It's got "Hitchslap" in the title, of course it's gonna get a lot of views!
@mike casanave
I can't prove it, it is just through personal experience. For example many of them still go along with his hideous views on the Iraq War, and considering what an unmitigated disaster that was that takes a special kind of stupid.
The Godslap is Hitchens the Jesus hater is dead!!!!!
When Christopher Hitchens was on his deathbed, he called for a priest .... and then converted him into an atheist.
Duke Emzworth
That was gold 😂
Duke Emzworth you cannot do that to an exorcist priest they are hardcore believers exorcism and possession is so powerful it would be the other way around christopher hitchens might change to a believer if he is attack by the devil himself go to amazon in the search box the devil and father amorth in dvd for mat watch the trailer this will be release on amazon on April 24 2018
Marquis de Sade wrote a story with that theme...
Mothman Adonai
It was a joke buddy, as in ha ha.
Wide awake I am just passing the time by watching prank videos those are the best
That slap to the rabbi,over his circumcision joke was nuclear.
cartmanrlsusall It was art in motion!
cartmanrlsusall
: The rabbi is clearly not used to having his words and actions questioned let alone condemned. Well done Mr Hitchens - you shut him up good!
i laughed but im still glad my mom got me snipped
@Anomalia Bohemian He should be ashamed for the reasons this genius (Hitchens) explained - laughing about cutting the tip of a baby's dick off? And clearly the Rabbi had no idea he was going to get slapped down like that - and he absolutely was. Yes, it was wise of him to remain silent - as he knew he'd be absolutely crushed and had no way to defend himself. See once you give up on all these fairy tales you can truly become enlightened. I'll hope you become so one day too.
Yet he was so right. I'd never thought about it in that way, and I'm glad he mentioned it.
“ You give the awful impression of someone who hasn’t read any of the arguments against your position, ever “
Absolutely brilliant
My favorite part for sure.
And to Hannity as well! Perfect 😂😂😂
My response would be "so you cannot believe that from nothing came something, so you come up with the belief that from nothing came god who created something? Why do you need rhat extra step?
And if the answer is "that's not my position" I immediately follow up "so isn't mine! My position is that I don't know due to a lack of evidence"
A***oles like that believe that there are NO valid arguments against their positions, so they don't read them because they don't look for them.
@@NiekNooijens Carl Sagan did it best on the first Cosmos series. To this day I can't believe he managed to get that into a mainstream TV show in the 1970s in the US. Incredible.
That comeback to the rabbi was powerful. Crowd went silent.
As did Mr. Kushner. See a pattern of Hitchin’s statements leaving the targets speechless.
I felt so bad for laughing at the joke
@@LOLLYPOPPE As you should have, recognizing how terrible things are easily normalized is how you break free from brainwashing and indoctrination.
It was poetic and on point. Hitchens was so over and above these people that I almost felt sorry for them, albeit not those that pose a question then immediately shut him down... Hannity was the worst! But these a**holes (yes, that is what they are) will never get it... much like the condom line at around 12:35 with the horrible unfeeling androids in the front row sitting there all incredulous and inhuman. Despicable people.
You know what, guys, if there is a god you will likely be in for a big shock when you pass. They will not take kindly to you having wasted your life in glibly worshipping them, which is usually through the ulterior motive of self-preservation. They will see right through that ruse and punish you accordingly. The universe put you here to experience itself through living your life to the fullest.
The crowd went from cheering and laughing for genital mutilation to realizing they were cheering and laughing for something evil and contemptible in less than 5 minutes.
The Man was savage with his tongue, pen, intellect, research, and his passion. One of the greatest debaters ever. He is sadly missed.
@@lightbeing8174 Because your god wanted to know some shit that only someone as intelligent as Hitchens could explain to his dumbass.
@@lightbeing8174 god CREATED him so that must mean he killed his son.
@@lightbeing8174 "Nah I don't think" describes people like you perfectly.
There is no God, that's the point.
@@lightbeing8174 Jesus christ. I'm no stranger to being called a conspiracy nut, but that video is the worst pile of shit I've ever seen on the topic.
"Alright Chris, let's get your input on the subject."
"Well,"
"And it looks like that's all the time we have for today."
Yeh dude...fuck was that all about
He disliked being called Chris.
@@pfanasia Which is part of the point Red_Doggo was making, I'm sure.
@@anujk2037 It's a narrative trick to use when you have no argument.
@@ashchaya7676 I think it was more about the rush to cut to a commercial break though.
Both fry and hitchens ripped the catholic church to utter ribbons in that seminar, both utterly ruthless yet highly articulate and poetic, impressive to watch.
I've just watched the whole debate & felt glee & delight at the result of the vote.
If only the result of that debate had spread any further than the confines of that hall.
Ayo I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested (read on)
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
God knew we were wack, but He decided He was still come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot.
religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27)
also, we have various types of evidence that backs up the Bible.
Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day.
The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed it and did the math (look it up for more info).
We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other things. Look it up, it’s good stuff
The Holy Spirit exists. I was a slave to s3xual sin for 7-ish d@mn years. Finally at 16, God freed me. Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now.
also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt.
I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night.
There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:
Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion;
Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ Christians, confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command
Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers
Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son)
Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified.
Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers
(See cold-case Christianity for more details)
Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection:
1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (the disciples thought Jesus would never resurrect)
2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs
3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (they didn’t have any help. Everyone said “crucify Him”) major L to those opposed to Jesus
4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone
5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus).
6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback)
faith and reason, people
hit me up to learn more about how science proves the Bible or just about God in general.
Name of debate?
But failed to mention that the contributions of the catholic church to science from the 15th century to 18th century are tooo long to be listed (big bang theory was intially bought forth by none other than a catholic priest). It would be quiet inconvenient. To the simple minded, they make sense, in reality everything hitchens and fry say is cherry picking.
- “Where does EVIL come from?”
- “Religion”
Has to be the best comeback of all time
Man would have been a good answer it's natural to our nature. Non religious people are evil too guys lol as if evil comes from religion you have to be a non thinking butť hurt child to think that
Evil is evil and you honestly know that. Religion holds no monopoly on evil, as humans we have evil and righteous tendencies.
well try living in the Atheist state of North Korea
@@raysalmon6566 they're not atheist Hitchens address this directly look it up
@@Fuck_whoever_took_my_name ok but i believe CH died in his sins
"What an incredibly stupid question."
This needs to be said more often.
Nah, he is simply an asshole. The question was ok and while some strong language is ok in a debate it was uncalled for with this chap who was not given the opportunity to defend his position later.
@@MsJavaWolf when you come to a debate with a question that has an obvious answer, that has been answered over and over again, and that offers nothing to the discussion, it is indeed a stupid question.
@@RamseyRimkeit I don't really agree with that, what would the obvious answer be in this case? He asked about meaning and strictly speaking that is not the same as truth.
Hitchens did not address meaning or truth, he rather defended the constitution, which is important but doesn't answer the question.
I dislike it when people mention the utility of religion, for me it's about truth, if there is no god there is no god. And I dislike that argument even more because some speakers are not really that convinced in the existence of god, when they talk about the benefits of a belief in god rather than god himself all I hear is "yes I dont really believe in it, but thge dirty peasants should believe in it so we have a functioning society"
I don't know who the person asking the question was. Maybe he himself suffered a great loss and his belief in god was the only thing that kept him going. Maybe he was one of those people who use ther idea of god to feel superior to the 95%. In the first case Hitchens should have shown more compassion, in the second case he could have used a different argument, not as flashy, but I think more powerful.
Jeff Baker he replied like a man lol a 15 year old would accept the question with it’s ridiculous assumptions and either say I don’t know or make up some bs, it was a stupid question. Who’s taking anything away from anybody? Stupid ass premise for a question
Ramsey Rimkeit It would’ve been rude if the guy was younger, but that’s a stupid question for a grown man to ask
The rabbi looked like he was about to cry
HarryIII it was a verbal uppercut
not as much as his first hair cut though
Hitch ripped him a new one.
Yeah, he systemically annihilated him.
It looked like his eyes were a bit glistering
'your long, rather unlettered question' is one of my favourites. The way he delivers that line, and the reaction from the TV host is brilliant.
Hannity V Hitchens is always bound to be very much like bug V windscreen😄
Mine too. I wrote it down and I'm keeping it handy for when the time comes.
It's not that difficult to tare down Hanniity and his fellow Nazis at Fox News to be fair.
The reply (when you're not slapping) is 'where did god come from then?'. Did god come from nothing? Watch heads explode... yet this is Phil 101.
There is no way Hannity can deal effectively with the likes of a Christopher Hitchens. Hannity's conservative takes are prepackaged ideas he's absorbed from other sources , while Hitchens has digested his sources and created clear & understandable points of view which he can express logically and without rancor. Hannity simply is not in his league as an intellect.
Hitchens calling out circumcision as genital mutilation shows just how far ahead he was. People performing this barbaric act simply for aesthetic reasons or religious reasons is insane.
Except it's a fact that STI and STD rates are way lower in people who are circumcised.
@@DarthObscurity True, but people without testicles are also 100% less likely to get testicular cancer and pulling out all your teeth with ensure you'll never get another cavity.
The overall medical consensus is with the upsides and downsides of both, there's no clear 'best' option.... there are benefits and drawbacks to both.... but you're cherry picking.
@@DarthObscurity And yet, despite cutting the genitals of boys, every medical organization that has a stance on it still states that condoms and abstinence are the only REAL ways to prevent the spread of STI's and STD's, matter of fact. In fact, if asked about it, the doctors that represent those organizations often don't even mention cutting genitals as an option. I'll state that I suffered it as an infant in the United States and to this day, I still have hatred for the act, and I don't think I'll ever find a way to get that hate to subside, despite many attempts to do so.
i agree with Hitchens all the way, but medical circumcisions are still a very important thing to keep practicing. Let's not demonize circumcision altogehter.
@@DarthObscurity Do you have a dick? It's so easy to wash it. 💁🏽♂️
Some say the Rabi is still sitting there
LOL 🤣🤣
🤣
Laughed so hard at this
You can compete with Hitch on wit competition
Hilarious
Hahaha!
It's been more than nine years now since he died.
I can't express how much I wish he were still alive to help us with this current mess.
Miss you, Hitch.
Me too. Every day.
I keep asking myself what he would say about what's happening, we surely miss his vocal scud missiles to destroy liars, PC and bigots. I miss him a lot. Sad that no one has filled the void he left.
@@stephcorn5567
And I don’t think anyone ever will fill that void.
@walid all this is your own truth, not mine I probably lack your ''god spot'' or was born without. Problems with a lot humans is that they think it all about them. We human on cosmic scale have the same value as a microbe, so lets be humble and don't pretend that you have a glimpse of what the cosmos is really about. All religions were man made. No one knows the meaning of all this. Pretending otherwise is just indoctrination.
ruclips.net/video/HTdGogiN6J8/видео.html
I love how so many people come back to hitchens. He was one of a kind, you are missed Chris.
-topher...
yep, here I am again hahaha
Every once in a while when I’ve been bombarded by stupidity I need a little Hitch to make me feel better
@@DanielMasmanian Yes. There is a clip somewhere where someone refers to him as "Chris" and he is not gentle in his request to be called by his given name. That said, I find it wonderfully ironic that one of the most impactful and well-spoken advocates of freeing the world from the grip of religion, including of course Christianity, was named Christopher...Just shows how imbedded religious poison is throughout all of secular society and how much work to overcome it remains to be done. But I embrace this work willingly and welcome the chance to challenge anyone who demands that faith must be respected.
Always refer to Christopher as Chistopher
Hitchen’s first response regarding Pascal’s wager was exactly what I told my mother when she said it’s safer to think there was a god because there was nothing to lose. Even as I child I told her that I thought any god would rather be benevolent to an honest disbeliever than a phony believer.
Not to mention you have to have the right version of the right god!!! Someone once pointed out have you investigated all the 'hell's' as it would be best to avoid the worst one.
1:25 "What an incredibly stupid question!?!". LOL. I miss his unapologetic candor.
Russell Thorburn the world misses it.
stupid in the meaning of totally obvious
He suggested later on in the debate that he might owe that questioner an apology; conceding that it might not be such a silly question after all.
Hitchens will be remembered for a very long time. I can imagine in the future, he'll be quoted and referred to whenever intelligent conversation about religion begins.
@Christ is kingcool story bro
I am SO glad Hitchens mentioned girls' labias in the circumcision talk. It is an excellent comparison. Much better than the clitoris-comparison. And he's of course right in every sense.
@ Ingrima I totally agree! To compare circumcision to the removal of a woman's clitoris shows a profound ignorance of the human body.
larry smith don’t just say that, explain it
This is where Shapiro falls over. He's so quick to condemn the "genitalmutilationoflittlegirls" but his religion does EXACTLY THAT to boys. He'll cut his son if ever he has one.
@@ashchaya7676 Cutting off female genitalia , is NOT in The Qu'ran. Cutting of female genitalia, is un-Islamic. Cutting off female genitalia , is not Islam.
@@allseeingeyeofgod4777 Why do they do it then?
He was one of the smartest and most beautiful persons I ever had the privilege of listening to. He destroyed religion mercilessly but it always came from a position of genuine concern for humanity
He may be now wishing he could come back and be less arrogant against those who believed in the hereafter. Indeed there is a verse directed at him from 1400 years ago that says the following “Our Lord! We have seen and we have heard: Now then send us back (to the world): we will work righteousness: for we do indeed (now) believe.” This posh boy has not only fooled you but millions before and after you.Please think again.He is the epitome of the blind leading the blind
@@WISDOMBITES1 Sure but how come your God is more important than any other religion's God? How do you put faith in Him being the one?
@@WISDOMBITES1 he is dead. Just like you will be one day. He isn't wishing anything because he is dead. Just like when you die, you won't be thinking or wishing anything. Because that is what death means. Accept it and stop talking ridiculous superstitous shit
and it's the truth
He was excellent at pulling apart religion as is Richard Dawkins. However politically I heard him come out with rubbish arguments.
The crucifixion that Hitch and Fry provided against the Catholic Church in that debate was one of the most beautiful and amazing things I’ve ever seen. Absolutely stunning
Many have learnt from that ..but not the church
I will still give them some credit for trying I would love to see other faiths do the same.
The RC church is too easy a target.
it was the greatest, best pleasure....
It’s funny because Islam and Judaism do it at a much higher rate. Catholic Church is the easy target but they wouldn’t dare tear apart Islam or the hierarchy of no separation of mosque and state in Islamic countries

WILD BILL FOR AMERICA!
WILD BILL : Your caps is far left, 3rd key up.
I remember crying in catholic confession because my mom was going to hell for having premarital sex (she was divorced and sleeping w her boyfriend). I asked if I could go hell in her place. The priest told me no - she’d have to pay for her own sins. I left heartsick and worried. I love/d my mom dearly and the thought of her burning in hell horrified me. That’s what religion does to children.
Im so sorry for you., and that you had to experience religious trauma of that magnitude. This is truly vile and I hope you feel better.
Wow. "I asked if I could go to hell in her place..." Now THAT'S what Jesus would do (er, would HAVE done)! Good on you for being a truly good person. Few "Christians" would be that selfless.
I hope that episode in your life awakened you to the struggle for power all religions attempt to foster over everyone. Get on board with what I am saying and do what I say or you burn in hell. Yep that is an organization I don't want to be part of in any way. Some might call if being more like the Mafia.
I hope you are now reconciled that your mother did nothing to be ashamed of. Let alone to be threatened with an eternity of abuse.
Ignore the religious fools they are just a bubch of weak minded fools who teach hate and nothing more. Tell the priest to f^^k off.

The circumcision one, I thought the clip was going to end as the woman said lets move on, but than hitchens went even harder!
That rabi guy really thought that without circumcision Einstein wouldn't be as smart as he was?
@walid Allah Snackbar
@walid 1) How do you know what atheists believe? 2) People of religion are not prepared for afterlife, if they believed in wrong religion. Every religion can't be right. 3) Atheists and science don't claim universe came from nothing. 4) If you believe in God and afterlife because you're gambling, then you don't really believe. Imagine if I would say I believe in all gods and all religions. Would that make me safe, on the right side, whichever side is correct?
@walid I'm sure you're an expert in Qur'an and I never said you misunderstood Qur'an. You misunderstood atheist. (Yes, I did read it.)
@@goranmilic442 You said that sooo much better than I did in a far more concise way. I applaud you. He's just posting that beneath every comment who agrees with Hitchens (which will probably take a long time if he's doing it on this thread) and I wrote a much longer response. I will concede I am terrible at summarizing. Just wanted to compliment someone who did it better.
He absolutely destroyed that rabbi on circumcision
Yep and hes destroyed every religous nut he had the displeasure to argue with....huge intellect.
" you took up all my time with your rather long and unlettered question" is probably the funniest burn ever😂

I think it's just the way that kids react. I think it's a natural reaction.
hitch wasn't a journalist; he was a philosopher with a sense of humour.
@RUSSIAN ROBOT speaking for yourself I assume
Hmmmmm actual he was a journalist :
Christopher Eric Hitchens (13 April 1949 - 15 December 2011) was an English-American author, columnist, essayist, orator, journalist, and social critic.
And on top of all that he was also a douche bag

As a Zoroastrian communist, I I have news for you. Every word of that is wrong. You blame on religion that which is not the fault of religion.

Yessenia Miramontes as far as wishful thinking goes..I would have to second your motion
Yessenia Miramontes he would scold you for not having wished away religion
I have an idea. Why not decide to become as educated, and diligent, and forthright as Christopher? Become a champion of reality, so that you, and yours can live in true freedom from the abomination of judgement, and damnation for the most innate, and natural thoughts and behavior in favor of clarity and astonishment at the glories of an open reasonable mind in an expanding universe of possibilities? That is the essence of freedom and true morality, to be responsible for your own logic, and behavior, based on the highest truth through the filter of your own mind. Why not you? We are, all of us a singularity, ready for expansion in the ocean of time, and all that is possible. There always comes a time when mourning must be replaced by the joy of living our own life in a new day, a ray of light and truth and moral courage. Go forth, and mourn no more, but rejoice in freedom.
Peter Mullen Brilliant. How do I start?
Choked up in his defense of Stephen Fry. Very brave man. Stood by his principles to the end and not afraid.
My uncle is my greatest hero and protector and it pains me to see him being treated like some criminal freak because the love of his life and the person he goes home to is also a man.

Hitchens’ mission against religion always stemmed from a place of intense compassion and humanity
@@db7777shut up
Even years after his death, these episodes are so fresh, so real, so current. I miss this eloquent man.
"Ha! Well.. what an incredibly stupid question"
I'm almost crying with laughter
Me to that was a classic lol 😂
"Where does evil come from" he said with a condescending tone and a smirk
Chris: "Religion"
He was destroyed in that moment, left speechless
One of the best spur of the moment comebacks I have ever had the pleasure of listening to...
WakingCobain lol please it was a slick comeback only atheist will enjoy. It's hilariously oversimplistic to think evil only comes from religion. Maybe conception of good and evil were formed by religion but awful acts are done by non religious people throughout all of history. Lool at even recent events with Stalin
FTR, it's *Christopher, and never, ever "Chris". He'd have slapped you...
Charles Harding
And nobody ever said that only religious people commit evil acts.
The difference is that religious evil is based on literally nothing and thus even more foolish. Stalin was a monster, but at least he didnt pretend to be righteous in his evil deeds. He was just a bad person.
If you commit genocide for the ressources of a country you are monster. If you commit genocide on a people in the name of a delusion and for no gain you are a stupid monster.
Hitchens is right, religion at its core is evil. Cases of good things religion has done are always outweight by the bad. If religion didnt exist, evil wouldnt go away, but it would be starkly reduced and become easier to reason with.
Evil comes from religion is a nonsensical statement, it comes from the hearts of human beings. Christianity commands its adherents to love your neighbor as you love yourself and also to love your enemies. CHRIST never promoted the hurting of anyone, the churchmen who have done wrong have done so of their own accord not because it was a Christian mandate. No matter what Hitch said, the Atheistic regimes of Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao and Kim Sung to name a few have destroyed more lives than all the crusades combined.
I'm circumcised and I don't remember having a choice in the matter. This should be a personal choice and not left to the parents.(I know - too much information, but we really need to stop some of these barbaric practices)
ronkirk50 Because it's done in the name of religion this barbaric practice will never be stopped by any lawmakers here in the US. It would be political suicide to even propose the idea of introducing a bill against it.
I'm not even Jewish and I got cut. 1974 was my birth year. I now have a 15yo son and he's totally 'unmodified'. Religious idiots might call it 'as god intended'. Oh, the irony.
I was young, stupid and uninformed when I said yes to my wife who wanted it done at the time, Sorry son.
Little children have been victims of 'righteous adults' for thousand of years. It needs to stop.
@@drc4320 Same... :(
I miss this man more than I miss some of my family members.
I grew up in a Christian family in Texas. We went to church service every Sunday morning and evening and every Wednesday evening. I'm not circumcised (thank goodness!) and we kept our beliefs within the family and at church. We didn't go around trying to talk other people into "finding Jesus". We did our thing and left everyone else alone. It's just simple respect. That's why I have respect for Christopher Hitchins. Christians get angry at him for publicly talking about his beliefs and disbeliefs but he has just as much right to talk about his views as Christians do.
You have no idea how fortunate you are. Galatians 5:2. Mr. Hitchens is one of my heroes, despite my being a deist.
"What an incredibly stupid question"

You reject God but exclaim Him. Hmmm... you are so confused, lad... Decide, God or no God?
You can't say that. You can't say "God I miss this man" for it is an absurd statement, according to Hitchens himself. here is no God to state "I miss this man" to, LOL

The epitome of humanity, an easy but incredibly difficult thing to be: a thinker.
The Hannity Hitchslaps might be my favorite all time. The sigh Hannity lets out when Hitchens says, "You took up all the time for my answer with your long rather unlettered question," is absolutely classic.
When he accused him of never raking the time to read a single article arguing against his beliefs. The saddest part is just how meaningless their faith is to them until they get to use it to put somebody else down. Horrendous!

He’s been gone for a while now, but some of his slaps are still echoing around the world and will for ages to come.
I was in Westminster the day of the number 1 hitchslap. I was sitting next to a woman and asked her why she was there, she said she was a catholic and a fan of Stephen Fry. I asked her if she knew of Christopher Hitchens. She said no. I worried for her at that moment, as she did not know what was coming.
some time later I looked to my left to see how she was finding the whole debate, but she had already left.

By the way, millions of secular people are circumcised every year. One benefit to it among many is that there is less chance for transmission of sexual disease. Besides, I doubt after his third Scotch, which for Hitch would happen about 6 am, he needed to worry about anything sexual.

@@mcmchurch For the most part, mostly because I'm the only one of my siblings that pushes topics and still tries to have a real relationship with him. Unfortunately, he had a very abusive childhood he's suppressed indefinitely and I think religion is a part of that. He only cares about the appearance of being a good Christian, and the values he's been trained to regurgitate are as deep as he goes. Kind of hard to be open when the slightest hint of skepticism is enough for the door to slam in your face. He's a clinical definition of a narcissist, he loves the spotlight until the camera focuses. Damn, that's a great line.

He's still exposing them, posthumously.

Gershom Maes of course they can be wrong for the same reason and that reason is the cutting of the genitalia. We know that it's a different configuration but it's wrong for both , for the same reason. Just because they are configured differently doesn't change the reason . Both wrong .
Gershom Maes we're on about the fact of cutting being wrong not the after effects.
Gershom Maes or cutting for religious reasons . Medical reasons to do it then yes 👍 religious reasons then no . But if anything needs doing for medical that's fine . Knowing that in some cases and have no negative affect and in some it does , it's a bit too late after the fact so leave it alone until medically it's needed to be done . Simple .

@@amywatson2066 This is a LONG reply. If you choose to reply by saying, "Sorry, you wrote too much," that says everything I need to know about some people thinking that issues like this can be boiled down to a content-less soundbite. You're free to not read it, if you like.
The ONLY thing that your comment does is reveal much about the life you've already led, your lack of understanding of not just history in general but specifically the history of religion, the relationship of religions & government, the various tools used by which religious "devotees" to silence a counter-argument that have NOTHING to do with content or logic, how manipulatively attempts at humor are used to attempt to bring the religious person & Hitchens together when there is no (common) ground in the sea of immortality...
A "rude loud person with zero value in his points"? Again, it's easy to make comments like "his points had zero value" without elaborating. I'm sorry if you feel that someone pointing out that the Catholic Church made a deal with Hitler to not stand in the way of his taking complete control of government is a point of "zero value." I'm sorry if you feel that his pointing out that circumcisions are painful, dangerous, reduce sexual pleasure, provide no medical benefit to children/men and are not a laughing matter is a point of "zero value" to you. I'm sorry if you feel like his pointing out that the Catholic Church actually TOOK A MAJOR PART in urging the Hutus of Rwanda to persecute & mass-slaughter their Tutsi brothers & sisters and that the church should apologize for it is a point of "zero value." (This one in particular leads me to believe that you've never read a history book in your life...by the way, the Rwandan Genocide, which describes the wholesale slaughter of almost a million Rwandans, was not even 30 years ago.) I'm sorry if you think his point that the Catholic Church telling gay people that they're not welcome in their church while continuing to cover up or excuse or wish to move on from the mass-molestations & torture of masses of children by priests is, at the very least, incredibly hypocritical is a point of "zero value."
"Loud"? "Rude"? Uh...he's not yelling. He's not swearing or calling anyone vulgar names. He's being forthright. I don't really know how to sugarcoat descriptions of mass-murder or collusion with genocidal dictators. I guess you think it's rude that he dared tell Hannity to stop talking over him if Hannity is going to ask him a question? Did you notice how when Greg Gutfeld at least had the decency to let him speak, Hitchen was courteous in return?
No, it's not the manner that offended you. It was the message. It's so easy to attack a messenger if the very message offends you.
@@amywatson2066 And just to add, if you're going to criticize somebody, next time, say WHY. Don't just say "zero value in his points." State why his points are wrong. State WHY his attacks on the Catholic Church (and other religions) have no substance...or why the morality in the cases he listed is not dubious. I sincerely wish you a nice day.
@@eaaivazian well you’re just as rude as him if not more. You’re here assuming I haven’t read this or know anything about that and your tone isn’t very friendly. Now I wouldn’t mind your attack if you made a valid point. I am starting to see the pattern though. The blind leading the blind and this is why you people like his videos. I watched a few of his videos and they were all bad. For this video the first point was if he met God then would tell God that there was not enough evidence, is a stupid point. Literally Everything is the evidence of God. It’s the dumbest argument I’ve ever heard. You can’t define the word God without saying He is The Creator of everything. His second scene he outright told a guy from the audience that his question was the stupidest question that he has ever heard. That’s very rude to say to someone asking a question in a big crowd like that and being recorded. The third scene he literally attacked that poor rabbi with lies! Circumcision doesn’t cause death lol now has there people that got a surgeries and died from wounds getting infected? Yes of course! And circumcision is no exception. More people die from eating bubble gum than people dying from circumcision. He stunned the poor rabbi with his loudness and made it sound like people really die from it. Lies! I can keep going. He didn’t have a single good point.
Now to the none sense that you were saying sorry to break it down to you but everything you’re trying to argue is irrelevant. Sure people use religion for bad, get over it nobody is arguing that. People use chemistry for bad but do we say chemistry is bad? Of course not. The thing is if you listen to this idiot and you think he is intelligent, then clearly you’re not either. You’re trying to argue irrelevant none sense. Who cares what an organization has done? I’m talking atheism vs theism. Did he have one good argument against god? No zero, in fact his ideas are too weak. Before we argue specific religions we better of debate God. I’m not a Christian by the way but my point is it does NOT matter if the Catholic Church is horrible in your opinion. Bad people will do bad things even with the best of things.
Christopher defending his dear friend Stephen Fry is my favorite speech EVER!!

I agree. Stephen is one of the most intelligent and funny people you could meet. And what makes him a greater person is he hasn't allowed their opinions to prohibit him from sharing his humor and intelligence with anyone.
