Hitchens is my God. I pray to Hitchens and worship him. And as opposed to Jehova, Hitchens is real

This is one of my favorite Hitch clips. I've actually quoted him out of this speech, he's so damn quotable you can't help but remember these things when the topic comes up. Love it, thanks for posting!

Agreed.

You don't need to capitalize the A in atheism.

DaveODrisc (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Oh and although their respective styles differ both Dawkins and Hitch are equal in the fact that they preach unambiguous facts when it comes to religion! like I(strongly) implied before,if anybody wants to delude themselves with religion then they are quite simply idiots! Science IS(the closest thing you'll ever see to)GOD!

Fuck off!!!! You do NOT need to talk anybody into Atheism! A persons common sense leads the way! If you are so weak of mind that you need your thoughts to be led,then you will be ultimately imprisoned by your own ignorance! My point is that if they need convincing that truth is truth they are idiots and are fucked in the head to begin with!

First point true, second one, untrue. He and Dawkins both helped guide me into Atheism.

Any being that is pleased/angered by human actions is not "capital G" God. The former is fickle and influenced by our actions, like an overlord unhappy with his slaves. The big guy is eternal, unchanging, the archetype from which we spring. The first one sounds like the demiurge, a creature who REcreates in mockery. The early christian communities, those most likely to live like christ, were ascetics NOTHING like the vain distortion of christianity that is the modern church

He's twice the debater Dawkins will ever be. He's cooler to watch, but he'll never convince a person considering atheism to become an atheist, because he's so abrasive.
