Contempt for lies is separate from contempt for people.
You still dont get that obviously.
And when you say "Islam comes after him with hatred" you seem to be thinking that hatred somehow forces people to commit crimes.
Yes you can complain, and should punish people for their crimes, but not for hatred, dumbfuck!

Besides you want to see a racket! Just look at all of the churches and places of worship there are in your area. Or maybe some of the vatican, mega churches, temple of mecca. Pretty in your face proof of just who is doing the swindling. Your argument just plain fails.

Yeah you could say whatever you want. That doesn't mean it makes any sense or that there is any truth to it. So why don't you tell us again what his kids have anything to do with it. You are just repeating yourself and not saying nothing.

Well I could say you're missing the point. The thing is, when Islam comes at him with hatred, he can't complain. For he just said religion should be treated with hatred and contempt. I'm not speaking for Atheism and then sending my kids to a Quaker school. That is his swindle.

Well then, if he says you can as an atheist treat religion with hatred and contempt, he can't complain when Islam come after him showing him hatred and contempt.

Hitchens never once contradicted himself though.
When are you going to realize that it is meaningless to be against "hate".
That is like being against love, pain, or pleasure.
And yes he did need to spend the rest of the time supporting his main point, and restating it in different ways, because apparently people still manage too miss it because they are just too thick and full of misleading preconceptions.
He even re-stated his point earlier with the example of the witch prosecuter.

Oh no it is called missing the point. You are a waste of time so do you propose I call you a swindler? By your definition that is what you are doing here as well.

The proof is in the fact he doesn't walk his talk. Since he sends his kids to a Christian school and promotes hatred within Atheism while speaking against hatred in Religion. The approximate amount you've been swindled is proportional to the amount of your time listening to him and money spent on any books you bought.
