We jesus freaks don't care if atheists go to hell; we will always believe in eternity or rather yes lets believe in a alcholic like hitchens over God. No wonder he's ostercized by his own family.
@wilddogsamca Within you burns the passion of truth. Don't waste it on an online argument. Continue reading and educating yourself - I'd love to see where you would be in five years compared to your proclaimed enemy here.
@wilddogsamca And you're backed up by bible passages accusing him of gluttony, public drunkenness, not abiding the law, lying, arrogance, breaking family connections and degrading his mother in public, the demand that he alone should be exempted from crucifixion (probably had some shit done to deserve that one), stealing, coveting, extortion, false prophecies, little knowledge on the OT and probably some more stuff I forgot.
@NorthNorth2009 Talking about alcoholics, is jesus kicking off already? Oh and jesus got ostracized by his own family. Too bad there's no eternal bliss waiting for you, just the ashes.
@NorthNorth2009 Nobody qualifies to the rules made in the bible. So go ahead thinking in a doctrine that would send a good, honest man to eternal torture simply for not believing in something foolish. I'd rather go to hell in the wake of Satan having killed 3 people (with permission of god), than to submit to a god that has killed millions and smiles in himself for doing so. And that's just the hypothetical case, as the chance for god's existence is smaller than a singular point in space.
@avdmeers No you wouldn't want to go to hell and God does not smile at himself you're delusional. The bible quotes are history and the stories of ancient aliens anyways you wouldn't understand it.
@NorthNorth2009 We all know that in your mind you doubt your own religion at times, but you've been taught ways to suppress and come up with diversions (instead of real answers). The bible is not written by "eye witnesses", it's got major contradictions that apologists have no answer for and "solve" with tactics to divert the attention away.
And what's that idiotic crap about ancient aliens? That's one pf those other things that completely do not occur in the bible and you make up for fun?
@NorthNorth2009 What makes your ego so inflated that you think that nature requires your eternal presence? And how desperate are you to cling on to the barbaric idea that torturous human sacrifice would influence the natural order to your benefit? Your lack of compassion is ugly (and for all to see), but it dwarfs compared with the naivety of your motivations. Have you no dignity?
@studioROT Bla Bla Bla I don't listen to alcholics. Human sacrifice has been and is still going on today but no one seems to care nor are they doing anything about it. Just look at the poisonous vaccines, the hazzardous food that is being fed us, the chemicals we are exposed to. Are you doing anything? And yes I do believe we are eternal, spiritual beings.
@NorthNorth2009, my reference to human sacrifice, was specifically aimed at Jesus' barbaric murder which you consider so beneficial for your own personal eternal well-being. What do I do about it? Writing these words.
Ironically, in this context, the alcoholic of whom you so disapprove, wrote somewhere that if he would have lived in Jesus' time, he would have tried to stop the slaughter. You sir, seem more than happy to go along with the ugly bloody methods of the superstitious.
@studioROT There is no such thing as Jesus' barbaric murders you have been reading the wrong book; Jesus brought the dead back to life. Why are humans slaughtering each other to this day? Hitchens isn't doing a good job of stopping them.
@studioROT Where do you want to go with this? Do you think you can convince me that Christ does not exist? I don't think so. We are eternal creatures and our life purpose is spiritual evolution.
@NorthNorth2009 , why do you not answer the question: Is it your conviction that Jesus was tortured and murdered for your personal eternal benefit?
It is important to state the position of a christian in order for the godless to understand. I do not try to convince you of anything. I am just interested in the views of a christian, but you seem reluctant to share the answer of that question with me.
Is it your conviction that Jesus was tortured and murdered for your personal eternal benefit?
@NorthNorth2009, It would be grotesquely idiotic to suggest that Hitchens' murder would be beneficial to me in any manner. Such barbaric notions are held by the gullible faithful. It disgusts me to know that people gloat over the horrible murder of a young man (Jesus) as if it was something really good for their own self-centered position. Shameful!
@studioROT I hate the idea of Jesus being murdered, it's sad that he lived so little; we Christians are not happy at this. The only ones who do gloat are the ones who hate him. How about now anyone who questions authority or rebels even in todays society is put in prison or worse. We never really had or have freedom the world is run by corrupt people. Christ only taught us love but not many listened or listen.
@NorthNorth2009, Since you hate the idea of Jesus being murdered, and if you would have lived in Jesus' time, would you have tried to save him from his ordeal (as Hitchens would have tried)? Or would you have been the bystander who did nothing at all? Would you have made remarks like the remark you made about atheists: "We jesus freaks don't care if atheists go to hell"? Would you have let the torture happen because they told you that it was good for your own eternal welfare?
@studioROT How do you know if hitchens would of helped? He believes in abortion and doesn't do anything. And if atheists don't believe in hell why are you asking me?
@NorthNorth2009, Hitchens is not pro-abortion; inform yourself better before you judge!
I am asking these questions to understand your views and to expose your lack of compassion.
I also ask these questions in the hope that you will answer them to yourself. You have noticed that some of the answers are to painful to admit here on the World Wide Web. You have more dignity than your religion wants you to have.
I ask them in the hope that you will start thinking for your self one day.
@studioROT hitchens is pro-abortion; I have seen him say so. i don't follow religions i mediate and pray at home and read the new testatment. i do think for myself i don't watch any religious programs and i don't get brainwashed by no one that means the big pharma, the government etc....
On the basis of an empirically unferifialble proposition you are lead to believe that the torture of at least one man (Jesus) is beneficial to you (although you can not seem to admit that here). You have been convinced that your fellow humans will somehow survive their death. And now you happily believe that after they die, they'll be justifiably tortured for eternity. And you are convinced that you are not brainwashed.
@NorthNorth2009 Jesus was not murdered, he was sacrificed for our sins. The ultimate sacrifice, it was not a sad incident, it was the only way for our salvation. The whole old testament is a build up to that sacrifice. God saves us from our self in the end. Jesus (God) reached his objectives when he died on the cross, that is why it is so important to preach the Cross and the meaning of it.
@NorthNorth2009, Since you hate the idea of Jesus being murdered, and if you would have lived in Jesus' time, would you have tried to save him from his ordeal (as Hitchens would have tried)? Or would you have been the bystander who did nothing at all? Would you have made remarks like the remark you made about atheists: "We jesus freaks don't care if atheists go to hell"? Would you have let the torture happen because they told you that it was good for your own eternal welfare?
@ripmev dead land became fertile again after sometimes. you see it everywhere, Can you prove scientifically the essence of your thoughts that influence your personality?
[Historical revisionist & women's magazine hack Christ' Hitchens NEVER, in his rhetoric, endorses the plainly-written strictures of the U.S. Constitution: limited government, shared powers, checks & balances. His politics are of the Thomas Woodrow Wilson model: expeditionary forces, base-building, occupation/colonization of the outlands, spying on Americans (to rat out the illusory 5th column, "loose lips sink ships") & expansion of the Anglo-American empire.]
@zatoichiable Law gives liberty give men free will. The notion of god gives men false hopes and ideas such as santa claus and the easter bunny do for children. Christian mythology is just that, no different than greek, roman or egyptian mythology.God is false.
@whitehorsejason Men corrupt religions and turn them into stale dogmatic and belief system. Santa Clause is just that no different from others, Spirituality turn into materialist consumerism. Remember hitchen do believe in consiousness that never dies and therefore the idea of afterlife. He just dont it call it religion.
@paginipro who or what influence the behavior of protons and neutrons that gives rise finally to brain sense perceptions?. Mysterious means God, God made a claim from the beginning of annals of time that he is God. Did someone ever claimed that?
Oh and by the by, there are christian groups that like to do nothing more than try to bash on people like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. They (jesus freaks) have no argument and are simply afraid that they might not be immortal.
If you watch older interviews with Hitch and Quinn, you can see how they flirted with each other. I think Quinn found this interview a lot harder than Hitch did.
"Here is a man who has helped many people de-program themselves from the bondage of religious dogma.He has inspired me so much ( and Dawkins) that
I have decided,that I will (as best as I can) carry his message on to others, with perhaps less charisma (hahaha) than he, but never the less, try to help others as i have been helped. He is brilliant!"

@bermudaguy1 I feel exactly the same way. Thanks to Hitch I finally stood up to some of my fundamentalist family and man did it feel good!! I have felt this way for a long time Hitchens just helped me to finally debate my thoughts. Thank you Christopher Hitchens!!
@bermudaguy1 Yeah! You could have a group that gets together every seven days, and you could get up in front of them and speak for forty minutes about the lies of religion. Then during the week, you can go door-to-door and ask if people can accept that God is a delusion. What a wonderful idea!
@bermudaguy1 yup,great progressive thinking.We are actually seeing the emancipation of the human conciousness from its dogmatic state of ignorance and error.I mean after all, we had enuff biology,psychiatry,geology,astronomy,paleontolgy,physics and history during the ScientificRevolution of the 1700`s and the AgeOfEnlightenment of the 1800`s to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the realm of the supernatural does not exist,too bad it went over evryones` heads.
@bermudaguy1 dont u mean he is a chaos agent? merely one of satan's leutenents in his legion of godless drones infiltrating and undermining society with his attack on the week, thereby attempting to blind people from trutof GOD with alcoholic psychobabble and worthless propaganda & heresy? u mean that Chris Hitchens? the one that loves to dismantle faith and hope and love? evidence being that this shmuck has obviously gotten you snow-balled and brainwashed! u mean like that? very sad. :( +++
Hitchens is very honest in this vid, very reflective and even a bit meloncholy. Though he doesn't want it or believes in; I pray God performs a miracle and cures him. He challenges all believers In Christ. Even if you disagree with him and he has been rude to believers, all us Jesus Freaks must surely know that we dishonor God by challenging him and other non-believers not with love but full of self-righteousness. Jesus died and loves him/you. Peace.
This lady doing the interview is a bitch. Asking a man with cancer if he has thought about his funeral is ridiculous. The fact that Christopher Hitchens can come up with a good answer doesn't mean he should be asked such a question. Nevermind religion, it goes against the basic human decency that we should all be required to follow while here on Earth.
@sarsfieldusmc And you're supposedly a Naval Sea Cadet!? You clearly need a serious education on that thing we call the First Amendment which guarantees freedom of speech, and for which every member of the U.S. military is sworn to defend to the death. We are not quite yet a Christian theocracy, which would see the government supplant the constitution as the law of the land with tyrannical rule that history shows has always ensued when clergy dictates from that worthless rag -- the bible.
"And I think it [religion] should be treated with ridicule, and hatred, and contempt -- and I claim that right." ~ Christopher Hitchens, on Freedom of Speech:
1. Calm down lol, only stupid people insult other people.
2. What I meant is, he seems to cry and whine about how religion is unaccepting and evil. When he is being unaccepting of religion. It's hypocritical. Btw, does he have cancer? Or does he keep his head bald? If he does have cancer, i hope he will be okay.
3. How about you respect my religious belief's instead of insulting them.
4. i am tired and my answer looks like shit, so sorry man. I will clear it up later.
@sarsfieldusmc It is not automatically bad to accuse something of being bad -- and so, is it neither hypocritical.
Nobody needs to accept or repect religion, simply because it's "religion". That was the common practice for the last half of the 20th century, and is what has gotten us in today's tendency of considering ignorance and superstition to be a virtue. Religion is a mind poison. If people believe crazy things, it drives them to do crazy things. Xtianity is a form of mass insanity.
With all due respect, I disagree, and i believe that thats an ignorant view of the world. In fact, i believe that it's as ignorant as mindlessly following religion. Are there stupid Christian's? Muslim's? Jew's? Yea, but most are people just trying to get by. I have a problem with this man because he is not saying 'I disagree with religion' but 'All religion is stupid and don't have thinking follower's'. I'm not stupid. I believe in Micro Evolution, I have faith in.....
@sarsfieldusmc Again you insist on making unequal comparisons. Xtianity is either crazy nonsense, or it isn't. They're opposites; there's no in-between. So holding one of those world views can not be "as ignorant" or "mindless" as the other.
You keep using the word 'stupid', but Hitchens never does, and so you need to cease using that strawman. Typically, people are indoctrinated & inculcated into believing nonsense as kids when their minds are vulnerable. They're not stupid, just victims.
(2) Christianity is the belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie, which is his own father, can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master. This is so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in all humanity because a rib-woman was convinced to eat from a magical tree by an infinitely sadistic being disguised as a talking snake with legs.
That is pure insanity, and requires a great level of credulity to believe.
@JesusSavesAtCitibank I have faith in the possibility of macro evolution. I believe that the world was created in a process of millions and millions of year's. I respect other beliefs. He accuses Christians of being stupid, but we started the scientific revolution. I respect your belief and all i am asking is you to respect mine. The world has problems because people won't respect each other. You can challenge something without being disrespectful. I know that stupid christians make us look bad.
@sarsfieldusmc Evolution neither requires belief or faith. It is FACT -- just as is gravity. There really are no such things as micro/macro evolution. There's only evolution, and for certain changes to evolve it may require decades or millions of years.
People should respect people, but respecting all of others' beliefs is not possible and must not fake that they do. I do not respect belief in an imaginary dictator in the sky, nor of the credulity involved in slavishly worshipping it.
@sarsfieldusmc There's only evolution! The difference in the amount of time required for speciation or other evolving changes by means of natural selection to occur is what some (creationists) erroneously like to divide into 2 categories of micro/macro. We've known of evolution for just over a century. So we haven't been watching long enough to actually observe changes over vast periods of time, but the fossil record is proof positive that we didn't POOF into existence by a magician in the sky.
I wish everyone who used the term "micro/macro evolution" and the phrase "everything happens for a reason" would just spontaneously combust.....so tired.....
So called 'micro' and 'macro' evolution aren't even distinguished in the scientific community. The micro/macro bullshit was invented by creationists because they are desperate and try to disguise their inane arguments in some pseudosophisticated, scienc-y sounding NON-terms....
The cold hard truth is that evolution is a fact and it is incompatible with the judeo-christian, muslim, ancient, mythological 'gods' that have been created in the minds of credulous, superstitious, primitive Homo Sapiens...
How about the fact that it is 2011 and christians, muslims, and jews are not only the cause of a LOT of distress among our species, but they deliberately impede scientific and social progress because they are so steeped in ridiculous tradition and want to preserve ancient mythological superstitions that have been KNOWN to be false for hundreds of years....
That COULD be what gives all of us the right to complain about the destruction religion has caused.
Not only do these groups want to take the freedom and lives of each other, but they want to take the freedom and lives of atheists, scientists, doctors, homosexuals, women, minorities, poor people, etc.
They want to impose their incredibly immoral virtues on everybody else under the guise of "faith"
I'm sorry but FUCK their faith, it's puerile. and they need to grow the fuck up and GET OVER IT!!
I didn't even mention the hijacking of the minds of impressionable young children that all of these religions are responsible for.
I have first hand experience as someone who was fiercely indoctrinated with fundamentalist dogma. It was not only emotionally excruciating to FACE REALITY and put away the delusion as a teenager, but it was incredibly terrifying and socially isolating. It is now about 10 years later and I am so incredibly glad I have a free mind. It is truly wonderful.
That's what is so tragic about it...It is for nothing, because it is TOTALLY make believe BS, this demons and angels, heaven and hell business. My mind was trapped for 18 years and it didn't have to be. I can't blame my parents, cuz they thought they were doing good. They are (ignorant) victims, too. Until I realized I was a naturalist the 'god' question was SO real and important to me, but my brain was trying to reconcile the absurdities with the REALITY I faced every day.
@4tabula2rasa0 Thanks for your comments. It's always good to hear from someone who found the mental and emotional fortitude necessary to break free of the indoctrinated mind shackles of religious superstition. :-)
You're more than welcome for the comments. If you knew me in person you would know that I have a whooooole lot more to say but I try to keep it concise in my comments. Get a few beers in me, though, or better yet some magic mushrooms and I just might not shut up about the UNNECESSARY evils of religion and its TRAGIC consequences for humanity for hours. There is so much!
and Thank YOU for the videos. I hadn't seen any videos where Hitch speaks in depth about his diagnosis.
@sarsfieldusmc He doesn't need you or anyone else to give him any right to do it. And neither do I. Christianity,Judaism and Islam are collectively responsible for death ,destruction, hate, war, bigotry prejudice and much more besides. See nobody needs a right to bitch about it because to bitch about it is right.
@flight1100 Does this give me the right to bitch about atheism? Since they caused the deaths of millions with their marxist, communist and nazi governments?
@crazytosh1 I suggest you read "Hitlers Table Talk", its a book based off a series of first person accounts by hitlers staff. He bashes christianity pretty damn hard, you get to see his true views on religion.
I was making a remark on how stupid it is to blame religion on the death of others, Christian or Atheist.
@sarsfieldusmc I think public statements from Hitler himself and the book he wrote himself hold a lot more truth than those supposedly written by some prisoners of war. Wouldn't you think?
@sarsfieldusmc So you are saying he used religion to brainwash a nation? Anyway hitler died in 1945 and this book was published in 1952. There is a lot of mistruths about ww2 if you really care to study a little further. Propaganda was as alive then as it is now, though it is more obvious these days with a better educated public. Religious, racial and other forms of supremacism still are a real destructive force and continue to plague humanity. People are good as a whole, religion is not.
@whitehorsejason Yep. Now, Nazism core roots was based off of Blood Cultism, not Christianity. He did, however, use Christianity to brainwash the nation. It saddens me to see people fall for it so easily.
Communism used Atheism to brainwash a nation, and a lot of Marxist ideals were based from their Atheism.
I'm not saying Christianity or atheism is a bad thing, but when atheism/other religious opinions mix with government, bad things will result
@sarsfieldusmc Well, there again I will state that it is very natural for for Christians and Catholics to want to create some distance. Most of Hitler's top army officials and (evil scientists) claimed to be men of god and went to church religiously. Of the the ones that managed to escape after the nazi's demise, mostly all them sought refuge from their churches in other countries and were well received. Funny enough,one nick named Dr.Death even converted to Islam in order to hide in Egypt.cont,
@sarsfieldusmc Cont,,The remaining nazi's were imprisoned and I think we all know prisoners of war will say almost anything to try and have their lives spared. So my bottom line for is simply this, the well documented position of the nazi party at the time was their position. The literature that came out years later that claimed this was not their view was hearsay and spin doctors attempts to rewrite history which has been seen endless times throughout history , will cont2 after a brief dogwalk
@sarsfieldusmccont 2Let's be clear about marxism, forgive the reductionist summary as it is a very complex issue. Atheism was part of the marxism philosophy,I grant you that. In no way was atheism a selling feature for this vast complex ideology. Some of the marxism Idea's were good ones, the implementation of this ideology against the peoples will,was an act of brutal dictatorship.Once the Nazi party came into power it turned into a brutal dictatorship but church involvement was apparent cont3
@sarsfieldusmc He is not really bitching about the people themselves(just their leaders), He is bitching about mythology trying to be passed on as reality. It is an attack on religion itself, and he has every right. I think in this day and age it is the obligation of all us freedom loving people to speak out against religion, to see that it soon falls into the category of history, where it belongs.
True Christians don't pray selfishly (i.e. begging God to cause their team to win or hit the lotto), but rather that God's will be done. I pray that God uses this tragedy to bring a proud man to his knees and to acceptance of salvation through Jesus Christ for eternal life.
Why pray that your god's will be done? If your god is omnipotent, and has a will that certain things come to pass, then they will happen even if you don't pray.
The other thing I wonder is: where in this man is the pride you speak of? He doesn't believe what you believe. He doesn't share your views. Why does that make him proud? Perhaps you're the proud one because you pretend to know things you couldn't possibly know?
@salmagnum true christians also don't think critically about the claims of their own religion; if they did, they would see how absurd it is, and how little evidence it has.
if hitchens is a proud man, it is certainly not for the reasons you think it is.
there is no proof for god or an afterlife, never mind an eternal one. so until you have some, shut the hell up.
@doaftheloaf You have swilled down the establishment's lies on this one my friend. Your boy even defends the unconstitutional wars our corrupt gov't has waged in the past decade, so don't come flying your "twoof" flag to me. I have assembled a mountain of evidence for my beliefs on my channel, in the favorites and assorted playlists. You won't check into any of them because you think you've got it all figured out. Stick your head in the sand and then complain that you can't see the sun...phhft
Hitchen sold out his soul for just a couple of his arrogant but extremely ignorant followers. Not me, I'm wiser to know that human beings are just like the weather. Cold today, hot tomorrow;)
@maxpainfu1 To understand the soul, you need to understand what a spirit and a body is. Man is first and foremost spirit according to the bible, and it is the very source of life. It is the energy imputed by God that keeps all living things alive. Evolution will never be able to explain that. Now, Man is also a body(flesh). God made man from the dust. We need it to interact with the natural world. The soul is the real Man. It connects the spirit to the body so the body can live.
@eltopus4747 ok what are you talking about?all you mention is repeating words like soul and spirit.why don't you answer his question in words that means something to all.why all living things to go to heaven and hell?
@eltopus4747 Does their Thetan also go to heaven when they die? You know how crazy it sounds to say that the soul is the source of LIFE but is liberated upon DEATH. Does the soul (God's energy??) just fail at the end? Is a terminal illness the body trying to cast off a soul? When a doctor revives a dead man, shouldn't he also be chanting prayers to get the soul back? Maybe you should just leave the ghost stuff to Tolkein, cause actually believing in it ignores logic.
"The party going on without me" is what chills me the most, It pains me that I won't be around to witness mankinds future and greatest accomplishments. Also it could well be that the people now living and in the near future will be the only humans not to live forever since in the future there are sure to be medical discoveries that will stop the ageing process.
If the human race grows for the next millions years and they live forever (or a very long time) we will be the unlucky few.
The real sad part is that priks like dhide14 will never get to realize how poorly they waste there lives were wasted following the bible, and that the only thing that will happen to them when they die is there seldomly used brain dies and they decompose, so hitchens will always get the last laugh. LONG LIVE CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS
dhide14: yea, we already got Haggart exposed; Bakker and Hovind jailed; Falwell, Oral Roberts and John-Paul dead; with Phelps, Swaggart, Robertson and Hinn all staring death in the eye. I'll take that trade... LMAO !!!!!
Thats messed up. Its funny how people feel sorry for Hitchens but if you would be dying Hitchens wouldnt give two shits about you. He would be like "Please, give a lad another cocktail and cigarette while I piss on this man's grave, cause I am an arrogant asshole and I dont believe in God, that is silly. Why would anyone belive that someone has created a complicated universe. Its just happened, easy as pie. I could do it too cause I am that intelligent but I decide not to" ha ha
Hitchens you are truly one of the most intellectually strong-willed public images. Thank you for igniting in me and many others the desire to refute stupidity.
Hitchens you are truly one of the most intellectually strong-willed public images. Thank you for igniting in me and many others the desire to refute stupidity.
always thought he was biased, a part of wider conspiracy against islam .now i know he always just spoke his mind and was always true to himself.And divinity if there is any must stand up wen it sees christopher,not a hypcrite at all.May Allah,s blessings be on you.
Hitchens supports this. [Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: "We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?"; Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it." — "60 Minutes" (5/12/96)]
The "party" metaphor falls infinitely short. It's not like you are leaving a great party and going on to experience something else that's less fun. You are leaving experience itself. It's the end of everything. Simply put: nothingness.
Our lives are a bit too short, but "to live forever" would be torture. Let's hope science manages to double or triple our life-spans or something, that would be okay..: )
Spent like CHIP-IMPLANTED WHORES ON CHICKEN PLANET: The invaders who slaughtered the citizens of Vietnam, and those who are currently slaughtering the citizens in the Arab World, have no honor.
hitch has been the most influential person in my life freeing me from the chains of religion and opening my eyes to see the real world for what it is. for that, i will always be in your debt sir.
I'm not going up to any spirit in the sky, not going anywhere when I die. When I die and they lay me to rest, I'm not going to that place that's the best.
Don't worry Hitch. Any retard who says that .... will be thoroughly verbally disemboweled by your human brothers and sisters. If and when they try...and they will...we will put them in little box where liars belong! Your legacy will go on ,,,,, and build....until Human Beings are free of this ancient lie!
@LiberdadeHedonista You understand Chris is an "Anti-Theist" right?? If Chris were standing in front of you as you said that. You know he would laugh in your face and feel sorry for you right?
Hitchens hates to be called Chris, as you will notice in many of his writings, especially Hitch-22. I never found anything offensive in his opinions (except maybe some propaganda for smoking, years ago). He mainly attacks fanatics who use religion for political means, demand religious ceremonies to be public, and want to convert others to their religion, which I find opprobrious. Never noticed him attacking secularists who keep religion to themselves.
This man embodies all that homo sapiens is supposed to mean...he's the quintessential "thinking man". I just cannot begin to thank him for encouraging me in my faithlessness. I thave disposed of my pacifier and security blanket, and death is no longer the monster beneath the bed!
Bernard Manning did his own funeral, damn good.

@NorthNorth2009, my reference to human sacrifice, was specifically aimed at Jesus' barbaric murder which you consider so beneficial for your own personal eternal well-being. What do I do about it? Writing these words.
Ironically, in this context, the alcoholic of whom you so disapprove, wrote somewhere that if he would have lived in Jesus' time, he would have tried to stop the slaughter. You sir, seem more than happy to go along with the ugly bloody methods of the superstitious.

On the basis of an empirically unferifialble proposition you are lead to believe that the torture of at least one man (Jesus) is beneficial to you (although you can not seem to admit that here). You have been convinced that your fellow humans will somehow survive their death. And now you happily believe that after they die, they'll be justifiably tortured for eternity. And you are convinced that you are not brainwashed.

@NorthNorth2009 Jesus was not murdered, he was sacrificed for our sins. The ultimate sacrifice, it was not a sad incident, it was the only way for our salvation. The whole old testament is a build up to that sacrifice. God saves us from our self in the end. Jesus (God) reached his objectives when he died on the cross, that is why it is so important to preach the Cross and the meaning of it.

Nobody needs to accept or repect religion, simply because it's "religion".

The other thing I wonder is: where in this man is the pride you speak of? He doesn't believe what you believe. He doesn't share your views. Why does that make him proud? Perhaps you're the proud one because you pretend to know things you couldn't possibly know?

@maxpainfu1 To understand the soul, you need to understand what a spirit and a body is. Man is first and foremost spirit according to the bible, and it is the very source of life. It is the energy imputed by God that keeps all living things alive. Evolution will never be able to explain that. Now, Man is also a body(flesh). God made man from the dust. We need it to interact with the natural world. The soul is the real Man. It connects the spirit to the body so the body can live.

@eltopus4747 ok what are you talking about?all you mention is repeating words like soul and spirit.why don't you answer his question in words that means something to all.why all living things to go to heaven and hell?

@eltopus4747 Does their Thetan also go to heaven when they die? You know how crazy it sounds to say that the soul is the source of LIFE but is liberated upon DEATH. Does the soul (God's energy??) just fail at the end? Is a terminal illness the body trying to cast off a soul? When a doctor revives a dead man, shouldn't he also be chanting prayers to get the soul back? Maybe you should just leave the ghost stuff to Tolkein, cause actually believing in it ignores logic.

"The party going on without me" is what chills me the most, It pains me that I won't be around to witness mankinds future and greatest accomplishments. Also it could well be that the people now living and in the near future will be the only humans not to live forever since in the future there are sure to be medical discoveries that will stop the ageing process.
If the human race grows for the next millions years and they live forever (or a very long time) we will be the unlucky few.

The real sad part is that priks like dhide14 will never get to realize how poorly they waste there lives were wasted following the bible, and that the only thing that will happen to them when they die is there seldomly used brain dies and they decompose, so hitchens will always get the last laugh. LONG LIVE CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS

Thats messed up. Its funny how people feel sorry for Hitchens but if you would be dying Hitchens wouldnt give two shits about you. He would be like "Please, give a lad another cocktail and cigarette while I piss on this man's grave, cause I am an arrogant asshole and I dont believe in God, that is silly. Why would anyone belive that someone has created a complicated universe. Its just happened, easy as pie. I could do it too cause I am that intelligent but I decide not to" ha ha

Hitchens supports this. [Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: "We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?"; Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it." — "60 Minutes" (5/12/96)]

The "party" metaphor falls infinitely short. It's not like you are leaving a great party and going on to experience something else that's less fun. You are leaving experience itself. It's the end of everything. Simply put: nothingness.

Our lives are a bit too short, but "to live forever" would be torture. Let's hope science manages to double or triple our life-spans or something, that would be okay..: )

I pray for Christopher Hitchens every day.
I dont mind if he hates my religion, or my toys or my candies -- why would I want to share them, anyway?
I hate cigarettes and alcohol myself; everyone has their preferences.
Hitchens is a hero to me and I pray that he gets all the best in the world, bless him.

@AcaiAdvantage
Hitchens hates to be called Chris, as you will notice in many of his writings, especially Hitch-22. I never found anything offensive in his opinions (except maybe some propaganda for smoking, years ago). He mainly attacks fanatics who use religion for political means, demand religious ceremonies to be public, and want to convert others to their religion, which I find opprobrious. Never noticed him attacking secularists who keep religion to themselves.

This man embodies all that homo sapiens is supposed to mean...he's the quintessential "thinking man". I just cannot begin to thank him for encouraging me in my faithlessness. I thave disposed of my pacifier and security blanket, and death is no longer the monster beneath the bed!
Live longer and prosper, Christopher Hitchens.
