Christopher Hitchens at Freedom From Religion Foundation 3/7

[TeDyBearWantsCuddles]

Has he plugged a book yet? What a life going around giving speeches, based on his over inflated ego. And he makes money out of it. Yuck arrogence is so sooo ugly.

[wondergundy]

@TeDyBearWantsCuddles What a life....Jesus and his entourage wouldn't go around mouthing off and plugging books....

[writersblock26]

Thank you for posting this, Flirmy.

[blazereef]

parthenogenesis always results in females so if jesus was real it was a she

[blazereef]

1:08 "suck on that"

[Yellowwatts]

google Doe's Account, its insane.

[ycsmartgirl]

as much as I like the holy books...even I don't want them taught in secular schools. It should stay on Sunday or whenever on your own free time and not funded by tax payers.

[hofnerjoe]

With GOD ALL things are possible. With Mr. Hitchens.....nothing. Human's choice to SIN is why we lost our dominion over the earth. Please don't be fooled by this poor frightened man. Instead pray for him.

[J2124123]

How will prayer help accelerate anyone to heaven? I never understood that. How is it fair that one poor sap who has nobody praying for them will burn, but a morally repugnant person who has plenty of people praying for them gets to go to heaven. Utterly ridiculous.

Hitchens is an eye-opener.

[Astylebabe]

that's what i like with god. all things are possible. hahaha.

[QwidgyboMan]

Show me single discover or enlightenment of knowledge that has ever been made or furthered by band-aiding god's name in place of an unknown? If such a thing exists it is merely accidental and ironic.

[cfibb]

"Making conclusions about what you think is reality" is EXACTLY what we humans have been doing before we bothered to record our history and reflections. It also why we've killed each other in the name o' gawd since then.

[cfibb]

"Phantom leaf" experiments are non-scientific. There is no paranormal evidence of the claimed phenomena. Like crystal balls, chakras, unicorns, etc. they're total bullshit. Otherwise, real scientists of all stripes would be harnessing that power and seeing results.

It's just another product of wishful thinking by new-age types.

[cfibb]

"another brain dead sceptic trying to play science..."

In addition to the shitty grammar displayed, the word skeptic is spelled wrong.

[Gliktch]

Cfibb, I'm sure whichever douche you were responding to was indeed a moron, but sceptic & skeptic are both accepted spellings - in fact, my spellchecker is right now telling me that the k is wrong and the c is right - I guess it's a british/australian/american differentiation.

Regarding the video, wow, I'm so ripping that bit about churches having to give evolution equal time in their services, that's so spot on. If you want religion in our science class, put science in your religion lessons :D

[cfibb]

Totally. You're right about sceptic/skeptic. Funny - my spell checker here indicates the opposite of your results. It is a British/Australian/American differentiation, like colour/color.

And yeah, I was responding to a dummy (whose posts seem to have since been deleted). Couldn't help myself.

We all colloquialize (and often ebonisize) on the Internet in the effort to shorthand, keep it playful, etc. And we all make errors. But sometimes you just have to step in and help a brother out. :-)

[Jesur16]

what word does he say at 0:31? Madrassa?

[FrankinHolland]

Hitchens gets a few things wrong. Early humans had pretty good teeth before sugar and farming. 2) With small human populations there were not many diseases until farming and urbanization came later.

[muzeus]

Well, you made two assertions with no evidence. If there is evidence please post a link or something.

[FrankinHolland]

Just what I picked up on the Discovery Network. The second is common sense. No vectors = no disease.

[FrankinHolland]

There is also good evidence that malaria is a largely human expansion disease also. I will come back and post links as I come across them.

[bcmalloy]

Early humans died with pretty good teeth because the average lifespan was around 28

[Kimbahley]

I would have asked Mr. Collins why, after 100 million years, he thinks God would reveal himself in an ambiguous waterfall display. People looking for answers who 'find God' claim to have investigated most faiths, yet in their search they've already given credence to the idea that the answer must lie in a deity. Much how a girl might fishes for compliments, simulating modesty, others 'fish' for God, claiming to be looking for truth. This is why even Mr Collins can "find God in a lump of coal".

[Lion117]

but he is a little off when he argues that mysticism isn't reconcilable with science.

and he won't mention any talk of the life force. which is what modern science is all about. unless its dogmatic. how can it forget, how can it ignore what underlies all argumentation and reasoning. all action. and so on.

[r22k10]

The fifth fundamental force - the life force! Mediated by particles called morons.

[Lion117]

yes.

[FrankinHolland]

another brain dead sceptic trying to play science. Explain the phantom leaf experiments then please? Making conclusions about what you think is reality is not science.

[Kimbahley]

By 'life force' to you mean to imply that which we obtain from our precious bodily fluids?

[invisblchzbrgr]

I can't get enough of listening to Hitchens. Poor theists sliced thru with his sharp wit... I feel bad for them sometimes that he's on our side. :)

[baalChrist]

It's funny how you are ALL wrong. Baal's wrath will be great when he finds his children have begun to use their heads and are thinking for themselves. Oh and all the christians, jews, bhuddists etc. There will not be any orgies for any of you!! P.S on the third day Baal said 'Let there be eukaryotes'.

[hdz0]

No that waterfall wasn't proof of the trinity. It was proof of the invisible pink three-horned unicorn! (The three-horns-is-one-horn doctrine is proven reconcilable by various rambling books by theologians, I've vaguely heard). What else could it be but a mark by Her Horniness?

[ThePissedOffAtheist]

If you open your mind too much your brain may fall out. There is a point where "open mindedness" becomes idiocy.

[FUCKYOURGODINTHEASS]

He articulates the matter very well,everthing I've always thought,and was ridiculed here in the midwest for saying.A real soldier for the cause, hitchens is.

[johnnyk2112]

Fuckgodass: I had the same experience, only hearing him recently after years of having my views.

[pmarie2003]

WATERfall in three parts? Obviously it was an inverted TRIdent of Poseidon, the true God! Trinity, my foot!  What blasphemy!

[dmlled]

Thanks, Christopher!

[4ourthofjuly]

you could call yourselves "hitch's bitches".

[KillerOfTheSun2008]

Nah ill just call you the bitch.

[megamarsvin]

Sounds like a good name to me. I'd prefer that to "Christian" or "God fearing man" ^^

[hornybodhisattva]

Hichens is soooooooooooo brave testicles of steel

[hexag1]

great post. way better than the camera phone version that was posted first. thnx

[antierratum]

Narharhar, I've always like his 98-thousand-year folded-armed-angels point.

[coke20x]

I've imitated this action when making the same point to those whom have never heard of Hitchens.

[historywillabsolve]

respect the hitch!
