Even as an antitheist and a Hitchens fan, I'm surprised that this video got 500+ thumbs up and absolutely zero thumbs down.

Faith in humanity: +1.

And trust me, I don't say that very often.

@SomeRandomAspie you spoke too soon, the commenter after you took care of that.

[CaseAgainstFaith1]

"For hundreds of thousands of years" ??? Is he including religious discussions by Neaderthals?

[V00D00SIXXX]

@CaseAgainstFaith1 actually he said "for hundreds, and thousands, of years".

"If it's in the name of God, it has a social license, well fuck that is what I say."

I will be posting this quote to my channel in a few minutes.

Dun dun duuuuuun!

But yeah, it's still impressive it got that far before getting the infamous thumb.

My favorite one is when Hitchens called Mother Teresa a "Sacred Cow"

@Kinosis79

You are not making the appropriate leap to seeing things from the perspective of an atheist, either by choice or lack of capacity. You have to be able to conceive of the possibility that your god might indeed be imaginary. No atheist accepts that a god exists, when we talk about what a god does or says, we're referring to the god CONCEPTS in the mind of the theist, not the god itself, as it doesn't exist outside of that theist's mind. Hitchens certainly understood this.

[Vingador]

His arguments are good and will work for any weak mind. I could debate with him about religion for hours, days even and i doubt he could debunk my arguments, and i wouldnt use any bible recitations or other sacred text to explain God existence, cuz that is what most religious ppl do and that change them into a pain in the ass to talk about religion.

@Kinosis79

santa clause, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy are fake. now grow up

[arcaneminded]

@Kinosis79 The bible has contradictions, ergo where it contradicts at least 1 statement is false. The bible cannot have any false statements to be true. Therefore the bible is false.

You don't need to have been created by an intelligence to be intelligent. That's like claiming icing on cake isn't sweet because it's creator wasn't sweet.

If you need any backing up to what I've said just ask, I have it.
