He had his time here.
He left us a fine legacy.
Surprised it wasn't stolen.
From him.
The greatest wielder of English language in human history. The most charismatic employer of logic, wit and perspective ever.
And perhaps the 2nd greatest drinker, after Andre The Giant.
Thanks for this. I wish Hitch was still among us. We're very fortunate to still have some much of him.
God how I miss Hitchens.
The ironey in that statement, is a hilarious
@@roscopeco2000 🤣🤣🤣 yes
"No child behind left." Very CH chapter title.
10 years friends since he left this world, and oh what a mess it has been.
Absolutely
He put everything I believe into perspective
Ah, what a delightful beautiful bastard he was, I sorely miss him, his written works, voice and legacy ensures his immortality. 🥃 This tumbler of JWB is in your honor.
The great man lives on in his work and his words
Greatest freethinker
@@elnegromasguapo @chris sonofpear1 Satan is well pleased with his hitchfuk fool!
@@mysticwine sad that this is the types of things that religious simpletons say. Sickening
Well, he still lives and he is in a place he chose
@@jamesmarriott7216 Misery = ch
Great clip. He really was a teacher of autonomy, and spent a considerable amount of time releasing people from their particular theological shackles.
Saddest death in human history.... We miss you Hitchens😢
Sadder than Jesus?
@@ashleycohen2258 Um, he got better apparently...Which is uncannily similar to the story written in the Indian Vedas (circa 1500 - 1500 BCE) which also included the virgin birth, crucifixion and resurrection...it's almost as if jews, christians and muslims were Bronze age morons who couldn't come up with their own rubbish story...
@@ashleycohen2258 jesus probably never lived or died.. we know for a fact hitchens did
I miss him.
Brilliant.
I wasn't aware that the Hitch had given up smoking. Sadly, it was too late to save him, and the world is worse off for it.
Rip. ..bless your family.
R.I.P. Hitch😔
I wish he was still here
I have quit smoking too. I’m sorry I know it’s the right thing but I’m 56 and I have no vices. I was wondering what you do without vices? I’m thinking I become like the Church Lady SNL.
Smoke a joint. It's a healthier vice.
Thank God for Christopher Hitchens!! Just kidding. I loved the guy and I hope that what he inspired in the multitudes will bring about more Christopher Hitchens to continue his incredible teachings about truth and putting the spotlight on the lies we are daily told.
I love when Hitchens said "I stopped sleeping with men when my appearance declined to the point only women would sleep with me."
I automatically read George Stephanopoulos in the title, but now that I see what it really is, I am absolutely amazed that a more ridiculous name exists
Racist much? GFY
Coming from "Tyler Durr" that's a bit much...
Hitchens was the perfect contradiction as summed up in these clips - on the one hand a relentless champion to rid the world of the poison of religion and the dogmatism and demagoguery that defines it, and yet his untimely death was caused in no small way by his inability to avoid the temptations and self-destructive poisons of addictions. In this sense the two cancel each other out making almost anything he tried to argue invalid. To spend your life seeking the highs of drugs or the sedatives of drugs (or both likely in alternating fashion) is not much different than falling victim to the stupefying drug of religion and it is precisely this fallibility that fuels the cults of religion as the presumptive better option than drugs. Humanity will have to evolve into something better without either of these options by way of resolving the drive to seek them out in the first place and there doesn't appear to be much movement on this front best I can tell.
Please share my two brief videos with other people. Thanks!

Have to wonder if his belief in God has changed.
Yeah, now he's been dead for over ten years maybe he's changed his mind ...(!?)
Yet the religious are still here and in big numbers while he is decomposing all by himself.
Religion is dead.
Religion, delusions, beliefs in saints, spirits, devils and all sort of absurdities will live on until the end of human extinction. This is why free-inquire, science and rational skepticism is necessary to counteract the world of fallacy and stupidity.
This is why ultra-smart people like Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss, Sam Harris, Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan are necessary on this planet.
all he ever stood up for was the truth undiluted, those bothered by the truth are dangerous to the rest of humanity in that they want to force others to obey their archaic beliefs
I bet Hitchens regrets it all now …. Sorry, times up, I honestly feel sorry for him as a person, but he had his chance, well heaps of chances and he rejected it
Hitchens don't regret shit. He has entered the void. There is no thought or regret or anything. There is nothing.
Lmfao your literally willing to mock someone’s death to feel morally superior
Sorry to break it to you once again, but there’s no going anywhere after death, no heaven nor hell, all of the above is man made out of fear and arrogance creating his immortality out of his refusal to accept that he is nothing more than just another animal. When we perish one day we all cease to exist…the end.
Totally agree. He unfortunately was never saved.
@@ferdinandagordon223 But he saved so many
This is TV for simpletons.
*@sonny irish* ☘️ What is?
Disputing the the "truths" of delusional people is not simple at all.
@@StopMAGA Yes the truth is Christianity made the West and ended slavery.Dispute that.
@@sonnyirish3678 Very weak argument. Everybody believed in Christianity when slavery was abolished, so it stands to reason Christians ended slavery. However, that was before science offered other explinations. Do we still believe the earth is flat? Can we agree that not all animals were on Noah's Ark? Is the Christian God bigger than the universe? Can an omnipotent celestial being inseminate a human? Do people live after they are dead? The improbability of such things, with no proof to back it up, is why religion isn't trusted like it once was.
@@sonnyirish3678 Are you freaking KIDDING me?!! Christianity ended slavery? Do I need to begin providing quotes from Christians DEFENDING slavery in the antebellum and Civil War years? Time and time again, southerners literally claimed that, by enslaving Africans and "Christianizing" them, they were lifting them up out of their savage state. In any case, the Bible repeatedly condones slavery, so those Christians who did oppose slavery on moral grounds were certainly NOT doing so based on any biblical dictate.
