匚卄尺工ち匕口ㄗ卄モ尺 ..卄工匕匚卄モれち .... You are a inspiration!




After watching this video I have noticed some audio problems. Music a some points never return to normal and the voices are to loud. I corrected them and re posted on my other channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiYNJ46DlVk

Thanks for all the kind comments!

@Bandnot01 Some of us already have. Lets hope we have Richard Dawkins around for a long time to come.

[bart111361]

He offered a bright white light in life to move towards. Reason and logic. I fear the collective IQ of the human race has taken a hit for the worse. His passing is our loss. I raise my glass of Black Label to one of the finest men to have walked this planet.

5:34 where's this from?

[Brenda2OOO]

I just love to watch this over again. I love his little smiles. He obviously got a huge kick out of being Hitch.

[Dylan20121]

COLLDDPLAY??!!! that fucked up the video

[Dylan20121]

i'm too sad to fap now

[endofscene]

@Bandnot01 You're making him sound like Jesus ;) (I heard we was very good at turning wine into water ;)

[endofscene]

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful mind.

[daskalaka]

Too sad - couldn't make the end

[12Ominous]

It's ok he's heaven now.

[organaphus]

That picture of him on the bicycle was hilarious! Me and my Mum burst into simultaneous laughter when that came up!

[cmonty72]

I think Hitchens would have made fun of this video.

[Bandnot01]

Oh, @ofreshartist just Fuck Off. I really think this is the wrong place to be trollin'

[Bandnot01]

It's astounding that someone that I never met could have such an impact on my life. He leaves behind footsteps most of us can only wish to follow although every humane human being should try to. I miss him already.

[ofreshartist]

@museman98 -God bless you. I love you. Jesus Saves

[museman98]

@ofreshartist Not sure if troll..

or just really, really stupid

[gobshoit]

Christopher Hitchens, you have changed my life! Thank you!! :)

[lllv1989]

@TomVodkaCollins I need to make a bracelet with that, but it'd be What Would The Hitch SAY!

[lllv1989]

@TomVodkaCollins it may even be true that Hitchens wouldn't have liked the song (or maybe heard it in life and didn't like it), but the point stand that it wouldn't solely be due to the lyrics. Tributes aren't made for the enjoyment of the person who died, rather for the relief of those who remain, a point Hitch alluded to in his memoir. Based on the view count and like/dislike ratio I would say the person who made this video succeeded. I actually like the song...

[ofreshartist]

Jesus Saves.

[TomVodkaCollins]

@lllv1989 @dopeasfuckk I love finding Hitchensians arguing over what The Hitch would or wouldn't have thought about something and citing statements he's made to support their point. It's like watching Xtians argue about WWJD. WWTHD it is for us, but in a good way. The difference is, 2000 years from now there won't be wars raging across the globe over whether or not he lived. I think he would have appreciated the sentiments of some of the lyrics, but dopeasfuckk is right. The song sucks.

[TomVodkaCollins]

@lllv1989 Ever notice there's only one letter difference between Mormon and moron?

[lllv1989]

@dopeasfuckk brilliantly argued, Hitchens would be proud. I am now convinced that liking this song is similar to being a Mormon.

[dopeasfuckk]

@lllv1989 this isn't good music written by theists, this is bad music and it doesn't matter who wrote it.

[dopeasfuckk]

@lllv1989 irrelevant, no connection whatsoever. terrible choice of music, and if you think this is something the hitch would appreciate, you might as well believe in God

[Douginasia]

An inspiration to the world and a brilliant mind. If you can not see the logic behind his argument and still believe in fairy tales and myths then wake up and do not waste your life on something that cannot and never shall be proven. Shame on you Peter. what a traitor!
