be, writing for one omniscient and perfect author, that's the very least I would expect. If they're not, why would I? The Bible shows all the handiwork of being just a lot of vaguely connected fiction of the kind you're claiming WOULD be created by such a process, and so why not recognize it as just that?

  • @PatchesRips Now consider paul didnt even see the point and studied it all his whole life!! And what happened?

    Did not God show him where he missed it?Imagine what must have went on inside of Paul when he realized that everything he thought he knew was wrong! Then once he saw it(because it takes God to show you) then he became the most zealous towards truth.YES he thought God wanted him to DESTROY those who did not see it the way the Jews did. Then he realized the Jews(herd) had it wrong ALWAYS

  • Not that the Jews had the wrong God! But that they read from the same books he did,had the same thoughts, But if not by an intervention from God they thought it was all OUTWARD. Which is how you studied for 6 months!! Trying to pay pennance for whatever it was you did in your life. Boy for you wasnt it much easier to find there is no God at all? Who knows why God didnt show you. Remember science is ok not having all the answers.. And so are WE!

  • @abeeftec "Did not God show him where he missed it?"

    Missives attributed to Saul of Tarsus, later "Paul", attribute something like that to him. But you still haven't told me why I, or anyone else, ought to believe it.

    Of the road to Damascus, I will say this. I find it highly illuminating that, instead of being able to see for the first time, when Paul was made aware of the "truth" of Christianity, he instead became... BLIND. I think that's a very telling point, myself. :)

  • @abeeftec "What the hell do you mean I DO NEED TO PROVE?"

    In a nutshell: that your god exists, that he also is the creator of the universe and humanity (and not merely an observer), that he said the things you say he did, and how you purport to know that. If you want me, and society in general, to abide to the principles you set forward -- make laws and public policies and morals -- then you owe it to us to establish the basis for that.

  • @PatchesRips In a Nutshell, I dont owe you anything. You owe yourself to search it out more so then 6 long long blistery months in the convent. Which I highly doubt you dedicated that 6 months. It was more like 6 months trying to disprove it all the while giving a little heed in case it is true. Due dilligence is over and now you can go about being whatever it is you want to be. You know that you think evil continually. You know it. Try to hide behind being a good honest atheist. But you know
