Even pseudo-intellectual Christians such as Wilson can't resist the urge to find happiness in Hitchen's death and use the chance to try convert his loved once during this hard time. Doug Wilson, much like other Christians- is a despicable, deluded piece of shit. Fuck all theists.

... care, because he's preaching to his own choir.

5:00 "Hard-hearted"? Rather infinitely sadistic.

5:43 Why is he supposed to "start believing" just because he's shown a "tolerant side" in the first place?

5:50 FAIL. It's not about "believing it yourself", it's about evidence. Hitch said it all the time, just as he condemned the hell&heaven doctrine.

How about you at least MENTION any of that in your obituary??

There are no words to describe just how lame and embarassing this video is.

@veineum oh please....go away

@veineum BAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm an atheist and I have to say this was surprisingly pretty respectful. I obviously don't agree with Wilson's views but he didn't say that Hitch was definitely in Hell. He actually said he hopes he's in Heaven and wished his family well. I'll bet most of the atheists slandering this video just listened to the first 10 seconds, typed their insults, and clicked on another Hitch-related video. Would you prefer this to be a WBC video claiming that Hitch is 100% definitely burning in Hell?

[twooffour]

All this goes on to prove, is Hitchens' views on the wickedness of mainstream Christian doctrine (including the version Wilson adheres to) - there is hell, and heaven, and faith is the deciding factor.

Christians will be "surprised" to see some of the "unbelievers" in heaven, not because their God is actually more just than they had thought, but because the unbelievers surprisingly "got right" with God "at the last second".

I wonder whether he's unaware of the huge irony, or just doesn't...

@MrEnlighteneddespot  do u not hear him?

[TheWholeYearInn]

@CssAfc No he didn't. He said that he didn't mind if Christians prayed for him, but that he had absolutely no belief whatsoever that it would do any good because there was nothing to pray to.

[MrEnlighteneddespot]

@jackthayer in what way did he mock the dead?

[jackthayer]

@MrEnlighteneddespot no i didn't i don't care what side ur on mocking the dead is wrong and inhumane and he could of left him alone u claim to be christain well i suggest u practice what u preach and turn the other cheek
