- This video, 'Christopher Hitchens on Islam and Muhammad', is a tribute to Christopher Hitchens, who died in December 2011, he's blatant honesty and strong rationality, in a great many ways, makes him kind of a hero to a great many Atheists and free thinkers.
Any idea that cannot withstand honest criticism, is not worth believing.
Well said. The religious hate this type of logic. And they also hate another factual statement atheists are forced to use:
Anything claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Hugh - Of course it's just the facts we like, right? Ever lie because you didn't like the truth coming out? Ever cheat because the alternative was too expensive? Yes, facts are pesky things. Your one of those people, the self-proclaimed 'enlightened ones' who cleverly tear down one lie to replace it with their own. Who are you fooling? Religion holds a thousand lies, including this latest version - the myth of the modern god-Man. Your egocentric self is merely co-opting rational thought to justify a life of self indulgent suicide - which is fine, help yourself - just stop with the moral and intellectual superiority claims... it's embarrassing for you and insulting to our intelligence.
Shadowdawg....I'm trying to understand your central point. Do you believe in a god? If so, please be specific on which one. Thanks.
Rationalism and facts stand alone, whether one believes in a god or not. But when we choose to make them mutually exclusive in order to justify ourselves and our behavior, we do a disservice to the quest for truth through logic and reason.
It isn't just the facts that we like that are important, or those facts around which we may comfortably recline. Falsehoods considered and advanced, by any person, for any reason, however well the intention or motive - is reprehensible and intellectually (and eventually in every way practically) dishonest.
Any road of rational and logical thought built upon personal likes or hatreds, is not the road to any sort of truth. For that is a contradictory impossibility.
Um, I'll take that as a no... you don't believe in a god. The god delusion is one of the worst falsehoods advanced on our species. Rational thinking and facts indeed lead to truth. For example, it's fact/truth that none of the hundreds of different of gods our species has worshiped has proven to be real. Therefore, it's irrational for some to claim otherwise.
A great man who saw the truth and help others see it. One of the greatest gifts to our modern age was he.
Christopher Hitchens was a Zionist lying dog who is burning in Hell with anyone who barked with him against the only true religion, Al Islam the religion of Allah. Any other Zionist dog barking or not shall have the same dwelling hell.
Hitchens proves at least one thing...that education is the saviour of our sanity, boy do I wish I had his brainpower.
You do but your utilizing skills aren't up to par !

@@SuperRguibi people like you is the reason why science need to be taught in school. 2:31
@@SuperRguibiLOL your entire life's outlook is a joke. Go back and hide in your cave
Never let the words and ideas of this great man die out. Hitchens was a gift from the universe to humanity.. and Im glad he lived his life to its fullest and took on the bullshit in this world.
+The Don Mgtow I believe that although his alcoholism ultimately contributed to his death, it gave him that edge and confidence to say what others would not. He certainly never pulled any punches and with an intellect like his behind that...utterly brutal!
MaTtRoSiTy we all have our vices.. i think he said what he said cos he didn't feel the need to impress anyone.
The Don Mgtow Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking him. In his case, the whole lot combined to make an amazingly unrestricted intellectual who said it as it is!
MaTtRoSiTy i didn't think you were :) i just think his reasoning is beyond being too drunk to give a fuck
+The Don Mgtow hitchens was a fuckin bigot state slave who needed a bottle more than he needed the truth. a propaganda horn for the sort of smarmy bigot fucks that think it's clever to bomb people cos of their religion.
I think when Christopher met God finally, God said, "Come in, come in. I'd much rather hang out for eternity with an honest skeptic than all those dogmatic ass kissers."
Ahaa brilliant! God probably added "ever since that prick Lucifer fucked off to Hell I've had no one to argue with. Apart from Jesus when I had to convince him to let the Romans kill him."
Alexander Peake Ha ha. Yes!
***** True!
LOL, god likes cool people? it's all rebels and free thinkers in heaven trying to understand the universe, the rest get to live in a theme park pipe dream just like their religions promised them.
Robert W. Lester A theme park! which would be our hell. LOL
I'm an atheistic Muslim and the thing that I never understood was when a Muslim rejects the corrupted Bible, but don't recognized the Quran is simply borrowed from it? Very hard too wrap it all together and it to make sense.
true enough, if Muhammad is meant to be confirmed the genuine by prophecy but you reject the sources as corrupt then how do you confirm anything. it's crazy stuff
As an atheist, I appreciate your non-belief. But using the word "muslim' is contradictory.
You know what I mean. I wasn't trying to make a point
j Nakhjo Sorry, I truly wasn't sure what you meant. Muslim is a religious term. It's like saying "Atheist Christian". All the best and keep up the good work being a non-believer! It shows a higher intelligence than billions of others.
An atheistic Muslim: Is that someone who does not believe but will nevertheless obey?
The super salty Muslims in the comments demonstrate that basic logic and reason, when applied to religion, are death to belief.
See you say this but can you define what basic logic and reason is? Have you read any textbook on logic? Is hitchens really as logical and reasonable than you think he is? Wouldn’t it illogical to not think that? Think for yourself.
I listen to this every few weeks just for the relaxation of his voice. Miss you Hitch!
I am so lucky to have an unbiased upbringing and education that has led me to make my own mind up about religion. They are all inventions of the human mind, some more interesting, violent or sadistic than the next. Let's be the generation that wakes up!

I took this audio clip from God Is Not Great and edited in the pictures of Hitchens, we need the hard scepticism of a no-nonsense journalist to cut through the bullshit from time to time, and so we should continue in the same vain to question that which some say is unquestionable.
Robert W Lester Thanks for doing this. I really appreciate your help, on taking the time to put this together.
Why do so many otherwise smart intellectuals of today believe that the intellectually ignorant people of 1500-3000 years ago were right about their beliefs?
Tradition is my bet. When all over society that imagery is in your head, well sometimes it takes over. And some people have the need for the biggest daddy (mama) around... but it's just a theory of mine
Because life can be cheap and fleeting for many. Religion gives peace of mind, hope for a future.
usernamesrlamo That, however, does not make it right.
Damn Hitchens! We need you now!
* Muhammad and Islam Are False *
This is one of the world's greatest truths...
Just s long as you don't let other nonsense slide.
I knew Islam was a load of nonsense and this merely confirms it
I miss Christopher Hitchens !
you will see in hell ☻

I'm not an atheist

I've noticed through the comments you are racist against blacks, and because of this you are far of religion!!!
God says:
And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge.
& says:
But those who wrong follow their [own] desires without knowledge. Then who can guide one whom Allah has sent astray? And for them there are no helpers.
& says:
We did not create the heavens and earth and what is between them except in truth and [for] a specified term. But those who disbelieve, from that of which they are warned, are turning away.
&
And the Day those who disbelieved are exposed to the Fire [it will be said], "Is this not the truth?" They will say, "Yes, by our Lord." He will say, "Then taste the punishment because you used to disbelieve."
&
And those who disbelieve say, "Do not listen to this Qur'an and speak noisily during [the recitation of] it that perhaps you will overcome."
&
Say, "Have you considered: if the Qur'an is from Allah and you disbelieved in it, who would be more astray than one who is in extreme dissension?"
.&
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,
Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.
then will you not give thought?
watch this video you may change your mind . do not lose anything

This should be a compulsory viewing for any muslim, as it simply proves how absurd absolutely islam truly is.
Dominic Bennett as long as we have similar bashing for other beliefs then we can be sure that rationality is given better odds of setting in.
Agreed.
Robert W. Lester Not all things are equal. A very common mistake made far too often.
Too right !
Nick Breen I am not saying that, I'm not even suggesting it.
my statement is that criticism must be the same, I won't let of a peado priest just because there's a religion that was founded by a paedophile.
[I mock]
I'll assume you don't mean that, I'll assume you mean that the middle east is on the edge of a wider conflict, that has become our problem with the over flow of extremism to become a global concern. If you mean this, if you do, then I agree.
Brilliant brilliant man. Love you Hitch x

I like Christopher Hitchens, even though I believe in Christianity. I appreciate that he approaches everything from a calm and logical perspective, and that he's able to communicate and defend his points well. It gives one a lot to think about from a practical perspective, which i think a lot of people who practice religion seem to forget about fairly frequently.
Actually, there are many things in faith that are backed up by history, science, and rational logic. Otherwise, I wouldn't still believe in Christianity. But I can honestly say that I've tested my faith thoroughly for over a decade with research from a practical standpoint, and listened with consideration to other perspectives. Unfortunately, most American Christians don't do that, which is why they come across as being spoon-fed sheep who cherry-pick their beliefs and spout whatever furthers their own personal agenda. However, it is foolish to say that logic and belief cannot coexist, because those who practice science (for example) construct their beliefs/theories on the foundation of logic (which can also be right/wrong, as in the world was thought to be flat at one point.) Also, people have every day beliefs based on logic as well. If someone doesn't know how to swim, they're not going to dive into a lake, because they *believe* (or have faith) that they will drown, even though they have never tried or experienced it for themselves. It is logic that founds that belief.
You are precisely wrong about history science and logic backing up your faith.
It does not. It cannot because it is rubbish. Faith is constantly reassuring yourself you didn`t make a stupid mistake, when you gave in and said you believed this bollocks. It is terrorism, it demands belief and obedience; and threatens us with real and imaginary torment. But the vilest man can be redeemed while those he murdered can go to hell. Vicarious redemption is nonsense, immoral and insane.AND FICTION.
I walked away from Christianity over forty years ago and now I marvel at how I deceived myself into thinking just as you still do. it is called confirmation bias, or cognitive dissonance.
How much nonsense and lies can you tollerate in the REVEALED Description of the god you believe is the one and only true..
bla bla made up bullshit Your god is made entirely of lies and fear.
Actually, history, science, and logic do have some contribution factors towards my faith. If you would like a historical/psychological perspective from the mind of a former atheist, i would recommend More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell, and if you are willing to get into a scientific discussion about Charles Darwin and the origins of the earth and universe as we know it, i will be happy to oblige. It seems like you had a bad experience around 40 years ago, and I'm sorry for your experience. I can see why you think the way that you do, but after the thorough research I've conducted on my own faith as well as other sources, i would have to say that i still believe that my faith is well-founded. Although, as i mentioned in my first comment, i appreciate and respect men like Christopher Hitchens very much. I like listening to what he and others have to say according to their beliefs, because it usually gives me something to chew on.

STOP LYING TO YOURSELF.
I already said that I'm willing to have a conversation. I admire Christopher Hitchen's ability to defend his points in a calm and logical manner. If you're able and willing to research and talk about these points that I've already laid out, then we can talk. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, then I'm afraid to inform you that you're not very convincing. When most people resort to strong emotions in debate, it usually means that they are incapable of expressing and defending their own ideas based on logic and reason alone. I ask you again, would you be willing to read the historical/psychology-based account "More Than A Carpenter" by Josh McDowell, a former Atheist? And are you willing to discuss the origins of the earth and universe as we know it in addition to Charles Darwin and his scientific theories in comparison to the laws of nature and physics? If not, there is nothing you can say that will dissuade me from my beliefs.
In the beginning Man created god...
And killing started...
I believe this is from his audiobook, God Is Not Great. It's a great read and if you get the audiobook you have the pleasure to have him read it to you.

He knew Islam was evil.
Most similar beliefs are as bad in their extreme forms, but, of those faiths, they lack the same numbers. Making most people in Judaism and Christianity the lesser of evils, in a manner of speaking.
I know it as well however islamic countries' publics are dramatically ignorants. In addition islam always threatens with death all muslims in case they would give up their religion!!!
Wow... Christopher had a wonderful voice
hard to believe it's been nearly 6 yrs since he checked out. his voice is wonderful.
I agree with you,a very rational man whose words made sense.Even though I am not an atheist but I just admire him.
Question: Where can i get transcript of this talk? Very informative. Seems to be well researched. Like to read it.
+Kurt Wiesman
He's reading from one of his books. Not sure which one: God Is Not Great, probably.
Which, above, the uploader explains, I've just seen.
Christopher is a genius. So sad he has passed away. We need more ppl like him.
indeed, we have some great minds and a few great speakers, yet of these people, a small number are able to combine these traits in the style of the Hitch.
Islam can at best be accepted as yet another series of beliefs on a planet that for most of human history was utterly mysterious.
Hitch I miss you. You are my hero
I love his expression of his intelligence.
with music,art,sex,dance banned on earth and the promise of a Paradise full of women no wonder some of them are ready to die.
true.

Regarding this subject, there is nothing more important than informed research and its clear delivery in recordings like this. Thank you Robert.
Great to hear your voice.. rip
another false religion, religion by definition not a fair method to find truth, but in Islam and other faith we can be quite sure it is not what we find in reality, and thus we can tolerate it as a facet of the faith community, yet not allow our reason to be swayed by such irrationality.
Unfortunately brain washed believers of bullshit can still do you a lot of damage like chopping your head off if you don't think like them
Look at the damage they did in India ( Mughal empire) butchering 80,000 000 Hindus for not converting....selling their wives and children into slavery...
DAVID LOCKWOOD u r totally incorrect all u heard or read is worng u do not have a single kknowledge of islam
DAVID LOCKWOOD note that most pakistanis, for example are not pro-taliban, why? because they have their own doubts. brainwashing is never perfect, it's usually just superficial and relatively effective. this is why the really nutjobs blow themselves up, while the other extremists in islam like to line up their loons as cannon fodder?
DAVID LOCKWOOD true enough, back then, a holocaust of hindus, something that was worse than the largest killer of the 20th century, mao, who killed as many as 60million chinese, and note mao and hitler, and others, had modern methods, and in hitlers case an industry of extermination, the muslims who killed millions over centuries were often killing in the most personal, brutal way, their fellow human beings. no wonder so many muslims, in this age, seek to find a better life in the west, or rebel against their dictators/pseudo-democracies in the middle east.
the sadest thing is, the religious fascists then use revolution to hijack public concerns, as in egypt when they depose the president, the botherhood step in to say they are the revolution, the same often true elsewhere, and indeed in syria, where there were those who were not religiously based who battle the syian army, they are now seemingly absorbed by IS
I'm not christian and I don't believe in religions but DO YOU WANT ME TO QUOTE ALL THE HORRIBLE, CRUEL, VIOLENT AND MISOGINISTIC THINGS THE QURAN AND THE HADITHS SAY? I wouldnj't have space here. At least Jesus preached love, peace, non violence. He taught universal brotherhood in the parable of the Good Samaritan and placed love as the first commandment. He saved a woman from being stoned, he condemned the "law of an eye for an eye". All of these were restored by islam, which stones, kills apostates, teaches the law of an eye for an eye and preaches hatred, violence against non msulims
AAAAH!! THANKS TO THE LATE CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS-R.I.P.

Very interesting Hitch essay, but can you please give a source for this? Was this a reading from one of his own books or articles? If so which one? If not, what is it?
+monkgroupie sure, i note in the description the source, although a link isn't required, it's from the audio book of god is not great. there are many uploads of it on youtube.
+Robert W. Lester Thanks.
logical and concise from the master of dissemination and exposer of nonsense.
OK, as someone who speaks multiple languages, this "you have to read it in the original language" argument is nonsense. There is certainly a layer stripped off in translation. Things like rhyme, meter, and idioms to a certain extent (although you can certainly explain idioms in footnotes) are lost in translation. The fundamental meaning of the words is not lost though. Even if there is some clever turn of phrase or word play, a skilled translator can explain, or at least approximate it.
We have millions of books translated into thousands of languages across the world. People from all different civilizations across time have read, understood, and discussed them, but suddenly when it comes to the Canon, it's totally unintelligible. Nonsense.
Scholars have been reading and discussing ancient Greek philosophy for thousands of years. Subject matter far more complicated than the garbage in the Quran, and no one seems to make the same claims about this material.
Nobody cuts your head off if you disagree with Aristotle.
A word about Hitch. He accumulated a wealth of Knowledge and was a prophet of the English language . His words were like daggers stabbing into the heart of things . He would say things I felt but could not express intelligibly
+rafael picon couldn't agree more, well said.
Prophet Hitchens (peace be upon him).
this was the only guy that could have saved the west from islam as well as SJW. rest in peace sir. i hope your fellow westerners will grow a pair and stop this cancer.
+brewing storm Not true. There's still Donald Trump.
i meant peacefully by simply challenging their stupid ideologies openly without any fear.
the battle isn't over, the war will rage, freedom will prevail.
the tide is changing, this is why immigration sceptic parties are rising, and when they get more members and more moderate members they stop being far right, many are labelled far right for concerns over muslims gangs, crime, and attacks. at the very least a slowing of immigration to ensure resources can be put to test to allow more integration would help, but saying this is racist, or so I'm told by some nutjobs.
we have some, sadly some are just noise makers on youtube, I could list of a few, but there's no point. A Hitch standard polemic would be an advantage.
Jordan Peterson is probably doing a better job right now
He was the LAST of the Left to discuss Islam. 🤔

It is always interesting looking at religions with the sharp edge of logic. However, the value of religions is more in their social impact... and they are in many ways just part of a people's overall understanding of how to live together with each other. If you ignore the interactions of various groups of humans with other groups, how things work within cultures can be quite interesting (including the small influence religion usually has in such things).
Osho talks on Koran:
Mohammed was an absolutely illiterate man, and the Koran, in which his sayings are collected, is ninety-nine percent rubbish. You can just open the book anywhere and read it, and you will be convinced of what I am saying. I am not saying on a certain page - anywhere. You just open the book accidentally, read the page and you will be convinced of what I am saying.
Whatsoever one percent truth there is here and there in the Koran is not Mohammed's. It is just ordinary, ancient wisdom that uneducated people collect easily - more easily than the educated people, because educated people have far better sources of information - books, libraries, universities, scholars. The uneducated, simply by hearing the old people, collect a few words of wisdom here and there. And those words are significant, because for thousands of years they have been tested and found somehow true. So it is the wisdom of the ages that is scattered here and there; otherwise, it is the most ordinary book possible in the world.
Muslims have been asking me, "Why don't you speak on the Koran? You have spoken on The Bible, on the Gita, this and that." I could not say to them that it is all rubbish; I simply went on postponing. Even just before I went into silence, a Muslim scholar sent the latest English version of the Koran, praying me to speak on it. But now I have to say that it is all rubbish, that is why I have not spoken on it - because why unnecessarily waste time?
+summer osho is to small to speak for the miracle of Quran....his words are rabish

Recall this fact. In Albert Pike's book he spoke about the 3 causes/routes/tools of the 3 world wars that would be implemented to create chaos and the "nwo" described in his book.

3:58 This is why I was always uncomfortable about Hitchen's books never having citations... Wycliffe died of a stroke in Church when he was in his sixties lol he wasn't burned alive... Hitchens was a really thought-provoking guy but goddamn his writings are too sloppy with the facts, especially when you consider the extremely powerful claims he is trying to argue.
Fun to listen to but be careful, no self-respecting historian would fuck up a fact like that lol.
Beppe Sapone This is the problem with fanboys...
We all appreciate what Hitchens brought to the intellectual world, and that certainly includes myself. However, he is too loose with facts for so many of his books to be without reference, especially when one considers how unique his arguments are - ironically, one has to have faith in his credibility alone when accepting what he puts forward in his writings. But, that said, one must first know the facts before they can identify mistakes and I assume that youre fresh off of a google search on the subject lol but like I said, anyone who actually knows their history wouldn't fuck up a fact like that.
And furthermore, if you had any appreciation for history at all, you wouldn't try and refute those who pointed out huge fuck-ups on that scale, no matter how often you've masturbated to his voice lol.
I don't consider that to be sloppy writing, but sloppy research. His writing was almost perfect.
However, I noticed the same problem, which is why he should have referenced his citations (even if it was just to make sure it was clear). I can imagine he was half out of his face with scotch when he wrote this.
Most of his references are usually quite solid though.
Also Hitch didn't claim Wycliffe was burned alive, he said people like Wycliffe, Coverdale, Tyndale (meaning people in their position at that time were threatened).
All three were threatened with live burnings at some point for attempting early translations. Tyndale was actually strangled to death, then burned after.
But ... he should have made this more clear by saying something like "were at risk of being buried alive"
R Jonas That kind of talk discredits you.
maggie hari My opinions rarely deserve credit in the first place, I'm afraid lol
Miss him. Can't imagine how he would elevate the conversation on current events.

Where is this audio from?
the audiobook of 'god is not great', well worth looking up, he has other points on islam in it too, I have considered selecting more parts to have a greater edit, since he covers many points.
some times i read comments on a vid like this,and i think to myself,what in the world is this person trying to say?
well, that is the question. :)
Mohammed would stay with a monk when trading. He told all his writings and later used them to manipulate people. Wherever Islam is joy departs. Color is greyed. Music dies and the laughter and life inside every person dies.
Dear sir,
Your analysis is pretty much remarkable and very appreciated and has to be more critically searched and respectfully replied to.
My belief is there are a very reasonable and justified answer within the true original religion of Islam I have some answers but not all of them and your words made me think to go deeper in my religion and its teachings.
All my respect to you.
Signed from a Muslim believer :)
Such eloquence in the service of journalistic truth... Vale Christopher Hitchens.
He made a believer out of me!! hehe
I believe in evidence and the openminded sharing of thoughts and opinions.
Having said that,i've had just about enough of the same old psychobabble from people who think a single book(written by men)has all of the answers.Get a clue,buy another book,and try not to kill too many people because your imaginary friend says it's a good idea!! In the mean time,why don't you do the (Christian) thing,and pray for our immortal souls..I don't know but I seem to remember something along those lines in that rag you've never really read but are soooo inclined to mis-quote!!
Oh! and please,keep your hands off the choirboys:I'm quite certain THEY deserve
a little more from an organisation that was created to make sure the little ones got a headstart in life by learning the GOOD word.... Peace!

Hey Mike G. I think I agree with you,but surely ALL BOOKS,at this point I believe,have got to have been written by men.Although I’m holding out for the first alien writings.
Open and honest discussions are thee only way forward.
Love you Chris.... RIP😎🔫😈
Love Susanyana's comments re Hitchens being a saint. He is certainly a hero. Why are there so few heros like him. I miss the joy of listening to his great and thoughtful mind at work.
Great Video, Subscribed

Beware the Wahhabi...........
GreenmanXIV :)
Super relevent.
What a brilliant mind, and a honest one, i get really sad knowing that these videos and opinions are all the are left of him, there will be no more :( RIP
A truly brilliant mind, not afraid to speak the truth as he sees it. What he says makes perfect sense.
The sooner humanity ditches religion in its entirety, a better and safer world we will all live in. And if there is a God or a superior force, as yet beyond our understanding, he/ it certainly bears no resemblance whatsoever, to the God portrayed in any of the ancient so-called holy books.
dropping the worst bits is vital, but I suspect there will almost always be those who think they are here by a god given right.
Hmm, this is going to require lengthy discussion, mind if we continue it in private? 500 words isn't sufficient on the video comments... or do we continue here?
I'll settle for 'as well as'
Actually that is one of my working hypotheses - what we write often says more about ourselves than the other.
It may also do you well to relisten to Hitchens and perhaps wonder how his words describes himself more than that which he criticises.
and, to continue, how was he support of an "Islamist regime"?
and more importantly how does that detract from the points in this video, which are from the audio book God Is Not Great?
As far as "reformation" goes. There are actually countless sects of Islam with their different reinterpretations of things. And countries where Arabic isn't understood - they typically have their own interpretation as well as merging of religion and local culture into some form that is usually identified as being religious (except that few people are interested in reading the original Islamic texts or their translations, so they just follow the local interpretation - much like in many Christian traditions)
secular Muslims in the Balkans are worth noting, as is Sufism as a reflective religion based on a more open philosophical islam, friends of mine in the past who are muslim were not known to be muslim due to them not holding to all the rules and not being fundamental in their world view, there are many other examples in the world, yet sadly the news media and middle east tyrannies are focused on very conservative versions of Islam
Always great to listen to Hitchens,he was a mesmerising speaker.
Mesmerize this bitch. Christopher Hitchens was a Zionist lying dog who is burning in Hell with anyone who barked with him against the only true religion, Al Islam the religion of Allah. Any other Zionist dog barking or not shall have the same dwelling hell.
Is there a written transcript for this video?
it's from his book, so buy a second-hand copy for a few pounds.
Name of the book?
+Sarim Mehdi I think it's God Is Not Great - how religion poisons everything
We would like to see him vs anyone, sadly this is not to be again. RIP Chris
indeed, but it should be realised by the faithful that they can't present only the good side of religious faith as the whole story. I think balance and understand is far wiser than ignorance
Nobody venerates Hitchens, nor did he ever ask to be venerated. He is simply a logical, morally-consistent, and (let's face it) highly entertaining voice against the caprices of organized religion.
281 Muslims didn't understand a word good Hitch said.
This so called, 'religion' is the sickest, saddest position that Humanity can take. It really is, in the truest sense of the word, pathetic.
what do you expect from primitive desert warlords??
just brilliant. thank you for posting ..
agreed, to stop a child from doing something but not truly saying why it is not a good idea is no way to teach.
if it come to faith and the impact thereof we should not impose a repression, but instead encourage knowledge.
I say educate the people, and with the resulting rationality we may create a better society for humanity as a whole, maybe even religion can survive in such a world, although by thought it would be stripped of danger
I'm a Christian but I think Hitchens is brilliant and is a very honest and honorable man who some my fellow Christians need to emulate
he read his own book God is not great, books are bound to be more long winded than the more direct punches in a cut and thrust of a debate, patience and the accumulation of data is far more valuable than the minor dagger blows that scuff the ropes of the holier than thou.
