If hutchins keeps degrading God bad things will happen to him
@@matthewklahn7523
You think that imputing the Dunning Kruger effect is an argument?! It’s basically an ad hominem attack, paraphrased as follows: “you’re stupid but think that you’re smart.“
Try using rational arguments next time.
God Is Not Great, but Hitchens's book certainly is.
@@davidhamburg7868
Hitchens was a dork with a good vocabulary.
Please fashion a moral code from atheism for us, thanks. Otherwise there is no right and wrong.
@@davidhamburg7868 God is the existence of Love. Everybody believes Love exists.
To degrade that, so you can impress others, comes with Consequences
I swear every time I hear Hitchens speak I learn a new word.
Same here and Ive been improving on that context with also including Intellectual speakers with the likes of Dawkins,Carroll,Denett,Krauss,Feynman and the list goes on!
The man was a living breathing Encyclopedia and Dictionary rolled into one.
The man's vocabulary was astounding. A dictionary is a must when reading his work.
Your vulgar words and hatred will surely land you in Hell also. However, since Mr. Hitchens did not believe in Hell, he has passed-on to the realm of nothingness, which is where we'll all end up. Trump 2020
That’s probably just because you’re stupid
When Hitchens died, he left a void that nobody has been able to fill.
And nobody ever will.
I am fine with that. It would make people exchangeable.
We need different voids filled now. Hitchens destroyed the idea that religions are untouchable.
Today, a book is due similar to his which may well be written by a new author titled "Government is not great - Authority destroys everything..."
If global government responses to Covid and human trafficking are anything to go by, such a book is long overdue.
i think sam seder is filling that role rly well

When your father tells you that they have never lied to you then it's safe to assume they lie to you the most out of anyone in your family. If I'm kind, considerate, compassionate, loyal, and truthful then I shouldn't have to tell people that
But he didn't claim that his father TOLD him that he has never told him a lie. It seems more like he just believes that. For example I truly believe my father has never lied to me and he has never once had to tell me he isn't lieing. I agree that if your father actually tells you he hasn't lied to you it is probably likely he has, but that isn't what I heard here. (Also I am paused at about 30 seconds into this video to comment so I'm not sure what is in store for the rest of the video. I'm just stating what I heard it seems that you are commenting on in the beginning) ✌
Laughs in Santa
Huh - too much overthinking there for me I'm afraid. I've often told my kids we should tell each other the truth; I've also told them if they've a problem/worry etc to come to me and we'll do what we can to sort it - I wouldn't NOT say that just "because I shouldn't have to".
There are of course instances where a parent has no choice but to lie to their child - I suppose then your way works out, as it's never been clarified.
@@MeMyselfAndEyez too many diy at home armchair psychologists on CZcams man.
@@beemelonhead1 Rather hoping you're referring to the original poster! :-D
Hitchens died nearly 6 years ago, yet his intellectual wrecking ball has never ceased to swing.
May his brilliance ever continue to inspire and drive social progress.
I’m afraid that is untrue. His central thesis was that we did not require God, and what had been prescribed by religion because it was categorically false.
Well, you do not have God as a central component of as part of your societies. And as a result you have presided over the destruction of the family system. Now that gays are celebrated in popular culture, you can expect their population to rise in percentage terms over the coming decades. People are not getting married anymore, nobody fancies paying alimony. Divorce rates are sky high. People are now have kids as late as possible. And with women joining the workplace en mass you have had massive wage compression that has rendered a lot of men that would’ve made ends meet in the late 80s redundant. There is an epidemic of the fully grown unmarriable man child. In addition to new movements like MGTOW and Red Pill. This trend will also continue and it will be the death of Western society. And it is not altogether unprecedented, Japan is seeing this first hand.
Actually, things were much better when women were less promiscuous and working class men could raise a family of 5 on a single salary. Nobody can buy a house these days. The whole dynamic is falling apart. Women have not been this unhappy, since the 1950s. Which means the only time they were unhappier than they presently are was the decade during world war fucking two. And yet, it’s a fabulous time to be alive.food is cheap,!everyone has a toilet, we have google, WiFi on planes. It’s strange.
Something is amiss. In addition, it’s interesting how he had no hesitation in defending Rushdie! It would have been nice to have had some consistency.
Dying in your sins is not brilliant
@@AH-tf1tm You can't lay the economics on a more Liberal Society Mr. Foxsucker . Your ilk suported Vietnam and the " Greed is Good ethos ! " which has contributed to the economic decline of the Middle Class in America ! outsourcing of jobs , Corporate Raiders of the 80s , Banking scandals that continues ., Corporate welfare ,! And Throw the G word around ! How much do those Big Tiem Evangelists / Christian Entrepreneurs make ? It was fed to me that a lot of local Churches where I live now ask for 15 percent tithes . Hmm did Jesus appear to them and told them to adjust the rates
First off. I’m a Muslim. So..I wasn’t pro Vietnam or anything else. Secondly religion has many drawbacks. That has never been in question. I like to “sin”. Marijuana and vagina are some of my most favourite things on earth. I just have the wherewithal to understand that this incessant social experiment that you are partaking in over there is a shit show. And it is going to end really really badly. Retaining some conservative values on a societal context is wholly appropriate. Irrespective of individual belief.
This is the most embarrassing comment I've ever read.
bless the internet for keeping this man alive forever..
where is hitchens now?
@Prince Vegeta , i just hope that in his last breath he repented and accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour.
Absolutely
@Prince Vegeta and this hitchens guywhat has he done for you?
What’s it like to be a Satanist Communist?
"The Life of Brian" is a far better movie.
I watched Mel Gibson's movie all the way through and never laughed once.
Really? I laughed the entire time. What a nut job Mel Gibson is.
I agree, although I never watched Mel Gibson's movie. Mainly because it has Mel Gibson in it, but also because it glorifies the mythology of Christianity.
Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ is pretty great too, and Christians hate it. So that makes it cool in my book.

Bravo, sir 😂
I laughed at that. He truly was great at debating.
"It took me ages to get ahold of a pirate copy" lmao love Hitchens
As good as he was "God is Not Great" is filled with the same tired old arguments that people have been using forever. I agree with him but the research for that book was lazy.

@@MrJungle123 i was watching this video and while I respect him, the thought about the book came to me. Its not wrong video. It just happens to be what I was watching while thinking of something else over a glass of scotch. I agree with his thesis of the book but his points are tired and rehashed. I'm a fan but it was Hitchen's laziest work.
@@MrJungle123 and yes in this comment he is more consice and makes good points. Its a better example of him. He was half drunk all the time but always had a great command of the english language.Much like Churchill.

Ironic as life of Brian had to remove all the perceived "antisemitic scenes & characters". Google "Otto the Zionist".

You are missed greatly, Christopher Hitchens. May 2022. ❤️
So is my grandma
I concur. He helped me realize I had been a lifelong atheist.
Missed by whom? Did not even know he had passed. One less conceited individual living in the world if reports of his death are real.
@@saintsone7877 Missed by people with actual brains. Funny how a random nobody says they never even heard, while millions of people have. Sad
@@alexb9969 Not sad Alex but your response is.
I rarely watch NEWS as much of it is fake.
Dawkins is NOT the centre of my universe and I honestly did not know he had passed.
The fact you cannot accept a simple fact shows how sad your comment is.
I guarantee you Alex that if you were able to poll every person on the planet Earth instantly you would be shocked to see his death would not be known by the majority of people on the Earth today.
Only you think he was so important all knew of his life/death. Sadly for you the rest of the world did not idolise this liar.
I remember Hutton Gibson on Sale of the Century, at the time Mad Max 1;came out ....he was champion for a few nights and if I remember correctly he won a bit of dosh too
The first word you hear before being hitchslapped: "well......"
Then you get up once you regain consciousness and find that he most probably used your own hand to slap you.
...... and thats the only word you hear!
Mel Gibson is not known to make historically accurate films.
G Town Dave watch the devil and father amorth trailer.
christopher hitchens should've cross pats with what I describe here.
Mel Gibson is a bigot and a racist he proves it every time he gets faling down drunk or makes a snuff film trying to incite hate towards Jews
Haha love the way this guy ends up educating whoever is interviewing him
Trotskyist, there is a difference. And if that's the point were you draw your line on whom you listen to/learn from then you're indeed, a truly lost cause.
Yes, and what do you call a follower of Trotsky's distinct brand of Marxism?
Trotsky may have considered himself an "Orthodox Marxist" however, he furthered the theory adding his own ideas of an international permanent revolution which is more expansive and ambitious than those Marx and Engels wrote about. Someone who follows this specific, evolved form of Marxism is therefore called a Trotskyist.
I'm trying to make this as easy to follow as possible because, branding Hitchens or anyone who finds value in Trotskyism/Maoism (I mention Maoism just as another example of evolved Marxism) a Marxist is actually rather intellectually dishonest.
TlDR: Evolved theories.
Tommy D mr. Hitchens was not a believer but he was a very well-educated man and I believe Fair man which put some far apart the most intellectuals and I say that as a Conservative Christian man
+ZOMBIELANDakaUSA "He held different beliefs than me, therefore I should ignore any good arguments he makes!"
That sentence is more than enough for anyone to stop listening to anything *you* have to say.
Tommy D I agree with most of his interviewers but Charlie Rose is a very intelligent person as well .
I am amazed at how knowledgeable Hitchens was. The man was a beacon of knowledge, and it's really humbling actually. Agree with him or not, but you can't deny his towering intellect. Also, an outstanding speaker/orator. What a pleasure to listem to him!
I'm reading one of his books atm. He is awesome in the original meaning of the word.
How could it not be knowledgeable that's all hes ever done and studied...
@@michaelgibbons6273 That doesn't mean anything. People can study all their lives and still come out the other end stupid as ever, and not a bit wiser. The man had an exceptional intellect.

No, including Lennox.
MetrazolElectricity
Sure it was, because there are so many Christians who saw it as their duty to see it... also a massive gore fest, as I understand. And there is no way that Hitch would enjoy hanging out with Mel.
MetrazolElectricity
They would not get along. Gibson hates homosexuals and Hitch had many friends who were homosexual. Watch his debates where he confronts Catholic representatives while his friend Stephen Fry looks on. You are wrong.
BTW, you do realize that there are Christians around the world? (As is typical it is a waste of time trying to discuss.)
drstrangelove09 On almost anything except the Iraq war on which he was 100% wrong and too arrogant to ever admit he was wrong
Ken Ham, J. Warner Wallace, Peter Kreeft, Norman Geisler, Robert Barron, Scott Hahn, John Lennox, Lee Strobel, Francis Collins, Alvin Plantinga, Hugh Ross, John G.
The truth hurts. Wrong blood sacrifice is individual even worse in groups. Only one savior's blood can purify.
Brilliant last line! Laughed out loud. Wasn't Hitch just something else? How we could do with him now, in all his glory.
Oriental Imp you worship this Jew?
si He's clearly an atheist
For being an atheist he sure likes to defend Jews.
Kailo Katsumoto Yea... So what? Atheists are usualy against anti-semitism you know. Why would he be any different?
He’s in hell rn
Oh, Christopher, I'm so glad you were with us for a while.
He was irreligious so his opinions were biased.
@@rcola6235
Think before posting foolish comments. Everyone’s opinions are biased. That’s why they’re called “opinions” and not facts.
But Hitchens was able to support his opinions with coherent arguments, examples and his exceptional eloquence.
Does anyone know about the German nun he is talking about in the beginning? I've been trying to read about her but can't find anything. What is the name? Ann Kathrin Amreich??
bit late, but its spelled Ann Catherine Emmerich. I too was curious and am studying her just now. did you ever dive into it and find out if true what is stated in this video?
My grandmother's church members forced her to go see Passion and then she stopped going to church.
That's too bad. It's a powerful movie and story
@@shane727 It's a slasher movie.
@@VLind-uk6mbIt’s a true depiction of what happened. Maybe you’re sensitive?
@@Betty-wt3sw If you do a film about the Holocaust you do not show 6,000,000 deaths. If you do a story about one victim you do not show every single piece of the torture. Gibson exulted in making it as violent as he could. I can understand that he was trying to make the point as to what Christ endured for the sins of the world, but I found it consistent with his proclivity to making films as violent as possible. I am certainly too sensitive for his aesthetic, and as a former graduate student of drama I have learned that suggested violence can be much more affecting than gruesome depiction.
Same story here, except it was Transformer: Dark Side of the Moon they made me go and see.
The world's average IQ dropped about 15 points when C Hitchens died. He was that freakin' smart.
Speak for yourself; mine went up a notch if that's possible :)
C Hitchens was smart but not wise at all. That's why he's probably in Hell right now.
smackedinthejaw that's a bold claim for a very overrated man.
Kailo Katsumoto Do you even listen to him when he speaks? There is no hell. If there was, I'd rather be there and not in heaven so I can grovel and pray and worship a cruel "god" for eternity.
He was very intelligent, and like such folks he too often let his I.Q. make him think he had proven something, e.g. the non-existence of God, when he only BELIEVED the same. Atheism was his religion or faith, which I find funny.
Christopher later died with throat cancer
by later you mean 7 years later? Also he died from pneumonia as a result of from oesophageal cancer.
@@mrswagboss Indeed
but he always had intellectual throat cancer anyways
Did God give him cancer to kill him? If so, god's an evil old bastard who i don't want to worship.
I like how the comments have been getting more based over the years.
By that you mean what? Everyone is waking up to the juice lies?
How are you using the word, "based"? Do you mean "biased", or something else? Just asking as this isn't the first time I've seen someone using "based" outside of its standard usage.
Yeah, Hitchen was really being asinine. Trying to frame the movie as fascistic, claiming its sadistic(it shows the passion of christ so duh) and etc. Its more of an hit at Mel due to him being religious.
He frames it like rejecting the second vatican council is a bad thing.
Your comment is something Hutton Gibson might have said,. Obviously anyone with sedevacantistic leanings would lap up this film.and would be a lost cause to Hitchen's petition. His argument is this film is pitched at ultraconservative, fundamentalist Christians. If you are an ultraconservative, fundamentalist Christian, he therefore is not talking to you.
LOL I don't think I've heard hitch lose an argument when he knows his shit he really knows his shit
conor smith oprah

Hitch knows then what the Talmud says on Jesus ? Tens of references on a "man who didn't exist" ?
Hate to say it, but the white nationalist John Metzger did give him a run for his money on the early 90s
He lost against george Galloway on the Iraq war
What a brilliant man. I saw the film for the first time only a year ago and it was clearly what he described.
In what way? Qualify that because the film follows quite closely the Gospels, with emphasis on the Crucification.
@@andrewjankowski9650are you apart of the cult?
I love him so much. The words just flow so naturally in such a sophisticated yet easily accessible way.
I loved Hitch and especially his humour but he had an infuriating habit of interruping other people and even raising his voice and repeating his own words over and over until they gave way to him.
if you think having a British accent and using big words makes you "sophisticated", you have a very low IQ. All Hitchens did was call Gibson an antisemite who's having a failed attempt at fascism. There is NOTHING "sophisticated" there...
RIP Christopher Hitchens. He died five years ago today.
Tristan Friederich : if he was here he would spit in your face for saying rest in peace Christopher Hitchens.
Since when was Hell a place of rest?
I wonder if he found out that Jesus was a myth? What about if he was wrong?
Kailo Katsumoto that's mean and your God wouldn't appreciate you saying that.
If this devil is dead, really dead dead... this one's for him. Revelations 20:10 .... hell be with him and all the false prophets, and their tongues will burn forever day and night!!!!!! GOOD FOR THIS F#CKER

@@Calciu_83 I liked the movie. It was pretty powerful when I first seen it; and I didn't expect it to be that way. I liked Apocalypto too. And I liked Lethal Weapon.. I've always liked Mel Gibson.
@@calholli No, his point was that no copies were released to the press for preview reviews. It was selectively focus-grouped with some church groups, and it would have been from such a group that pirates were available.
1:32 "...because its FASISCHTICK!" Yeah, its a Fasi Shtick alright :D
Hitch was mistaken. Fascism is about authoritarianism. What he probably meant was, anti-semitism. There have been plenty of fascists who are not murdering Jews.
Even so, I doubt he made his case against Gibson. Mel just tried to tell on the big screen the familiar story the way it has been well known for 2,000 years. I don't disagree with his overall findings about religion, but here Hitch over-states his case.
OY VEY IT'S THE ONE AND ONLY LEVI SKLADBY!
Out of curiosity who makes you coom harder, Chris Hitchens or Pinkie Pie? Hilarious coincidence that half the e-atheist Hitchens fans commenting here are turbo virgin Bronies too.
Charlie Rose just never knew what to do with Hitchens. In fact no one did lol.
Because he would never talk to a good pastor or a well grounded Christian, he only talked to wackos. Then you fools would think he’s so smart. He never ever talked with the likes of Billy Graham or any other good preachers. There was a reason, fools.
@@FlixMaker64 yea Hitchens kinda needed someone with a degree of education to get past his opening remarks. Most pastors are self proclaimed and friend affirmed riding on some charismatic psychosis. Word pastor or preacher in your terms has no real meaning.
You should check out his debates with William Lane Craig, numerous rabbis, and among my favorites his argument with the Archbishop Diocese.
You seriously sound like someone who has never examined the opposing arguments to your beliefs. So your ignorance is hopefully more bliss and less folly. Cheers.
@@UroborosX1 you show your ignorance like most, I have studied several of those who thought they were smart as you pretend too. And I know a few educated “pastors” that would have eaten Hitchens and you for lunch. Again, Hitchens never debated a good “Christian Pastor!” He always debated the feeble minded priests and other cult wackos.
@@FlixMaker64 what have you studied? Who do you know? Sound like lonely delusions of grandeur sadly. For starters William Lane Craig holds several doctorate degrees and is among the worlds foremost theology professor apologists. He is among countless Hitchens debated successfully. Sounds like you don't even know who he is. Go back to your prayer closet with your personal prayer language and keep wishing upon a star my boy Pinocchio.
@@UroborosX1 you silly silly boy, I know who William Lane Craig is and he is one of the wackos I was referring to. He is a professor at Houston Baptist University and I have seen him debate. Again, Hitchens and other atheists would never debate well grounded pastors that would shred his claims of no God. I know a pastor personally who would shred any atheist you could produce, I’ve seen him do it. There is nothing to prove to evil people such as yourself that seeks signs that God exists. Matthew 16:4 Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign, but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.” Then Jesus left them and went away. Jesus was far smarter than the “educated man” and always left them embarrassed. He did that to show them that he could really expose them for the frauds they were. You will one day find out and I pray that you find out before it’s too late.
Sounds like the passion got Hitchens in his feels.
How so? His voice didn't change volume or tone just gave some facts and opinion on them...Was spot on with analysis of Mel Gibson's character. Lol who's really in their feels? "Mel Gibson tapes: The complete transcript | Salon.com" www.salon.com/2010/07/16/mel_gibson_tapes_complete_transcript/

Man Mr Hitchens was a brilliant mind and a complete scholar of religion he is sorely missed as a voice of sanity in an insane world.
Mr Hitchens supported the invasion of Iraq. He was a blubbering chickenhawk for the Bush Regime. He sullied his entire career foaming at the mouth like he did.
There was absolutely NOTHING, whatsoever sane or scholarly about Christopher Hitchens. He was just your typical, leftist, communist and Chewish antagonist, who did his best to destroy the western Christian civilization.
Let's take the start of his reply shall we? _"He's a member of a wacko, schismatic sect that rejects the authority of the pope and specifically rejects the findings of the second Vatican council."_ Any true Christian, sees the Vatican and their figurehead, the pope, precisely for what they are - anti Christian in every way possible. The Vatican BOWS to the very same 'council' responsible for the death of Jesus and that really says it all doesn't it? So, he immediately, hits an own goal right off of the bat.
Sadly, I am unable to go into a deep discussion on this because guaranteed, the second I hit 'reply' my comment would be deleted for using certain 'words' that would be caught by CZcams's, censor algorithms.
However, what I will simply say is this; when you get older and wiser through more and more reading do you begin to understand the importance and the significance, of precisely WHY the second Vatican council removed what Hitchen's speaks about. And in doing so, you understand precisely WHOM the Roman Catholic Church really is and all about. It's nothing more than the continuation of the Holy Roman Empire.
He just complained in a verbose manner but to what end? His words were just the random fizzing of worm food. Who cares right?

The budget was $30 million and the revenue was $612.1 million. Boycott failed.
Yeah, and South Park mocked the entire movement in one of the episodes ever, in the "The Passion of the Jew"and it is a religious porn snuff film. I concur. Who gives a shit how much money it made.
Celebrate a failure of reason. Fool
That's def true, boycott failed. Of course it did, there are lots of sheep out there who HAD to go see it, any movie about their imaginary friend brings the $ out. Let's face it, the way Gibson's life of crazy was exposed by his own voice these years later, it becomes laughable to me that such a morally bankrupt nut job is lauded by good Christians. Love it
Mel found his market.There are a lot of fools with bad taste and nothing better to do with their free time than watch his religious wet dreams.
Happily all that money came straight out of the pockets of many misguided and/ or fanatical theists. That’s a result of a sort
Love Hitchens. Miss him.
The title of this video is a lie.
The film was shown a lot in megachurches as well as movie theatres.

Hey I think I hear the mailman!
Go say hi and spark up a conversation!
There are very few left like Christopher, I do like listening to his brother Peter regardless of politics… you know you are listening to someone far more knowledgeable and well read than you are!
He's a liar
Lol far more knowledgeable and well-read than *you*, perhaps. Some of us actually enjoy reading and educating ourselves, you just came here to watch a butthurt britbong leftoid cry about fascism and antisemitism (where of course there are none whatsoever to be found in the Passion of the Christ)--a rather typical and unimaginative move characteristic of British wannabe-intellectuals, used to silence any disagreement when actual sound reasoning simply won't do.
There isn't a public commentator I miss more than Christopher Hitchens.
I listen and read his works regularly still, and our current world is at a destitute point of intellectual draught in a very great way because he is no longer an active participant within it.
Long may more people continue to discover him and learn from his profoundly accurate wisdom.
I read your first sentence and couldn’t agree more. His wit and quick humour was/is extremely rare. His intellect and passion on the subject was original although I believe he spurred on people the like of Harris, Krauss, Dillahunty, Dawkins and my favourite Aussie Peter Singer.

Hitch calling for a boycott? Hmmmmm.
Not really in line with what I've been told about this man. Kind of pathetic, really.
He’s Jewish. Of course he’s against the movie. Plus, if the line is in the bible, why not show it?
@@michaelfern4079 Well, for an avowed "Antitheist" who only discovered late in life that his mother was Jewish, this assertion presents something of a conundrum. It suggests that the power of these "Jewish genes" is more subtle and pervasive than previously imagined by anyone other than ratbag, white supremacist, conspiracy theorists. I mean, he did expend quite a bit of energy expressly condemning all of the Abrahamic religions. My head might explode if I think too hard on this.
After four years, I'm not about to revisit this interview, so am unsure which line in the bible you're referring to. But not to worry. "The bible", as we know it, has a very long history of lines (and very much larger chunks) being inserted and deleted, something well known to scholars of its history. Where else could you find four testimonies of supposed witnesses to someone's entire life, and find huge proportions of three of them to be verbatim copies?
Vitabrick Snailslime ratbag white nationalist conspiracy theory? That’s sounds like a lifetime of propaganda that’s worked very well. It appears you’ve not observed how Jews actually behave and vote as a collective. You also don’t have to rely on that. You just have to read what they think and say of themselves in their own words from their own books. Christopher doesn’t surprise me.
Oh how we miss you, Christopher
Like a hemorrhoid.
What a wonderful gift for words this man had.
That was his only gift. Thought process eluded him with occasional exceptions.
Seemed unbelievably bitter, though.
He's a damn microphone 🎤 hog. Anyone else speaks, and his voice gets louder.
Any idiot can be an atheist, it’s boring and childish.
Hitch who pretends to know the bible as he screws up on it over and over again including what faith means biblically.
--"Faith is the surrender of the mind, it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other animals. It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. ... Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated”-- Christopher Hitchens
Now, look at what biblical faith really means that Hitch the liar didn't even look at:
Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Hitchens always went into evasive word antics to avoid key questions like how we got the creation of the universe.
Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.
Only shallow people follow Hitchens.
I never forgave Gibson for his atrocious abortion of history in Braveheart, and have never seen a film of his since.
So i have never seen the Passion of the Christ. But my researches tell me it was essentially a snuff porn flick.
the only thing Gibson does is gratuitous violence so vile that in this instance the Bible was not enough for him, rather the visions (hallucinations?) of some catholic hysteric, Catherine Emmerich
Ad hominem ; it's like attacking a messenger and not addressing the argument.
I’d say he addresses it defo
@@mareksicinski3726 it what way?
And still people think this guy is some kind of genius--and by "people", I mean bitter, lonely atheists who have never heard someone speak eloquently and with precision before, so when they witness it for the first time from Christopher Hitchens, they act like he's some sort of genius or something.
Hitchens was sober enough for this interview. That’s a miracle in and of itself.
Don’t underestimate a drunk hitch, thats him in his element basically
John Campbell you must not watch hitch often. Christopher was an alcoholic. Maybe its not drunk to him, but he drank all day consistently. Maybe to him, a couple glasses of whiskey and he feels good, but not drunk. Haha he’s been buzzed plenty of times debating.

not many will deny a man named Jesus in that time was crucified. that's not the incredible claim that needs to be proved to believe a religion. it's the magical resurrection, appearances, and assent to heaven claims that need proof before being believed in.
I miss you, Christopher. You are long gone, rotting in the ground. But your words and ideas live on, they flow through me and us like a virus. Your voice is their vehicle, your ideas their engine, and my heart their home. I can't bring you back... but I can take you with me.

@@chazgirl6186 "Jesus is the king of the Jews."
Go to Israel and say that to a Jew's face.
Christianity is a plagiarism of Judaism, and Islam is a poor plagiarism of Christianity. So there they are, the three stooges in the backward fearful illiterate time of ancient Palestine, where it was considered moral to put your sins on an innocent person to be tortured in your place to absolve YOU of YOUR responsibility. Scapegoating. Where the immoral idea, and sickly practice was invented. Yeah, you can have it. Centuries later, when Christianity finally made it to China, the Chinese rejected it immediately, but then again the Chinese were literate...
@@chazgirl6186 Speak for yourself. I have committed no sin. Again, personal responsibility is the basis for morality. You cannot, and in any case it would NOT be a moral proposition, throw your sins on someone else to be tortured. That is IMMORAL. Only YOU can die for your sins if you are guilty of such. You do not get to throw them on a scapegoat. The term scapegoat COMES from ignorant fearful Palestine where the they would pile the sins of the tribe onto a goat which would be driven into the desert to die of thirst. Nobody else can absolve you of your sins, because if you allowed an innocent person to be punished for what YOU did wrong, you would be a liar, a cheater, and a morally bankrupt person. I don't think you really have a solid grasp on what morality and personal responsibility actually is, Chaz. And no China is not, "quickly becoming a christian country". Yes, it is growing more quickly than other religions there. You MUST love someone who you also fear - the essence of the Master/Slave relationship, of abjection. I can't pity you, you have chosen to be a slave all by yourself - prostrated on all fours mewling, begging desperately to god for forgiveness for a crime you weren't even alive to choose to, or not participate in, and didn't even happen. Israel is a Jewish country, and it always will be. They took one look at your, "Messiah", and instantly determined that he wasn't up to snuff. They were around WAAAYY before your religion, and due to the fact that Christianity and Islam are particularly toxic and invasive they may well outlast your religion too.
If Christians were this smart, there would be no Christianity. RIP. What a great mind.
Southpark called it a two hour snuff film.
I'll miss him Christopher rest in peace
Where is he resting in peace?
In a med waste bin.
Salman Ali : rest in peace? I'm surprised he's not coming out of the grave after you is he would hate the idea of life after
Doubtin Thomas : sure it is because he spent his whole life saying that God was non-existent and strangely despite the fact you was non-existent also evil. if that's not a contradiction I don't know what is.
Jim Gallagher ok so, the thought God was not real this is true, but he thought the idea or the notion of God was evil, it's a fairly congruent idea.
Fun fact: the guy playing Jesus in Passion was struck by lightning during filming of the Sermon on the Mount scene. Atheismo certainly has a great sense of humor.
Lol how? If anything it's the opposite. It's more like God is giving him a taste of the suffering Christ experienced on the Cross.
He was also accidentally whipped as the actor carrying out the whipping was meant to whip a post behind the actor playing Jesus but his aim wasn't always as it should have been. He also suffered from migraines from the prostheses he wore. Plus a dislocated shoulder from carrying the cross.
It is never fun if one gets struck by a lightning. Further more, you are implying that him being struck by a lightning implies existence of some god, and if you not, you are a moron.
Caciezel has said he doesn't do scenes with gratuitous sex and "I also don't do gratuitous violence", so we know he must have a sense of humour, or at least sarcasm.
@@rexrathtar3893 But The Passion film is not gratuitous violence.

"This is a simple-minded...falsification, and a fascistic one. And an incitement...to sadomasochism -- in the less attractive sense of that word."

I didn't watch it as I have no interest in the supernatural, I prefer reality. Love me some Hitch!
"For the normative self-understanding of modernity, Christianity has functioned as more than just a precursor or catalyst. Universalistic egalitarianism, from which sprang the ideals of freedom and a collective life in solidarity, the autonomous conduct of life and emancipation, the individual morality of conscience, human rights and democracy, is the direct legacy of the Judaic ethic of justice and the Christian ethic of love. This legacy, substantially unchanged, has been the object of a continual critical reappropriation and reinterpretation. Up to this very day there is no alternative to it. And in light of the current challenges of a post-national constellation, we must draw sustenance now, as in the past, from this substance. Everything else is idle postmodern talk."
