Fighting Faith - The Texas Freethought Convention

[k9a2g6]

I know that I should'nt cry, but I did, that little 8 year old girl was realy great, she gives me a lot of hope !!! we need more like her if we're going to save the Planet from rich, stupid, and greedy people.

[DirtyPoopers]

i almost teared up at the end, Hitchens was a badass

[goreziad]

@DidYouJustMakeThatUp i dont want to even IMAGINE ANYONE burning for eternity, theres the difference

[TempleOfInanna2]

Poor Christopher. He once said "I will write until my dying day.", and it appears as if he is trying to keep that promise to himself.

[CATSASS1117]

And God said "let there be light". Who was he talking to and why did he need a light. Is God a smoker?

[HodadWah]

Think living in Texas is bad? Try living in Dumbfucky (Kentucky).

[RyanStash]

@HodadWah Thanks for the clarification on the state, I thought it was Massachusetts.

Just saw several videos on Dawkindotnet channel, I loved Dawkin's quote (back from 2008) : "I was the "bad cop" until Christopher Hitchens came arround" 8D

But it's also true, that "organizing Atheists is like herding cats", for example, I still haven't red "The God Dellusion", because at page 30 or so I was like "there's nothing new, I've realized that myself already", so.. no guidance needed.

IF it wasn't for places (can we say "sh..holes"?) like Texas, there would be no Atheist conventions.

[SwineNahNah]

God's favorite game is hide and seek, and he's really good at it, at least nobody has ever found him.

[scsemmler]

remember the love bit also!

[mavs2147]

Love that little girl at the end. 

[ShallowBeThyGames]

"I wanna grow up to be a freethinker, my mum says I'm not, but I already am" ~ quod erat demonstrandum. Well done little lady.

[jnjoblon]

We love you Christopher.

[ateopuertorico]

Hitchens looks so skinny now, at least I know he has done more than enough for this world in spreading great wisdom. It would have been amazing if we could have him for another 10 years, and who knows really, but I am damn sure I will pass on his words to generations to come, we will all die, but his words will live on.

[dubaipete]

Please don't leave us Hitch. Not just yet.

[slaterohm]

Hitchens, one of those guys I'd actually give an arm for.

Eventho it's horrible, his illness has made for amazing insight and reflection.

much love

[peybak]

@slaterohm me too.

[phead80]

thank you for sharing this.

[benblij]

it scares me how much Hitchens face has changed

[oneirishpoet]

LOL, love the 'ol guy who's there to get away from his fundamentalist family and all the crosses and bibles (if I were him I'd look for a permanent escape, I know I did!)

[oneirishpoet]

the funny thing is that Rick Perry (along with his pal Bush) are the PHONIEST *christians* you'd ever wanna see...hell I don't mind the *christians* who actually believe in a message of peace and love and caring for your neighbors, and if they believe jesus was God and it helps them be kind, loving people then amen to them...but it's these hateful, bigoted, fundamentalist, my-gawds-bigger-than-your-gawd morons who are dangerous and threaten to destroy the planet with their ignorance and greed

[ApostateOfTheDamned]

Its good to see that hitchens is still so passionate about atheism.

[ApostateOfTheDamned]

i don't get the atheist conventions that much, i don't really need to be preached to about what i do or don't believe. though in saying that i would gladly congratulate many of the atheist there on their success

[BakaSeinen]

I was so inspired the moment I saw that 8 year old girl say "I've already read those".

[nett103]

It's good to hear Hitchens voice again. It's a thing of beauty.

Stay strong HItch.

[sakar181]

That little girl gives me so much hope.

[oneirishpoet]

@sakar181 "I want to grow up to be a free thinker...my Mom says I'm not but I already am" LOL, I'd say she probably is...and I think she just gave Hitch some hope for the future and also a good chuckle!

[I85PIES]

@sakar181

Yes, and I think it's wonderful that in years to come she will be able to look back and say, I once met the great Christopher Hitchens.

[420simpson]

[PT109Boat]

@420simpson Dr. Dawkins?  Is that you?
