Hitchens: Cancer, Life and Deathbed Conversion?

An interview with a very honest and candid Christopher Hitchens on CNN in early August, about his thoughts on the diagnosis, death and the possibility of a deathbed conversion. Best wishes to Chris for a full recovery, good luck!

God Damn

This man died not giving a fuck about anything, you know this genius doesn't give a shit about anybody or anything & that's fuckin amazing, I love that.

Anderson is right, christopher hitchens looks at death, or anything for that matt,er like an intellectual and makes good choices. unlike christians who take the easy way out.

Anderson Cooper looks like such an idiot next to Hitchens

Recovery from surgery ~ bored.

@userdenied58 And seriously, you claim to have 3 doctorates and in your free time you start youtube wars? Get real, and get lost. Try reading some of his work as well.

@userdenied58 If he proved nothing why is he so highly regarded as an essayist and debater? You seem to be a hypocrite picking fights on most of his videos with people who disagree with you. Seriously how does he bore to a stupor? That's just silly. He's entertaining in debates crushing opponents and was a very witty provocateur. Whatever you want to believe he was highly intelligent, and commented on what he saw was wrong. As you have attempted at doing.

@whiteguycash Sadly, you are correct. I am often asked (as an atheist) If I hope someone who has died had gone to a better place, despite me not believing in a better place.

And I would tell them, I don't hope they have gone to a better place, I know they have. They look at me quizzically and I explain, If that person, by dying, made the world a worse place by leaving, then they have by definition gone to a better place.

We are worse off without Hitchens, He is in a better place.

Might want to get rid of the "Get well soon" at the end.

[whiteguycash]

The world moves on and will move on without him. For a guy who lived and existed, he had less of an impact on the world than a man whose existence is disputed.

@ssohood2011

Hitchens was a bombastic egoist who proved nothing except to his disciples. He did not expose the child rape cases by the Catholic Church or anything else that was not already in the public eye.

As for Mother Teresa being a horrible person, give me a friggin' break. What did Hitchens do for starving people other than bore them into a stupor?

In any event, I see no reason to discuss him with you anymore. We both have our points of views which are not going to change.

@userdenied58 How?

How is any of that supposed to be "Relative Terms"? Your acting like it's nothing. He was a front runner for the Civil Rights movement in Europe & North Africa. He showed the World how corruption was still in the Vatican. Uncovered the Catholic Churches Rape, Prejudiced, & Segregation scandals. He proved the World that America is turning into a Oligarchy rather than a Democracy. For Goodness Sakes, he even proved Mother Teresa was a Horrible person & That's Nothing.
