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.

@@berniefynn6623 hahahaha good one..
Such a shame we no longer seem to produce such eliquate speakers from this great Isle anymore! Our media is full of boarish idiots.
John Lennox ! Don't make me laugh.@@berniefynn6623
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.

"An incitement...to sado-masochism, in the less attractive sense of that word."
Bravo, sir 😂
I laughed at that. He truly was great at debating.
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
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.
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?
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
@@tyrobbie4257
I'll take a look
May GOD rest his soul...
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
"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.
I laughed when the mother walks her baby through the crowd and it has Satan's face 😂😂😂

"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.
@@anthonyfuqua6988 you've replied to the wrong comment on the wrong video.
@@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.
@@anthonyfuqua6988 LOL, you’re obviously a drunk if you think this idiot was smart. He’s right now wishing he would’ve opened his heart and mind to Christ, just like you will.
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 .
The truth hurts. Wrong blood sacrifice is individual even worse in groups. Only one savior's blood can purify.
The title of this video is a lie.
Just watch Life of Brian instead
Adam Saetveit YES!
As dumb as the original Adam, aren't you?
Ironic as life of Brian had to remove all the perceived "antisemitic scenes & characters". Google "Otto the Zionist".
correct.
Jehovah!
His masters were happy i guess.
A little pat in the back and massive promotion for his ridiculous book followed,
i wonder if he was given a "chosen candy" as a real fantastic reward...
huh?
Triggered much?
true
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.
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
after some time ive come to notice that twinkle in hichens eye right before the opposition stops talking and he goes on.. lol
Every time a Christian pauses an atheist angel gets its wings.
Hitch is salty because he takes it personally as a Jewish person, unhapy about New Testament being apparently antisemitic (which is in fact anti-racist since the Judaism is a form of racism towards gentiles) but fails to mention the hate that the Talmud is fulll of.
@@whoknows1570

@@kathryncarter6143 ok boomer
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.
What a surprise to find a Red Sea pedestrian criticizing a film about the death of Jesus Christ.
LOL quoting Python bafflingly eh.

@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?
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.
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.
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.
LOL I don't think I've heard hitch lose an argument when he knows his shit he really knows his shit

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
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.

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?

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 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
He assured many rabbis
I'm sure he was Rabid
The film was shown a lot in megachurches as well as movie theatres.
Which rather goes to illustrate both the cynicism of megachurches and the credulity of oddball, evangelical churchgoers.
Hitchens could really tear a person up.
Alas, I was hoping you were mistaken and otherwise meant "John Lennon". I will begrudgingly watch the Hitchens-Lennox debate now.

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

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.

Irony after irony in these comments.

@@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.
This title is gross.
Christopher wouldn't have agreed with it.
Gibson's career is well alive
true
Lmao did that man call Passion of the Christ a fascist movie ? How'd that work out for him. Hitchens is dead , Christ is King
Haven't watched the film,so won't be able to comment much on that..but what point are u jesus 🧟♀️ trying to make by pointing about his death..? He is dead,just like all of your maternal/paternal great grandparents & how u alongside the rest of ur relatives will die 1 day..its an inevitable part of natural life in our planet..how does that take away merit from his arguments..?
If they said it (according to scripture) then why remove it?
Appeasement.

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.
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.
"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."

The crucifixion of Jesus was at Passover, has nothing to do with antiSemiticism
@@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.
Lmao so Hitch just told me that Mel Gibson and his father are based as fuck
I didn't watch it as I have no interest in the supernatural, I prefer reality. Love me some Hitch!
did the interviewer say ''fasishtic''? it sounds even worse haha
It was a super successful film!
So was deep throat an extremely successful film 😁
so is 'The Kashmir Files', what's your point?
@@benaffleckisanokayactor I think his point is quite obvious, but I suspect you already know that but would rather just reply with some veiled insult.
Mel Gibson''s Passion of the Christ made many cry and it should it was a bit tough but then Yahweh's love letter bible left for us to read and understand word by word verse by verse teaches us rules of good love and tough love. Also cry when all babies under two were murdered by Romans etc. looking already for our King of Kings Yeshua Christ to kill our creator made flesh.
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
This is in response to Mr fawaza Ali who said it was a very successful film well my Muslim friend Deep Throat was also a very successful film😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Hitchens got a pirate copy of the movie😂😂 wow
Did I hear it correctly? The atheist Hitchens passing judgement on the religion of Mel Gibson and NOT only that but supporting traditional catholic religion? What a joy to watch so much contradiction in just one person LOL. Hitchens is just a polemicist, listen to him with caution and check his “facts”.
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 RUclips'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?

That's the only appeal to this guy. Atheists are very easily seduced, hypnotized even, by sophistry and glittery verbiage, so you can basically find an articulate way of saying "the sky is purple, also Mel Gibson bad" and atheists won't be able to give you their money fast enough.

I'm Jewish. I speak Hebrew fluently and can understand about 50% of the film without subtitles, hence Hebrew's likeness to Aramaic. The funny thing is the actor who plays Jesus speaks with an extremely noticeable American accent, and pronounces a lot of things incorrectly. If not for the pornographic violence and antisemitic tropes, it would be an amazing film. I really wish more films were made in their original language. Thank you Christopher.
Pornographic violence? It is ACTUALLY what happened to Jesus. ✝️ May Jesus bless you with the grace to remove the veil that has blinded you all these years and may the Holy Spirit help you to see and understand the TRUTH. ♥️
109 recorded expulsions for absolutely no reason whatsoever...
@@micheal0811 The reason was superstitious religious insanity on part of the tyrannical Catholic Church.
Considering the last time Jews were expelled from a western country, the majority of the world didn't know gravity existed and believed the world was flat, it isn't saying much. Might as well go ahead and say "Jews deserve to be persecuted because they were persecuted."
Maybe you'd be happier living a thousand years ago.
Jesus is a jew. Anyone who mocks jesus interpretation is being anti-semitic themselves ironically. How is questioning an interpretation anti-semetic when jews questioned daniel?
Have you studied the psalms? The jews re interpretated the MEANING of ‘King’. So one generation understood king as --, the next stage reimagined King as --. My point is that the point of each crossover, there would have been resistance by jews as what the psalmists were doing. They would be just as reactive as saul of tarsus was with the christians. Jews have ALWAYS argued about the way things are interpreted. Your example of daniel. Many jews do not believe daniel is prophetic perhaps due to the association of jesus as ‘son ofman’. Goldinggay a OT scholar says that thebook of daniel was only considered authentic after an event that made jews thinks that daniel could be right. I have a video of it on my christian playlist on RUclips. @@wiard
I miss Christopher and his Hitch slaps. I wonder what his thoughts would be on America's move towards fascism.
Hitchens had a hand in that, given how obsessed he was with "Clinton corruption" since the 90s (long before Trump and QAnon).

I think he found purpose in shooting down bullshit wherever he could find it. Unfortunately, Christianity's take on the age old god myths is so pervasive that it was the most obvious thing to rail against in his later years.
Kinda ridiculous that this film is just available to watch but Ken Russell's The Devils Uncut version has not been released since its original viewing........
