-
@louthegiantcookie at least you're using your brain to form your own thoughts. well done. there's still hope for you.

I am a Christian - in that I believe in the Christian God - but since I was a child I had these very same feelings. That God cannot possibly be benevolent. I remember telling people this at Sunday school, they said Satan was speaking through me. Huh.
-
Brilliantly said by Hitchens. Answered prayers and the concept of a benevolent God in general are total BS and this is uncompromisingly proven here.
-
This is one of my favorites of Hitch's video clips; he has stated elsewhere that the Fritzl case is one story that he "can't get out of [his] mind." I've felt the same way about it; when the story broke, it kept me awake nights a number of times. Does anyone have a link to the complete debate that this clip was taken from..?

the second last guy to the left seems really nonchalant to what hitchens is saying.
-
He annihilates these people that were trying to defend prayer for this woman that was raped since birth by her father, had children with them, and they were raped.

HITCHENS IS BITCHENS!!

@bryansteeksma Im not claiming to know gods heart. Im countering the assertion that he is benevolent and omnipresent.

Well sir it is for those who claim to know God and converses with God to prove his/hers/its exsitence.
Do you know Gods heart? And if so why is not that information revealed to me?
Such a powerful, moving argument from Hitchens. Bravo!

My favorite Hitchens example. As I remember watching the rest of the conference elsewhere, there was no defense even attempted by the others. The more you examine the "god-has-a-plan" excuse, the more it sounds like Wimpy in the Popeye cartoons> "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
