Good for you Chuck - Here's hoping you are singing it.

@@richarduhlman7245 thanks pal. Cool thing is, now I have my 19 year old son listening to it. He’s into all of the music I like. Pass down the generations. Good music never gets old.

@@chuckwood8452 Good for you, Dad - you & your son will always have something in common.

How could any rational person possibly think that a god decided that the best way for him to be able to forgive man, for being evil & immoral by breaking rules that god knew in advance that they would break when he made those rules and created evil. Was to send a version of himself down to earth then sacrifice himself to himself. Thus preventing his need to punish his creations for something their ancestors did before they knew the difference between right and wrong. 🤔 ??????? ☝️☝️ I mean just actually think about that for a minute 🤔🤔🤔 This has to be THE most illogical ideology imaginable, it fails on just about every conceivable level. But then again I supose that's to be expected when its origins lie in the myths , knowledge, and world views of superstitious, uneducated, primative, child sacrificing, tribesmen. But I digress, so anyway just who is it that gets punished for this "ORIGINAL SIN " ? Well that's really rather confusing isnt it, firstly the snake (supposedly the devil) gets punished by having to crawl on its belly for the rest of its days. EXCEPT that the devil is later frequently discribed as "walking around " (an incredible achievement for a paraplegic) indeed he has no problem whatsoever scaling "unusually high mountains" demonstrating skills that would make a Nepalese sherpa green with envy 🤢🤢🤔 Then adam and eve lose their eternal life, except that if they were already eternal why did god also put a tree of eternal life in the garden and ban them from eating from it ?? 🤔🤔 Then of course we have Adam's decendants being punished for it, which seems highly illogical & imoral to me. 🤔 But to be fair the bible seems a little confused on the matter also 👇👇👇👇 The Lord...visits the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation. (Exodus 34:6-7 = Deuteronomy 5:8-10) ............................vrs.................. The son shall *not* suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. (Ezekiel 18:20, cf. Jeremiah 31:30) You know to me that whole original sin biblical narative ( forbidden fruit ect ) seems analogous to me putting a loaded shotgun in a toddlers cot telling them not to touch it, and then being surprised when I hear a *BANG* 💥 and I'm not even omniscient 🤣😅🤣😅 But does this vicarious redemption ( scapegoating) solve the problem and lead to a just and moral solution ?? Well imagine a girl gets raped, they catch the rapist and he gets found guilty in court. The judge sentences him to life, but then says to him "dont worry I will serve your sentence for you" Has the rapist recieved "JUSTICE" ?? Has the raped girl received "JUSTICE" ?? Of course not yet that is precisely what happens under the Christian vicarious redemption (scapegoating) nonsense ideology 🤬🤬 Infact it's an actual Tennant of christianity that even a child murder can be forgiven and go to heaven, if they but repent and believe. 🤮🤮 Your god CANNOT be both perfectly just and perfectly merciful. Mercy is by definition a suspension of justice.

What utter piffle, you know although you clearly struggle with this whole "logic thing" there can be no disputing your linguistic abilities Seldom have I encountered someone fluent in SO many dialects of *GIBBERISH* 🤣😅

Do you really want to get into an ad hominem? Because last I checked, there is plenty dirt against Christian figures. The very people that claim their morals are from God have quite a track record with child molestation in Churches. Spare me this bullshit.

You know although you clearly struggle with this whole "logic thing" there can be no disputing your linguistic abilities Seldom have I encountered someone fluent in SO many dialects of *GIBBERISH* 🤣😅

@@trumpbellend6717 I only speak 4 linguists There are people speaking a 7 or even 8 linguists. Thanks for reading it I hope it helps you.

@@MariusVanWoerden lol 4 languages 🤣🤣🤣 I suggest you spend a little time actually reading the filth that the "God" of biblical naratives endorsed before criticising a good man like Hitch cupcake 😜

You can't prove any of that nonsense about Jesus lol 5 secular writers who never wrote anything else and can't be verified to have ever existed. Those "5 writers" could easily have just been a Roman writer who wanted to pacify the jews who lived apart from Judea

None of this is provable lmfao

God Is Jealous Of His Children, He Protects Us.

this is like saying a bear would be proud of what attacks his cubs.

Crusades, holy wars, inquisitions, forced conversions of indigenous peoples, crashing planes into towers, ect ect all done specifically for religious reasons. By people striving to attain their subjective Gods "moral perfection" and citing the moral imperfection of the victims as justification 🤮🤮🤮

@@trumpbellend6717 And the world would be peaceful and blissful without religion.

@@tomthumb5445 Are we better off without religion ? I think so. We no longer think it acceptable to *"Buy your slaves from the heathen nations that surround you"* Nor that *"if you beat your male or female slave with a rod and they do not die for a day or two"* *"There shall be NO PUNISHMENT for they are your PROPERTY and your money"* I would say that is a step in the right direction wouldn't you ? 😜 Modern societies think that the gathering of sticks on a sabath is not nor ever was immoral and worthy of stoning to death. The same applies also to our unruly rebellious children who disobey their parents ( sounds like most teenagers to me ) . Thankfully a judge today recognizes a girl who has been raped and did not scream is actually a VICTIM and not deserving of death as the bible dictates. Again I would discribe humanity as better off in a meaningful way by disregarding these filthy hurtful religious dictates, do you disagree?? 🙄🤔

Strange because these sophisticated views are absent from the Old and New Testament.

@Satan McDougal II Similarly to prison in life, would the person regret what they've done and seek repentance before or after they're already in jail?

Semantics

“My book is true because it says it’s true”

It has to be more than 8 years ago cuz Hitchens has been dead for almost 10 years now and your comment was posted a month ago.

@Satan McDougal II as his body soul and spirit have now gone to dust forever his words will likewise do

@Satan McDougal II unless you have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit you will be going where he is. Christ is coming back one day and this world will be destroyed and everything and everyone in it. Mr Hitchens loved his flesh to the death he loved wine women( and men ) and drugs to the end. No flesh or any fruit of the flesh makes it out of here. It is the only truth there is in this ghastly world but next to none accept it.

@Satan McDougal II I dont have to prove anything it was not me who made a handsome living out of saying God does not exist. I am happy to accept He does and that there is more than the brief span we have in this wicked world. The world loves the flesh to the death and that was what Mr Hitchens did and what you do, but i think you are probably not as successful in making money out of it as was Hitchens. Whether you believe that or not does not bother me one way or another .

@Satan McDougal II There is either a God or there is just flesh. The fruits mr hitchens flesh were bi sexuality, drug addiction , alcoholism and pride and early death. Nothing good comes from the flesh that is just a fact of life.

@Satan McDougal II the most frightening thing is that you will get your wish.

bit like god

Exactly, because christianity is nothing.

Prove your god exists or you have nothing but empty rhetoric.

@@chesterparsnip Chester, you wouldn’t accept Him if He stood side by side and performed miracles you! How do you explain the “Big Bang” Creation of Space Time and Universe from “nothing”? Don’t give me a “Quantum Fluctuation” BS. As you take your last breath, what do you think is next for you? Hoping for an Eternal Unconsciousness ? I’ll take Pascal’s Wager!

@@davidrichards2113 Haha so all you're doing is playing Pascals wager? Loser. So I'll take it you have NO evidence but only your pathetic rhetoric? And yes if you had evidence I would believe and without question but the fact is you have nothing so personally I'm not playing your game and I'm going to live my life to the full and not play the idea that the after life is better because there's no such thing. I died once and was brought back, there's no angels, no lights and no Jesus, I've been there and done it and there's nothing.

@@chesterparsnip Chester, you died and returned experiencing nothing? Perhaps “nothing” is eternal separation from God? I prefer New Jerusalem I REV 21. Read it sometime and see if still like “nothing”?

@@chesterparsnip “All Things Made New Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

Think he does, in fact he's spot on. Have you ever thought it's you that doesn't understand?

@@chesterparsnip @Chester Parsnip He is saying that God took Jesus and killed him in some barbarous act of human sacrifice in order to pay all the debts of sin. He seems to have completely forgotten that Jesus IS God. He is not sacrificing another human, he is sacrificing himself. That is how the death of Jesus can pay for all sins. His life is worth more than all of the lives that will ever enter this world (which is how he can pay for all the debts of sin) and due to the fact that he is omnipotent he is able to come back from the dead. The crucifixion was an act of self-sacrifice. Hitchens seems to have completely forgotten that. He seems to have also never read the letters of Paul, expounding on how we still retain our personal responsibility to do God's will (to do what's right) even after our sins have been paid for.

@@bennettsunder7376 No I think you'll find that he doesn't believe in your god or Jesus, neither have or ever existed. Paul, Peter and other NT writers did not seem to know anything about the historical Jesus. Never wrote about any of the events taking place in the gospel 1. The virgin birth 2. His miracles 3. His baptism 4. Never references or even acknowledges Jesus’ ethical teachings on earth The apostolic writers only wrote about the death, burial and resurrection - and never even placed them geographically. Nothing, Hitchens knows this so effectively discounts them, his speech is merely pandering to peoples interest. He knows Jesus is merely a demigod invented by christian apologists as they never had one, look up the Rank-Ragland hero scale and you'll see what I mean. So it's you not him with the childish view. Prove the existence of either or you have nothing.

@@chesterparsnip It's rather obvious by reading your response that you haven't actually read any of the Gospels, or if you have there is a great deal you missed. Additionally there is actually more historical evidence of the existence of Jesus than there is even of Julius Caesar. It's undeniable that He existed. There's also an approximately equal amount of evidence for his resurrection, but many people dismiss it because it's supernatural. If Hitchens believed Jesus didn't exist, he was historically ignorant.

@@bennettsunder7376 Haha, interesting that you say I haven't read your gospels yet you very obviously can't refute anything I have said. Also interesting you haven't provided anything by way of evidence for your Jesus. Tell me why all the gospels are copies yet contradict each other? Mark, the earliest gospel, was written at least after 70 A.D. (referencing fall of temple) by a non-eyewitness, and makes numerous cultural and geographical errors that a Jewish writer would not have made such as locations of rivers, cultural customs regarding divorce, locations of towns or Jesus quoting from the greek Septuagint etc. The other gospels all copied from Mark. Luke and Matthew contain over 70% of Mark and mainly make changes in attempts to fix blatant errors made in Mark and to correct Mark’s poor grammar.The writer of Luke even reveals to us in Luke 1:2 that he was not an eyewitness, but that the story has been passed down to him. So in reality they are no more than third hand hearsay accounts written mostly 60yrs after the supposed death of Jesus. So to me it's rather obvious that it's you not Hitchen that is historically ignorant and it's you not I that hasn't read the gospels and fully understood them. As to your claim that there's more evidence for Jesus than ther is for Caesar, well we know the exact day and time that Caesar crossed the Rubicon show me something by way of contemporary evidence the same for Jesus? Show me where we have written evidence that he was in a certain place on a certain day and time. Lets see how much "evidence" you have, I'm saying you have nothing. And just so you know your bible isn't evidence, as we have evidenced with the gospels it is full of errors and is nothing more than a poorly written story book. And nor is "supernatural" evidence, as there's no such thing. This is the bit where most christians either now insult me, disappear, make a blatant attempt to change the subject or just spew out a load of irrelevant religious rhetoric. I'm going for the disappear as you've badly embarrassed yourself.

no true scotsman fallacy

@@SNORKYMEDIA care to elaborate?

Rubbish.

what bollocks - prove your god exists Fullfulll your obligation for 1st Peter 3-15

oh and he explains nothing i want to know how his view defines moral and ethics explain this.

@@jcarr3876 Christianity is immoral to he core and has no ethics. It is quite happy to kill children in the name of its god, shameful.

@@chesterparsnip you have no clue absolutely lost in what christianity means let me tell you the only people who have killed children and people in mass numbers have been atheist like Hitler and the japanese during wwr2. So give me evidence or tell what makes you think this I have heard many I want to know where you are getting this idea about Christianity.

@@jcarr3876 Here you go, this is in your holy book; From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. “Go up baldhead,” they shouted, “go up baldhead!” The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB) Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB) “Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, “Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all - old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple.” So they began by killing the seventy leaders. “Defile the Temple!” the LORD commanded. “Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!” So they went throughout the city and did as they were told.” (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT) And at midnight the LORD killed all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn son of the captive in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their livestock were killed. Pharaoh and his officials and all the people of Egypt woke up during the night, and loud wailing was heard throughout the land of Egypt. There was not a single house where someone had not died. (Exodus 12:29-30 NLT) And as you don't seem to realise Hitler was a catholic christian, Hitler was NEVER excommunicated nor condemned by his church. Matter of fact the Church felt he was JUST and “avenging for God” in attacking the Jews for they deemed the Semites the killers of Jesus. As a young man he was confirmed as a “soldier of Christ.” His most ardent goal at the time was to become a priest. Hitler writes of his love for the church and clergy: “I had excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn splendor of the brilliant church festivals. As was only natural, the abbot seemed to me, as the village priest had once seemed to my father, the highest and most desirable ideal.” -Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
