he was a very honest man I just started watching Christopher Hitchens' debates and that guy is someone you can't help but admire I admire Mr. Hitchens because when challenged in debate, he could give forth very cogent reasons and concisely, for making a claim or for having a particular stand. He doesn't twist or mince his words or ramble in on and on, hoping to lose the attention of the audience, or to go around the issues at hand. He addressed questions to him directly, concisely, and unwaveringly so. He never rant on and on, hoping to dodge the question but appear to have answered, appear to have responded adequately, for the sake of mere appearance. Beyond that, he had an admirable ability to draw facts and counter arguments straight up, and he didn't avoid or dodge questions, or change subjects, he spoke frankly and directly, and did not hesitate to question popular yet questionable notions or fallacious arguments. And he was charming and witty, yet also graceful and cool under pressure its a pity cancer had to snatch him away from us RIP bro; enjoy the eternal bliss of beer volcano and stripper factory FSM gave you; you deserve it and more 7 Likes 2 Shares |

SOME QUOTES BY THE AUTHOR OF "GOD IS NOT GREAT" "I suppose that one reason I have always detested religion is its sly tendency to insinuate the idea that the universe is designed with 'you' in mind or, even worse, that there is a divine plan into which one fits whether one knows it or not. This kind of modesty is too arrogant for me." "MT [Mother Teresa] was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty . She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction." "What is it you most dislike? Stupidity, especially in its nastiest forms of racism and superstition." "We keep on being told that religion, whatever its imperfections, at least instills morality. On every side, there is conclusive evidence that the contrary is the case and that faith causes people to be more mean, more selfish, and perhaps above all, more stupid." "To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation— is that good for the world?" " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him will believeth in anything. - Hitchens 3:16" 6 Likes 3 Shares |

He is dead I wish he was right when he said God doesn't exist for his sakes |
Re: Christopher Hitchens by butterflyl1on: 1:32pm On Dec 15, 2017 |
Lucasiangrey: He is dead now and has been for 6 years straight and has long been eaten and digested by worms so much so that even the worms have forgotten they ever ate anyone who tasted like his atheistic rotten corpse and the gospel of Jesus which he aggressively spoke against never stopped growing despite his nonsensical per second agitations against it. Such would be the fate of each and every atheist such as he was. One day the giver of breath shall demand it and this flesh shall drop to the ground and the ground shall claim its own and maggots shall throw a party over its stench and rot but the soul shall depart into eternity which would be rewarded in accordance with it's words, thoughts, actions etc. Good riddance to Christopher hitchens and I will say these same words for Sam Harris, Dawkins and all else like them who feel like they can contend with a God who made them by first claiming He does not exist but still being agnostic to a creator.

Celestial North Korea "Religion is a totalitarian belief. It is the wish to be a slave. It is the desire that there be an unalterable, unchallengeable, tyrannical authority who can convict you of thought crime while you are asleep, who can subject you to total surveillance around the clock every waking and sleeping minute of your life, before you're born and, even worse and where the real fun begins, after you're dead. A celestial North Korea. Who wants this to be true? Who but a slave desires such a ghastly fate? I've been to North Korea. It has a dead man as its president, Kim Jong-Il is only head of the party and head of the army. He's not head of the state. That office belongs to his deceased father, Kim Il-Sung. It's a necrocracy, a thanatocracy. It's one short of a trinity I might add. The son is the reincarnation of the father. It is the most revolting and utter and absolute and heartless tyranny the human species has ever evolved. But at least you can f#$%ing die and leave North Korea!"

I so much admired the way he made arguments and was very concise and straight to the point. One quote from him I love so much is "What is more likely, that the laws of nature was suspended on your behalf and in a way that you approve or that you made a mistake? And worse still, you didn't see it yourself and someone else told you they did"? 1 Like |

He was one of the very first atheist I encountered, I began by hating him because I got to know about him when I was a christian sometime in 2007 the hate later changed to great admiration as my view changed. I liked him and truly respect his views. 3 Likes |

butterflyl1on: which fate?.Religious people don't die?.If they do , they don't get eaten by worms?... Please , humbly and sincerely think about "giver of breath" , how does this make sense as an attribute of a god ?. They are not trying to contend with god (To them , God's existence is very unlikely), they are educating people... 6 Likes |

Lucasiangrey: Educating people indeed Ask an atheist if God exists he will say I DONT KNOW but ask if Yahweh exists he will say an emphatic NO. Bunch of confused loonies. They should first of all possess infinite knowledge to know that a being of infinite knowledge does not exist. When they do you can give me a buzz. Person no get sense e dry claim to be Einstein. Mtcheew! Educate fire. |

butterflyl1on: Yahweh like all the Gods that men have created exist ONLY inside the pages of the story books the men have written about him. He can't do anything on his own. There is nothing Yahweh can do on his own ever. It's you the believers that have been indoctrinated in the Yahweh stories that will have to do everything for it. You'll have to spread it's words even though he is alleged to be all powerful and can do all things but some how it can not spread it's words on its own. You'll have to argue with people and claim that Yahweh exist even though he is alleged to ne every where but can not prove it's existence to others, you'll have to even fight people and throw tirades at them when they mock your all powerful Yahweh because it can't do anything by itself even though it is all he'd that he is all powerful. You believe in this all powerful entity that can't do ANYTHING for it self. It has to rely on those that believe and were indoctrinated with its stories to do everything for it. Demonstrate just one thing that Yahweh can do on its own outside the pages of the stories written about it? There is NOTHING it can do on its own. You can only claim it can do things bUT outside your empty claims there is nothing it can ever do because it remains imaginary. Yahweh inspired the scriptures just as Allah sent an angel to recite the Koran to a desert dwelling illiterate. There's nothing new there. . 1 Like |

Re: Christopher Hitchens by dalaman: 12:31am On Dec 16, 2017 |
butterflyl1on: Remember you were the one that happily said those that mock your God deserve tirades thrown at them . Why should you be the one throwing tirades at people that mock a God that is all powerful and can do all things, only a God that lives inside you demented head will depend on a failure like you to throw tirades at people on its behalf. You can now go ahead with your tirades and rants on behalf of your God. |

Re: Christopher Hitchens by butterflyl1on: 1:02am On Dec 16, 2017 |
dalaman: tirade noun a long, angry speech of criticism or accusation Let me show you what a tirade looks like from your own comment. Yahweh like all the Gods that men have created exist ONLY inside the pages of the story books the men have written about him. He can't do anything on his own. There is nothing Yahweh can do on his own ever. It's you the believers that have been indoctrinated in the Yahweh stories that will have to do everything for it.

See ranting and mega tirade o. All over an alleged non existent God

Re: Christopher Hitchens by dalaman: 1:31am On Dec 16, 2017 |
butterflyl1on: Everything I've stated about Yahweh are facts. Show me what Yahweh has do on it's own (with evidence ) without human input. It can not even tell it's stories, it had to rely on humans to do it for him. |

Re: Christopher Hitchens by danvon(m): 1:42am On Dec 16, 2017 |
Lucasiangrey:I know that God exist for sure that's me personally everyone has a unique view of the world but since I was talking to a so called atheist I had to ask that question |
Re: Christopher Hitchens by dalaman: 1:43am On Dec 16, 2017 |
butterflyl1on: Of couse it doesn't that's why you can't show me anything about it. That you are speaking on it's behalf and defending it is enough evidence that it exist only inside your head . No God that exist will rely on a failure like you to do anything for it talk more of trying to defend it or let others know about its existence. |

Re: Christopher Hitchens by dalaman: 2:13am On Dec 16, 2017 |
butterflyl1on: It's a fact. No God that exist in reality will depend on a failure like you to do anything for it. You've been trying to serve as your God's mouth piece only because it exist in your head and no where else. |
