  • what makes me happy is the fact that he saw this video.

  • Best description of Christopher Hitchens: "Virtuoso Hater" - Michael Ignatieff (Harvard)

  • The two things I disagree on with the Hitch: his choice of government, and his choice of whiskey. Humanism, Atheism, Anarchy and Jim Beam forever!

  • this is great

  • that's the beauty of humanity right there !

    Cheers to you Hitch

  • 2:37 I want to marry this woman

  • He will be missed at the party and it will be a duller one without him.

  • Although it's "too late" to raise a glass for Hitch.... I'm gonna do it; A toast for the greatest free thinker in the world. Cheers Hitchens. You are the best! RIP

  • @DeterminationForever Never too late, my man! Remember Wine is RED.

  • Christopher Hitchens, from far,far,from his cloud he will answer to you guys toast!

    And say: thanks! and add atheist brother, do not let me down, and never abandon the atheist faith!

  • @VyckRo *facepalm*

  • hitch, you thought there is no soul.

    but you were wrong, for once.

    WE are your soul, and our children after us, and their children, and so on, and on, and on.

    thank you.

  • @2:50 was that Wolowitz from the big bang theory?

  • Glass raised to Hitch! An amazing man who used logic without fear and scorn of others. I am tired of seeing 'yes men' in all walks of life and jobs. Hitch would never sell his ass. I hope the world will take note and adopt the truth of reason.

  • @JesusChristDaily You obviously don't know the definition of fact, because no those are not facts. You say prove you wrong? How about you prove yourself right with uh jeez i dont know, how about EVIDENCE. Your the moron bud

  • @TheNicholas03 And no religious people ever die young? My cousin died at the age of thirty and was very much christian and did extra volunteer work for the church every week. Works both ways pal.

  • @TheNicholas03 “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.” -DR. Seuss 3:16 Got it???

  • Comment removed

  • @TheNicholas03 What is messed up is this.... God had his own "son" killed to forgive our magically inherited sins. So if my wife cheats on me, I should kill my children to show her that I forgive her and how much I love her? Your celestial dictator is an ogar! Got it?

  • Comment removed

  • @TheNicholas03 Oh, so with your rational, my children should willingly kill themselves to abolish my wife's wrong doing? Teach me oh wise Jesus! Quote any verse you want, it is all wicked and disgusting. Nothing you said is beyond our understanding, it is primitive, violent and nonsensical and it is sickening that people like you endorse it.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheNicholas03 thats not funny, thats actually quite insulting to christopher's legacy

  • Wonderful tribute video. Made me cry. An immense loss to us all.

  • Hitch, thank you for letters to a young contrarian, Thomas Paine's Rights of man, Why Orwell Matters, The trial of Henry Kissinger, God is not great, as well as endless essays, articles and columns, and amazing youtube pwnages.

  • What book are they talking about it? Serious question actually.

  • @gandj19 God is not great.

  • @JesusChristDaily dog rape? loss of morals? hate of nuns? Those are big accusations and better have something to back it up if your going to say that. You do not know how any of us live our lives so please keep your idiotic shit out of here, you clearly know nothing.

  • @jermmmmm Hey moron they are facts!!! I know you are beyond stupid but most people are aware of reality. Hitch was a cunt and a coward and I proved it. Prove me wrong you brainwashed fucking dolt.

  • @JesusChristDaily If you were really doing what Jesus Christ would have done, you would be presenting reasonable arguments for the existence of your deity. Let us hear them if you have them, unless you just think we'll suddenly change our minds over most-likely empty threats.

  • 1:50 pleaseeeeee link me to that hat i really want it.

  • @JesusChristDaily Replace Hitch with "God" in that comment and that's what I hear everytime i debate one of you cuntbags

  • @DendroidalHD OK lets do that you moron. You now thank Hitch for your dog rape, your loss of morals, your hate of Nuns? Eat shit and die anti-Christ.

  • @JesusChristDaily Atheists have loss of morals? have your read the bible? Timothy 2:12 and you're telling me to eat shit, really loving thou neighbor huh? also when the fuck did i say that i rape dogs, besides no where in the bible does it say i can't.

  • @realoverfake I'm an atheist, and i don't need a book to guide model my life by.

  • @realoverfake Shut the fuck up, I'm not curious about your religion, I've read the Qur'an, the Christian Bible, and the Torah. They're all bullshit and teach sexism, racism, bigotry, and false logic.

  • @DendroidalHD You are a fool then.

  • @JesusChristDaily thank you mr.hitchens its only by listening to you the world can finally realise that wisdom and logic is a special thing many werent born with. Ive never met you but i feels like i know you. It is to you I am greatful

  • @henryporter101 You must not be familiar with what she did.

  • @realoverfake You write that as though what she did was common knowledge.NO,what did she do?

  • @henryporter101 She dedicated her life to helping the poor.

  • @realoverfake No, she dedicated her life to keeping them poor.

  • @mrface19 No thats not right. But poor people stay poor - thats a fact. You need an entirely different system if you want to make poor people come out of poverty.

  • @realoverfake I'm going to point you in the direction of Hitchens' brilliant critique of her "work". He explains it far better than I could.

  • @realoverfake No, screw you. You talk as if you and Mother Theresa were best pals, yet I doubt you ever met her, let alone knew her. I didn't claim she was evil, I claim that her teachings, preachings and ideals did NOTHING to alleviate the suffering of the poor in Calcutta, and will go as far as saying that they in fact heaped more misery on an already desperate situation. She may have THOUGHT she was doing good, but her blinkered religious beliefs were nothing more than rose-tinted spectacles.

  • To Mr. Hitchens.

    Part 1

    The world is a better place for him having been in it. Though that's not the best we can hope or wish for, it is the best we can realistically expect. His anti-theism was merely one...

  • Part 2

    ...outcome of a larger underlying uniqueness, and that is his absolutely uncompromising courageous pursuit of truth. Others talked about waterboarding. He insisted on BEING waterboarded. Others talked about North Korea, he bribed his way into North Korea to see for himself, ignoring the ...

  • Part 3

    ...extraordinary risk to his own life. Others talked about the three "axes of evil", he's one of the few (if not the only) journalists that visited all three. He saw the mass graves in Iraq. He saw the ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. He saw the hypocrisy of Kissinger and Mother Theresa. He wrote more than 20 novels and read near 1000 books. He was an amazing courageous man and will be sorely missed.

  • Atheists, you do know that believing in science is just as radical as believing in any other religion, you're aware of that aren't you? But there's one thing I don't understand about you, no human can imagine how it is to be dead or not here. And how can you live without believing in humanity? And looking at humans the same way as animals? And without conscience? I don't really understand. I'm no anti-atheist, but no atheist has ever influenced me

  • @TheRealHackmaster said [[Atheists, you do know that believing in science is just as radical as believing in any other religion,]]

    Science has nothing to do with belief.

    [[And how can you live without believing in humanity?]]

    I "believe" in the human spirit, which is the opposite of what you think. The human spirit fights against tyranny, slavery, enforced faith in authority and the precept of not judging the world around us. By Christian standards, the human spirit would be Satanic.

  • @TheRealHackmaster said [[And looking at humans the same way as animals? And without conscience?]]

    You dare speak of conscience?

    Christianity is theory that exploiting the torture and crucifixion of an innocent person, who didn't deserve to die for sin-crimes he didn't commit, so that people who don't deserve it can go to paradise, is the ultimate form of goodness, and that self sovereignty and self generated esteem is the ultimate form of evil. i.e. is "the fall" of mankind on earth.

  • @TheRealHackmaster, how can you speak of conscience when Christians endorse an innocent person getting the death penalty for your sin-crimes, and you choosing to exploit this injustice by catapulting to a "paradise" you admit that you don't deserve? 

  • Cheers Mr Hitchens to your beautiful life and your wonderful inspiration!!! (Raises a glass of Johnny Walker Black)

  • "Happy-go-lucky" and atheist are never in the same sentence.

  • JesusChristdaily take your ignorance somewhere else? We are here to remember Hitch.

    You claim that atheists are immoral? Just look at yourself and re-read the stuff you have posted. You are only validating the view that religion makes people do and say disgusting and immoral things.

    Anyway i dunno why i both with hateful idiots like you, you're either just stupid, a troll or you just have a small penis.

  • @JesusChristDaily Those are some big accusations and better have something to back it if your going to say that. How dare you call atheist moral-less, you dont know any of us or how we live our lifes. We do however know what morals christians live by and you have the nerve to call us morons and coward? All of your "morals" are based on the promise of going to heaven and not hell. My morals are based on what I know to be right and wrong as a human being.

  • Thank you Hitch. You were a mountain.

  • Damn... atheists are HOT!!! Because they are smart :-)

  • @Alineniz If thats true then what the fuck is the Theamazingatheist. Voluptuous?

  • @TheDustBunnyKing : hahahaha

  • i'm going to miss you, you clever bastard ;((

  • :-(

  • Could anyone plz tell me what the guy at 2:05 said?

  • @WeakestSoldier

    impetus: stimulation or encouragement resulting in increased activity

  • There is no such thing as a debate over YouTube comments. Everyone go do something, for Christ's sake. Has anyone here gotten any substance from this bullshit?

    But I digress, Cheers to a man who changed the way I think about EVERYTHING. Thank you.

  • So funny that the religious freaks are responding and even quoting "evidence". They are now being pushed more and more into that corner so it's an inevitable evolutionary reaction I suspect.

  • @KITCHENOFDISTINCTION No kidding. There's probably a visceral aversion to admitting to yourself that youve wasted your life for a fairy tale

  • @BoyJewish Sorry my friend this ain't a great argument is it? You must know that. PLEASE just give me one iota of EVIDENCE that the books you rely on are true or original. Christ, I think I read somewhere there are 3500+ different gods in our 6000 years of recording this stuff. You disregard 3499 it appears, so you too are an Athiest of sorts ....WELCOME.

  • @KITCHENOFDISTINCTION Hello my friend.  Please tell me your BEST EXPLANATION of how life originated. I did all caps because I did not ask if you KNEW.....just your best explanation.

    Thank you.

  • @BoyJewish The living Yahweh created life,and the living Yahweh was created by,ah,mm,oh shit,that's where my explanation falls apart.

  • @henryporter101 I agree 100% my belief requires faith in how our Yahweh came to be or how he can be eternal (which is what I believe). But can you Dr. Porter propose how life originated in our natural world? Our law of biogenesis and our cell theory teach it was not by natural processes.

  • @BoyJewish No,I don't know how life originated-so what.It doesn't follow that you do,or that your position is stronger.Why do god people think they have the null hypothesis?the default position?Whatever process created life,created the wasp,stinging nettles,flies and faeces.We Humans didn't know the earth circulated the sun,or how many galaxies there were,or how Natural selection worked.It was the god people who were in the way.Can you please get out of the way with your foolishness.

  • @henryporter101 Hello Dr. Porter! I did not ask if you KNEW how life originated. I asked for your BEST Explanation. I am all ears. It is a very easy question. Let us address the galaxy question after you answer mine.

  • @BoyJewish I have no idea-what's your point?

  • @henryporter101 My point is truth. The truth is life can not arise by natural processes. So my question is this: please give my your #1 main reason you are an atheist.

  • @BoyJewish Because there's no reason to believe in a god-it's that simple.If a reason presents itself to me to believe in a god,then I'll do so.

  • @henryporter101 Here is a reason to believe in God: The law of Bio-genesis. It teaches life only comes from life. Naturalists/atheists say they think life arose by natural means which is their right but science has flatly falsified their belief...comment please?

  • @BoyJewish There is no scientific 'doctrine' that states life can only arise from life-scientific methodology doesn't work like that.Now,you still haven't given me a reason to believe in a god.

  • @henryporter101 I fear a trip down "word game lane" while I want to travel down "pursiut of truth avenue." Lets not play word games....doctrine...law....etc­....how do you think life originated? There is not a shred of evidence it arose naturally and a law of science says it can not....please answer...thank you.

  • @BoyJewish Ah you got me-a magic woo woo person created life.

  • @BoyJewish Not to mention cancer,Viruses such as as A.I.D.S,scorpions,predators who need to kill to survive,but often start eating their prey alive.Mutations and diseases that cause tremendous suffering.There's nothing beautiful about nature,but there is about Human's ability to understand and conquer its more awful aspects.Nature is blind but gave rise to rational creatures.

  • @henryporter101 Henry please watch this lecture. I guarantee you won't regret it and you'll come off as better human being with a better understanding of life.

    /watch?v=IYMKQKSV0bY

    Thank you.

  • @BoyJewish The Law of Biogenesis, attributed to Louis Pasteur, is often cited by strange people as evidence of a magic god. The law (correct term is theory) states that life forms such as mice, maggots, and bacteria cannot appear fully formed. The law/theory says nothing, however, about the biogenesis of very primitive life from increasingly complex molecules. Unless you provide an example!

  • @bobrobNZ Hello Bob! The law certainly address all life. How do you think life originated? What is your best explanation?

  • @BoyJewish No it doesn't. Perhaps you mean abiogenesis? Lots of beginners get confused between the two. Abiogenesis is the study of how biological life arises from inorganic matter through natural processes whereas biogenesis is the theory that living things come only from other living things. Biogenesis says nothing about the start of primitive life from increasingly complex molecules. Unless you prove me wrong :)

  • @bobrobNZ I know them both and I know word games....I am a man of science...please tell me the mechanism that originated life....lets talk science my new friend!

  • @BoyJewish No need. I will never convince you. You have your faith and that's your world. I won't debate you, for each time I bring up something like the difference between Abiogenesis and biogenesis, you will bring up a different point as per what you have done. You stated that biogenesis disproves the theory of evolution. It doesn't. Continue with your beliefs, be happy, and I will continue with mine.

  • @BoyJewish I don't think I could convince you. I believe you have a fixed doctorine that you wish to follow. All your posts on this video show this. Be it on Biogenesis (when you meant abiogenesis)... when I point this out, you say its "word games". Using the same term with another poster as well when caught out. Or you demands for transitional fossils, when I provided 3 example (being specific), you had no comeback. Enjoy life, and enjoy your faith ....

  • @BoyJewish Many people of Christian and other faiths accept evolution as the scientific explanation for biodiversity, why don't you?

  • @bobrobNZ I hope you don't leave....but here is my point....I want to know the mechanics and biochemistry of how you think life originated...I studied college level biology....I want you share science with me....and I looked what 3 transitional fossils did you name i did not see them.

  • @BoyJewish Truth is my friend...I do not know. Nor do you. You simply seem to believe a tale, passed on by your parents or peers, a tale based on many earlier tales with absolutely no evidence. Try reading those texts that were excluded for political reasons. Man-made tales for power etc - surely you can see that?

  • @BoyJewish What an unpleasant god-lover of the loving-god you seem to be, making such an issue of the word "friend". Says much. I'm not a scientist so won't begin to try to explain the origins of the universe. Repeat....I don't know, though I don't replace this with fairy tales.

  • @BoyJewish I'm so really disappointed in your prove the flying tea pot argument. A sad end to my discussions with you. BYE.

  • @KITCHENOFDISTINCTION The First Law of Thermodynamics falsifies atheism...who is pushing?

  • Hitch was one of the greatest thinkers and writers of our time. Just ignore the idiot theist trolls and appreciate everything this man did for rationalism and rationalists.

  • ill admit I almost got a little teary...cheers to hitchens!

  • would you religious nutters get out of here, you're not needed or wanted. Hitch defeated you years ago - you're merely living fossils with brains that were ossified millennia ago.

  • @BoyJewish I believe that about as much as I believe in god.

  • @chomsky88 Hello Mr Chomsky; of course it was an attempt at humor. Ok, you area nn atheist or skeptic, I accept that. Could you please give me your #1 primary reason for your positon? I am a design engineer who loves science, so your answer can be science based but that is not necessary. thank you.

  • All if you who are trying to start arguments about religion do everyone who respected hitchens a favour- read his book first before you judge. Religious or not everyone should still have respect for an intellectual who inspired thousands with his arguments an has died.

  • How could anyone watch this outpouring of love for a man, known only through his words, and watch as people testify to the enlightenment he brought, and then gloat about an imaginary torture chamber? Look in your hearts, if you dare and see the blackness of your desires. You are sadists.

  • @SlowY00 I wish you could one day realize how lunatic and wrong you have been, but sadly there is no afterlife/heaven/hell. There is still hope for you though: education. Your condition however is so bad already that I would also recommend pills.

  • @tontsa911 There is an afterlife. Well, I am med.student and I am an educated religous women.

    I think that you are the one who need pills. Its illogical to not believe in god.

  • @SlowY00 Let me ask you something: do you believe in Zeus, Vishnu or Allah? Why/why not?

  • @tontsa911 I will only say that I am a theist. You need to believe in god, otherwise your destination in afterlife wont be pretty.

    The reason I believe in the particular god is because I find it logical, I feel enormous tranquility and peace in my heart when worshiping him. Thats why. I want to call you to the truth because I dont want to see anyone of you in hellfire, really.

  • @SlowY00 You know, I hope you don't get through med school and set up a practice, if that's your criterion for prescribing meds. I'd like to see one of your textbooks show that chemical intervention is indicated for FAILURE to maintain a delusion.

  • I'm a little late, but.. Cheers! :)

  • 1:24

    "Casual christians" can be relatively easy to de-convert. But when I see a former fundamentalist who has become an atheist (?), it really makes me feel good and have hope in humanity after all :)

  • ...the death of a friend and a teacher I never met... Good-bye Hitch!

  • Brought a tear to my eye. I miss Christopher Hitchens. He made the world a better place. What an amazing man he truly was!

  • I really hope he saw this before he died.

  • @James250791 Yes he did. It says so in the description. I'm so glad he saw this :')

  • Must have made his life worth living watching that video. So so moving.

  • continued: on a solid scale then on the same kind've scale that people in the past have done where one side has more power because of the way they thought, and yes i have watched many Hitchens debates and read a book of his still feel he had a sense of unfairness towards religion. he should've preached the freedom to think as you wish, not the freedom to change your ideals just becuase. I will raise a glass though because he was a well respected man in my life.

  • I deeply respected Hitch even though he used the same scare tactics as those in religious power (was the only raw problem is that he held the same problem with religion as religion did with him) This only created more hatred Hitch should've taken things more proactively told people that it doesn't what you think. Also I liked him, but if you thought he showed you how to think you are deeply mistaken he showed you how to think in a different perspective, I wish he would've preached equality

  • @BazingaZone887abc if you read this take raw out of the words

  • Thank you Hitch!!! Youll never be forgotten

  • "thank you for teaching me how to think, now what to think"

    you nailed it!!!

  • I am holding whiskey (its not J.W. Black but I think it will do) and I am saluting you Hitch! Cheers from Croatia!

  • Hitch confirmed everything I thought of for years, he gave me the guts to voice it as he offered us to read GOD is NOT great!! <3

  • Hitch is the Devils bitch lol.

  • @JesusChristDaily How can you, a follower of Christ find the audacity to comment on a page followed frequently by atheists where you find humor in calling someone the "Devils bitch?" Aside from the fact that you decided to curse in the name of god, you, a christian, seem to find humor that someone would be damned to spreading the news of the 'devil'; your enemy. I mean (and as an atheist, I have no conviction standing in the way of cursing), what the fuck is wrong with you?

  • @JesusChristDaily you believe in god you dont believe in facts, stop lieing to yourself.

  • @compendiumgravemind You got owned again.

  • @JesusChristDaily quit making Christians look bad. It is people like you who turn the world against us. You are not better than Hitch. Quit acting like it. What makes you think you have the RIGHT to judge him? You don't. It hurts me to watch people like you, make completely ignorant and naive comments, about a man who really has done a lot for humanity. So he doesn't believe in Jesus, or any god for that matter. BIG DEAL. He has the right to do what he wants and it isn't your job to judge him.

  • @andrewsapirate LOL you are beyond stupid and certainly no Christian. For you to say Hitch did a lot for humanity proves you are an idiot. Oh wait you are right he probably did more damage to humanity than anybody in modern history. Thousands will follow him to Hell. Please visit my channel buttpirate and see my Hitch video.

  • @JesusChristDaily and YOU consider yourself a CHRISTIAN? I am a Christian, AND I DON'T PASS JUDGEMENT! He was a good guy. You think he is bad because he had different view points than you, shame on you! Who the heck do you think you are? To say he is going to hell and all of these other people are too? What is wrong with you?These people have full rights to whatever they wish to believe and you have ABSOLUTELY ZERO right judging them. You aren't a Christian, true Christians don't do what you do.

  • @andrewsapirate You are no Christian you moron. If you can back up Hitch you are nothing but a troll, liar, and coward. Hey moron JESUS himself tells us cowards like YOU and Hitch are going to Hell. I don't judge I post facts about chicken shit evil morons such as yourself trying to lead people astray. You chose your name well you are nothing but a butt pirate and homo jack ass on the road to Hell.

  • @JesusChristDaily haha why are you so angry? No, I am not a homosexual. I have a girlfriend. I'm only 19 but I feel I have a better grasp on life and understanding others than you. You are so angry at the world, that you have to use curse words in every single sentence. It is sad to think that you will probably never change your judgmental ways...
