      If you watch every video of Christofer Hitchens and then read the Bible, you’ll come to the same conclusions that he had. But, Church and religion serve a community function for human comfort. Unfortunately, corruption and abuse exists in these organizations. Scandal is genuine occurrence in religion, cultism, and political fascism.

    Hitch, once again, reveals his problem with God. It's the people who say they believe in God. Fair enough. But he shouldn't have let flawed human beings be a determining factor in his view of God. He says he didn't want anyone determining what he thought or wrote, but he certainly was highly influenced in those things by the people he held such disdain for.

    • @judyives1832
      @judyives1832 Год назад

      It’s not only religious PEOPLE who are the problem. The religious messages are horrific. Blood sacrifices, scapegoating, misogyny, racism, slavery, eternal punishment for good people, murdering animals and people with floods, fires and pestilence, murdering babies to make a point, genocide of entire populations including unborn babies, punishment for thought crimes as equal to actions, etc etc etc
      The Bible, Torah and Koran are exactly what they appear to be. Fables from an old, brutal and unethical time. Just like all fairytales. Certainly no moral person could read this books and agree with this. We must rid ourselves of this magical thinking and deal with the world rationally and humanely. The old “carrot and the stick” afterlife employed to threaten people into subservience to a church hierarchy, really needs to end. Magical thinking has to be replaced with common sense, rational thought and evidence based reasoning. That would be the end of cults, conspiracy nonsense, racist beliefs and tv evangelists ripping off senior citizens!

      Actually, it's worse even than that. Jesus is not only depraved fiction, he is plagiarized, depraved fiction, compiled from many discrepant, precursor cults. There is no feature or attribute of Jesus that is original to the bible. Every single characteristic of Jesus you can name is a feature from figures from earlier religions.
