Christopher Hitchens owned the douche. Fair dinkum mate!

It's a shame that people look into the history of their ancestors and say "look, they did this, so can I" and make it permissible instead of justifying it based on the most up-to-date non-biased logic and reasoning.

I took a man I didn't like and nailed him to a giant cross yesterday. It was bloody as all hell, the guy literally screamed for hours. He was only let down when his hands fell off. I was then taken into custody and charged with murder. I gave the excuse that "this has been a practice since the time of Jesus himself!". They had no option but to release me.

@fuckinghellyoutwat we don't need religion to have threats of hell and murder. All we're left with on Hitchens is his words; he wrote much and, as is apparent on yt, got a lot of face time with his contrived opposition. He never got to the point but used whatever he disapproved of to promote a hatred for it. And I don't need to have a smoke screen to rally for that; he left plenty of 'documented' evidence to show it as such: hatred. Please don't take it personally.

@maxismax100 you have the right to say what ever you like, but so do we, like for example that the bible is a disgusting book full of bigotry and absurdity, it was written by nomadic tribesman who couldn't have possibly known how inaccurate it was and how that inaccuracy would lead many people to rightly conclude that it isn't the work of the devine or even anyone with knowledge of such, the only people who haven't concluded such are either willfully ignorant or woefully impared.

@cliffandy i don't think hitchens was hateful towards life, but instead to the people who seek to control it with threats of hell or even murder, and that is all religion ever was.

When Tony Perkins' face showed on the screen I got a little bit scared.

@Mr88playmaker God is our nationally and legally recognized, sole granter of rights and liberties."

Which would be great if he existed somewhere other than in the minds of the insane.

Seriously, I get so sick of this theocratic stupidity. What rights does God grant us? What liberties? Where is this mentioned in the Bible? And I expect a straight answer. If you cannot give me a straight answer I suggest you shut the fuck up and crawl into that hovel you call a church.

[Savior20061]

@Mr88playmaker "Man will be ruled either by God or by tyrants."

Those aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.
