Absolutely! Without any exaggeration to convince, I have probably watched this presentation 20 times, and every single one of his books is on my bookshelf. With the exception of my father, I miss this man more than any other in history. I was always worried about his drinking and smoking, and would possibly have given a couple of my own years to add to his life. PS: now off to the bookshelf to read God is not great, again, for the third time.
Seriously, me too. I miss him so much more than 99.9% of the recently departed. In my opinion he was probably the greatest man of the century, and a bit beyond.
Host : but Sir, we're playing a little fantasy game. CH : I understand perfectly, I'm not as slow on the uptake as you seem to propose, how many times do I have to tell you. I make the assumption along with you and I give you my response to it... Me : classic hitchslap 😂😂😂😂
14:05 “You just want to live your own autonomous way, living any way that you want to, any lifestyle you prefer…” The interviewer didn’t even realize he just made the case against his own worldview.
I can live in anyway i want and just have to hold myself accountable to my fellow brothers and sisters and not to a capricious and petty divine Big Brother? That sounds terrible!
The whole interview summed up: “Imagine if my authoritarian religion were true. Wouldn’t that be awesome?” “No.” “Aren’t you guilty before God?” “No because there isn’t one.” “You just want to live your own way outside the confines of my authoritarian religion.” “Yup.”
Yes. I think the implication he was trying to make was Christopher must reject religion because he is living in immoral ways in hi private life that he doesn't want to be held accountable for. A childlike point lol
Then proceeds to blatantly deny the fact the Bible does in fact call for slavery and genocide lmao. Either in denial about his beliefs or hasn’t read them too intently lol. 😂
Imagine being this guy - right before the show probably thinking "I'm going to get this guy, I'm the one guy who can make him understand the majesty of God and Christ - I'm the guy to do it!!"... Then Hitchens turns up and pisses all over his rug. 🤣😂 I wonder at what point in the interview he realised his plan had completely backfired, and he was made to look a bit of a tit. Probably never, tbh.
The game should be called ... "how to push an agenda and come off looking like a jerk" Christopher is missed but not forgotten ... and through these videos will live on to continue to cast light on the sinister concepts held by so many.
“There’s no prohibition of child abuse, any more than there is any prohibition of slavery or genocide in the Ten Commandments. Um, so I don’t care about those either particularly…” “HaVE yOu mAde Any GraVen ImagES…?” The stark contrast of intellect here never fails to be hilarious to me.
@@isaacwilson7769 Did Jesus have a dog? No? Well he must've been one of those gays 🙃 PS: I wonder if his disciples were moths PPS: Hitch and Norm, two of my favourite people of all time, snatched away far too early.
Ths guy tipped his hand way too early. This isn't a friendly mind game, this is just a thinly veiled grievance match that hes taking out on hitchens and hitchens is having absolutely none of it LOL
I find it very amusing that Todd is all the time like "what if i am right" and not accepting any answer besides total submission and glorification from CH which of couse wouldn't happen lol
This whole “he sacrificed his life for you” is bullcrap anyway. Jesus didn’t sacrifice anything. He didn’t even die. The whole thing that makes sacrificing one’s life such an amazing act is the permanence of death. Jesus woke up a few days later as a god. There’s nothing amazing about that. I dare say that it’s a decision any of us would make. “Hey, you’re gonna get whipped and crucified, and it’s gonna be extremely painful, but you’ll save the life of everyone on the planet, and you’ll wake up in a few days as Superman.” I’m in. Easy.
Hitchens: “…I know the Bible does call for slavery as it calls for genocide, but that doesn’t make it right.” Friel: “Yeah well, it doesn’t, but we’re playing WHAT IF…” 🤦♂️
So this interviewer believes in slavery, because you are owned as an individual, and then he questions the tenet that 'religion poisons everything'. QED.
The radio presenter's utter dumbfoundedness at the idea anyone wouldn't worship God, consider God good or wouldn't consider Jesus's 'sacrafice' an "act of kindness" is baffling. How detached from reality is this guy? With that logic, you're parents are the ones who should own you as a slave, given they made you and raised you.
Hey thinks he got a slam dunk by saying that Hitchens only believes what he believes because it's enjoyable. Basically a dumb way to try to attack the character of the person you're speaking with rather than what they're saying.
I believe in God, albeit a different version than of that which they’re speaking, and I still go with Hitch on this one, every time, as much as he’d have tons of worthy arguments against me. So sad he’s gone.
"And _he_ took the punishment you deserved for breaking God's moral laws" Well then. What was all that guff, immediately before, playing the 'will Hitchens be found to be naughty and sent to hell' game.. The one where God judges him by by his adherence to the commandments, and punishes him when it turns out he just murdered all kinds of mofos in his heart.. Did Jesus sacrifice himself to cover everyone, or not? Because I'm pretty confident that our professional BSer for Jesus claims those commandments to be some amazeballs revelation of moral guidelines that all of modern society everywhere has built their moral rules on, and he just claimed that Jesus is THE fkn man for paying our bill for every single moral-rule break meal we've enjoyed while visiting the restaurant of life.
Second hand cringe. Host keeps repeating “what if” as if that needs any further clarification. Hitchens responds in an intelligent, detailed manner - host just needs whacky bells and horns to honk every so often
What If...TheFastest growing game ???...😂😂😂 It imploded like a Cheap Submersible in the North Atlantic On the First Sentence... What if...you hadn't made such a fool of yourself..😂😂😂 And it's here forever.
Friel: So ownership is a bad thing?
Hitchens: Of people, yes.
That could not have been more perfect.
I listen to this at least once a year.
truuueeee. this is gold. always makes me laugh. and the pictures are sooo apt, the sheepish smiling christian and grumpy Hitch😆

“None of your fucking business” 🤣🤣🤣 I miss the hitch

"No it sounds like saint Paul"

""I'm glad you think it's a game by the way. I rather agree with you.""
Goddammit I miss this man.
How arrogant can you be, to believe, that you will trick someone like Hitchens with such simple Gotcha questions?
Hitch: “now available in fine book stores everywhere”
Host: “mmmm hmmmm”
He never missed a chance to say that. XD

If christians come to christ at the end, they can do what ever they want. Load of BS

Oh, okay.
I know, the interviewer basically reveals he believes in the ownership of people = slavery. What a thing to let slip live on air.
they seemed either surprised or thought it better to keep tap dancing
🤣Precisely my thoughts
Then proceeds to blatantly deny the fact the Bible does in fact call for slavery and genocide lmao. Either in denial about his beliefs or hasn’t read them too intently lol. 😂
This is like Kim Kardashian trying to convince Albert Einstein that the theory of relativity is false
lol 😂
AHAHAHA THANK YOU
Todd Friel thinks he has gotcha questions. Hitchens thinks he has the intellect of a child.
Hitchens is correct.
Friel sounds like a snake oil salesman.
He sounds easily punchable.
Christopher Hitchens sounds smarter the older I get. He has a razor sharp wit and the intelligence of a genius 👍
Imagine being this guy - right before the show probably thinking "I'm going to get this guy, I'm the one guy who can make him understand the majesty of God and Christ - I'm the guy to do it!!"... Then Hitchens turns up and pisses all over his rug. 🤣😂

haha miss this beautiful man. thankful for the treasure trove of moments he left us
Christopher Hitchens won this.
fucking miss this man
What about ai Hitchens?
Outsmarted and outclassed in a unprecedented way, embarrassing for the host whoever he is
Last I heard he was living on a beach in Thailand with a 12 year old boy
somehow not surprised
"So I'm not sure you know quite what
you're talking about."
Host: What if...
Hitch: It's a tyrannical act...
That line never fails to get me!
He couldn't even get the book title correct 😂
That interviewer sounded like an admirer of Stalin, only replace Stalin with god.
A true intellect being interviewed by the intellect of a shoe.
Ha-ha-ha! Very true,
“It’s called Easter, been celebrated for a couple thousand years…”
“To no effect.”
😂
Radio guy should really find another career after this episode
Friel isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Hitchens mopped the floor with this nitwit.
Hitchens did not make a fool of Todd "Wretched" Friel
Todd did that to himself
he does that every time he opens his mouth
Did he say that the radio station is called "wretched radio"? 😂
I couldn't have named it better, myself.
The game should be called ...
"how to push an agenda and come off looking like a jerk"
Christopher is missed but not forgotten ... and through these videos will live on to continue to cast light on the sinister concepts held by so many.
hitchens got whipped didnt he.
@@thesongtowoody lol
@@magish7713 right? hitchens never saw it coming.
@@thesongtowoodyNo. You listened to the video?

Host: Does that sound like you sir?
CH: No it sounds like St Paul.
Classic Hitch. Love it. 😂😂😂😂
Hitch is an amazing intellectual. God bless you and RIP.
"God bless you" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Allah ?..Zeus..?...Kim jong Un ?
Hitch comeback on the ownership argument with the slavery bible reference… holy shit I was howling 😂
Classic legendary Hitchslap 🙌👌👏
A truly loving and just God would allow Hitchens to live as long as characters in Genesis
I almost feel sorry for the interviewer. Total mismatch. He got out gunned and out manoeuvered by Hitch in a big way 🤣
Totally blown out of the water. This twit had no idea who he was dealing with.
It is clear that this host's IQ is at least 50 points of his guest.
"I'm not as slow on the uptake as you seem to infer"
So many mic drops on this.
He's running the same game as Ray Comfort. Very amusing and Hitchens won't play the game as he would like.
If the phrase "moping the floor with someone" was an actual video, it would be this one
I miss the mighty Hitchens
Never before has such a combination of hubris and intellectual ownage been assembled into one person
Made me laugh out loud!
Legendary beat down. Good grief
Christopher Hitchens - Miss you so much.
This is also one of my favorite exchanges.
Christopher Hitches was above this radio show. Jesus!!!!!
Another famous " Hitchens Slap".
Does that sound like you? No it sounds like St Paul 😂
Ths guy tipped his hand way too early. This isn't a friendly mind game, this is just a thinly veiled grievance match that hes taking out on hitchens and hitchens is having absolutely none of it LOL
I hate how he condescends to Hitchens
Nah! He is unknowingly providing ammunition for Christopher 🤡🇬🇧
He thinks he is condescending. But he gets owned. This guy is a twit.
The nature of religion has the idea of submission and subjugation. The audio of discussion proves it clearly.
Hitchens made great work.
This is so funny! 😆
The smoke of his torment shall go up forever and ever.
"but we're playing what if sir"
*Hitchens asks a what if question*
"um lets move on"
Tom Fried, what if you wife is in a list of chattels and is auctioned off. Just asking What if ...
Wretched Radio.
Seems a fitting name
I find it very amusing that Todd is all the time like "what if i am right" and not accepting any answer besides total submission and glorification from CH which of couse wouldn't happen lol
Based on how the conversation went if I was Todd I would not have asked that last question lol
Child abuse is justified according to this interviewer.
Edit. Spelling
This whole “he sacrificed his life for you” is bullcrap anyway. Jesus didn’t sacrifice anything. He didn’t even die. The whole thing that makes sacrificing one’s life such an amazing act is the permanence of death. Jesus woke up a few days later as a god. There’s nothing amazing about that. I dare say that it’s a decision any of us would make.
“Hey, you’re gonna get whipped and crucified, and it’s gonna be extremely painful, but you’ll save the life of everyone on the planet, and you’ll wake up in a few days as Superman.”
I’m in. Easy.
Exactly. I have to be crucifed but I get to be GOD afterwards?
Sign me up
Even the way Hitchens says No is funny
Hitch was the best of what people could be. One of the true untouchables of the last century, never be another quite like that,...
Just to remind you all, they were playing a game.
"It's only with gentle Jesus meek and mild that the idea of eternal torture for minor transgressions is introduced"
Did this guy think he was going to trick Hitchens? He should of probably read the book and saved himself some time. Hitchens strikes again.
I would have admitted that " I am committing murder of the soul at this moment as we speak". ( as we speak.. very Hitchy)
The interviewer is frustrating, not even remotely listening nor responding beyond saying "it's just a what if".
The interlocutor sounds like a rogue AI entity.
9:01 😂😂😂😂
Trivial asinine smugness versus deeply thought out arguments. Mmmmm...which is which?
Hilarious! Who is this sanctimonious host who purports to be religious yet is outgunned by Hitch on his knowledge of the Bible?
"You may take the bible seriously for all i know" Priceless!
Todd represents everything that I hate about Christianity.
This makes me wish that there is somthing after death
Makes me wish that one day we can hear the voice of hitchslap talking one more time
Ai Christopher hitchens?
Notice that he interrupts Christopher way more often
You can hear his teeth gritting harder and harder as it goes on. The Kim Jong Il answer is perfect.
in the beginning - "oh this is going to be a bust" ... he wasn't wrong. He knew it.
Hitchens: “…I know the Bible does call for slavery as it calls for genocide, but that doesn’t make it right.”
Friel: “Yeah well, it doesn’t, but we’re playing WHAT IF…”
🤦♂️
If he ran you through the ten commandments, how do you think you would stand up? Better than he did.
Better than God would have

In order to impress a girl in a bar you challenge an old guy to an arm wrestle. He breaks your arm.
The arrogance and rudeness of the Christian defies belief..
Genuine question: what is that thing about Charles Spurgeon at the end, in other words, what win is the presenter thinking he's achieved there?
Hey thinks he got a slam dunk by saying that Hitchens only believes what he believes because it's enjoyable. Basically a dumb way to try to attack the character of the person you're speaking with rather than what they're saying.

Plus Sunday is not the Sabbath so everyone that goes to church on Sunday is worshiping the sun god
How does this guy have a job? He doesn't listen to his own geust..

8 of the 10 commandments are not even moral positions. The remaining two are obvious to quite literally everyone.
Hilarious
And yet sad. Todd F. is dishonestly saying that 'he' is not living the life he has and want
I almost can’t believe the radio host is candid in his ten commandment inquiry and responses to Hitch. It seems like a bit.
@Doge Gamer The irony 😂 ...
