God Is Not Great, XIX. "In conclusion; The need for a new enlightenment" part 2 of 2

"In conclusion; The need for a new enlightenment" - Chapter XIX of Christopher Hitchens' phenomenally scathing and erudite critique of religion, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.

I do not own any of the audio or visual content of this video.

N.B. If you find the content of this book stimulating, then I enjoin you to please consider buying a hard copy. Hitchens bangs out, as it were, a lot of information in this critique, and not only would a hard copy be useful for references (for you fellow analysts out there, or maybe if you didn't catch a name or two) or look good on your book shelf or a gift for another, but it would help my conscience out a bit - as I'm giving it to you here for free. I know that having audio on YouTube will undoubtedly give this message to people who would never have a chance of reading it, but still. If you have the money why not get a copy from Amazon or, as Christopher Hitchens himself often quips, from any "fine book store anywhere".

Damn, I should be his PR.

Thank you for uploading this! What an amazing book. Here's hoping Christopher can kick cancer's arse and keep on fighting this terrible affliction on humanity.

Next up, The End of Faith.

Just spent the last 3 days or so ploughing through this. Excellent stuff and so eloquent.

Thanks very much for uploading.

Thank you kindly for posting this audio book. It was very nice to hear Hitch speak.

Thank you! I have just finished listening to your entire posting of this book. Although I still had a few chapters to go, I went out a purchased the book earlier this evening. I was disappointed they didn't have it on audio, but will be purchasing that online. I'll also be purchasing a few extra copies for a few friends. Thank you!

Most grateful for upload.

Read the book, but sometimes it's nice to have an author read to me. I've had this on private playlist for three days as I clean my house. Just let it roll over and over as I pick up, throw away, and clear the mess.

It becomes quite plain, that our world needs a similar scrub of ancient trash.

Thank you so much for posting this. Marvellous book, and cool to have mr. Hitchens read it to me :)

This book is a small slice of genious. Hitchens handily deals with every argument that may be forth for the beneficence of religion while highlighting its totalitarian and misanthropic nature. He manages to do this with humour, irony and with great respect for those who helped pave the way for our gradual human enlightenment, their religious inclinations disregarded.

Thanks for uploading this, mate.
