Christopher Hitchens: The Moral Necessity of Atheism (8/8)

A fantastic lecture by Christopher Hitchens about how atheism (and anti-theism) is not only a healthy belief system but a moral necessity. He talks about the very earthly nature of religion, the dangerous effect it is having on our world and the need for people to think for themselves.

Listening to Christopher Hitchens speak is like a breath of fresh air. He suavely conveys his points on this topic with intelligence and charm. It's as if he was taking all of my thoughts on the matter which are using racing through my head frantically - often making it difficult for me to convey my own points during a lecture with calm and ease - and arranging them neatly like books on a bookshelf. I agree with him and find his experience to be totally enlightening to frank.

What a great speaker and humanist. I will greatly miss his voice and character.

@ncoop004 pretty sure his brain comprised what is called the soul.

Well, love him or hate him, only Hitchens himself knows whether he was wrong.

Women's magazine hack Christ' Hitchens promotes: fiat currency, central banking, standing armies, internationalism, governmentalism, Marxism, collectivism, corporatism, false-flag attacks, the institutionalization of folks who promote Spiritualism (as these people are psychotic), internal checkpoints, suspension of the 4th & 5th amendments to the U.S. Constitution, pre-emptive airstrikes, U.N. show-trials, eugenics (population reduction) & carbon taxes.

Hurray for Holland, for being mainly Atheist and also the most tolerant people around (just about)

Who needs biblical morals if Atheists can have good standards like them (us ^^)

@Jotto999 I agree. There isn't much in the world that saddens me like the thought of a world without the Hitch... Hitchens would hate the cliche, but truly there is no one to fill his shoes. We will miss him, but he will not disappear- he was prolific and as you well know made many, many public appearances that we can hear and watch forever. Still I, like you, wish for a miracle cure.

[Jotto999]

We need to cure cancer. That it will likely steal Hitchens from the world is outrageous and saddening.
