      there are quite a few out there that still believe this, despite any proof shown to them. it's really very odd....how humans can cling to a false fact ....and actively plug their ears and yell :LA LA LA LA: i believe so should you! if you don't believe what i believe, you're going to hell for eternity. . . . so while they take your money and diddle your children in the vestry, you go right on believing the church is a force for good...ok you can do that, but stop trying to make other people believe it too...

      To be fair to him, there are no real punishments for believing in a flat earth. You might be banished from social groups and people might look at you funny, but no one dies from that belief. And, the internet has made it much worse by allowing for group think without being challenged.

    Hitchens is like a boxer who is able to spare with any wild opponent who throws random punches at him. Then, at some point during his uninterrupted time, he delivers knockout blows of Truth that only apologists can respond to when attacking the argument, not him. Most people attack him, I've noticed, because they are unable to spare with his arguments.

      Benson -
      Please do remember that religion, like politics, is based exclusively on what you WANT to believe. No one wants to spar with Hitchens because that would entail the objector having to present physical evidence to support his/her claim. It is why religious people hate science - it will not say what they want to hear.

      @@mikeoxlong2144 I did not say that it does but I can prove that God exists. First of all does thought exist, yes it does. But only in one's mind. So if one thinks of God He exists correct? The argument now would be but just in one's mind but whales exist just in the ocean and the moon exists only in outer space and fish exist but only in water and stars exist, again, only in space and Hollywood. But the original question was not where but does God exist and the answer is yes. So now all you atheists can no longer say that God does not exist, because then you would have to say that thought does not exist and it does. Sorry.

      He argued with fact-based arguments! Theists created their 'facts' and then do not test them against any factual rigour, theirs is a belief system that has many agendas. I will not be a sheep to it!

    • @bensonbrett30
      @bensonbrett30 7 месяцев назад

      Do you realize that the burden of proof in the entire debate of religion lies with the theist? It is the same for the majority of claim-making scenarios: the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. And thus, no factual, unbiased, research based, observable, repeatable evidence exists for the proposition of a deity.
      That is NOT to say one cannot or does not exist. Hitchens repeated this several times throughout debates that many atheists simply state that no viable, real evidence exists for a deity's existence.
