Dawkins Award - Christopher Hitchens at the TFTC (2/2)

[SanneBree]

When Hitch says: 'I am not as I was' it breaks my heart. He died approx 6 weeks after this speech.

[CaptBFart]

I owe this man so much. I am one of the countless people he spoke to in the void of christianity, and woke me up.

RIP hitch

Hitchslap.......... priceless.

[LeFetish]

Brought tears to my eyes. All Hail the Hitch!

[bassiouniyt1]

what a strong man. I am very grateful to his great book "god is not great" and many video clips posted on you tube in his efforts to enlighten the dark minds.

[Lleanlleawrg]

No atheists in foxholes, huh? Absolute twaddle. And Hitch is evidence of that.

[Valelacerte]

Poor old Dawkins. He lost his mate Douglas Adams and eventually he'll lose Hitchens too.

[dondude69]

I wish the sound didn't crap out at the end. I always like to hear what Mr. Hitchens has to say.

[LynchAdam]

It restores my faith in humanity every time i listen to Christopher. His wit, charm and intellect have been an inspiration for me personally.

[TheNamesBettyNyahhh]

I wept.

[dilwich123]

The man is a genius.

[canbuyu]

what a strong individual.

[BillKiernan]

epic

[garudagal23]

this brings tears to my eyes--what indomitable strength of purpose Hitchens has, his life has been a gift to free thinkers

[ILYIAB]

Standing on the shoulders of giants. Hitch is one of the giants.

[StreetSpiritOne]

it takes a great man to keep on fighting for what is true even at his worst

[KrisBlueNZ]

So sad, but beautiful at the same time. With his illness, Hitch once again demonstrates the non-existence of any just and fair god.

[zContagium]

@KrisBlueNZ whats wrong with him?

[ericflynnster]

@zContagium Christopher Hitchens has esophogial cancer.

[jezmundberserker]

Hitchens and Dawkins together. I feel in atheist "heaven" :-P

[ThirdRAILKink]

It's sad to see him looking like this, but at least he still has some of his vinegar and bite.

[mrsanity]

@ThirdRAILKink I think that is what has kept him going. A man of lesser will would have at least succumbed to the general feeling of malaise that overcomes the vast majority of terminal cancer sufferer's ability to get about.
