Christopher Hitchens on Hannity & Colmes about Rev. Falwell's Death
 |
||
Christopher Hitchens along with Ralph Reed participate in a debate on the legacy of the Reverend Jerry Falwell. This was recorded from the Hannity and Colmes show of 16-May-2007.More information about Christopher Hitchens (from Wikipedia):Christopher Eric Hitchens (born April 13, 1949, in Portsmouth, England) is an Anglo-American author, journalist and literary critic. Currently living in Washington, D.C., he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Nation, Slate and Free Inquiry; additionally, he is an occasional contributor to other publications and has appeared regularly in the Wall Street Journal. His brother is British journalist Peter Hitchens.Hitchens is known for his iconoclasm, anti-clericalism, atheism, antitheism, anti-fascism and anti-monarchism. He is also noted for his acerbic wit and his noisy departure from the Anglo-American political left. He was formerly a Trotskyist and a fixture in the left wing publications of Britain and America. But a series of disagreements beginning in the early 1990s led to his resignation from The Nation shortly after the September 11, 2001, attacks. He is also known for his ardent admiration of George Orwell and Thomas Jefferson, and his iconoclastic criticism of Mother Teresa.While Hitchens' idiosyncratic ideas and positions preclude easy classification, he is a vociferous critic of what he describes as "fascism with an Islamic face," and his critics have been known to describe him as a "neoconservative". Hitchens, however, refuses to embrace this designation. In 2004, Hitchens stated that neoconservative support for US intervention in Bosnia and Iraq convinced him that he was "on the same side as the neo-conservatives" when it came to contemporary foreign policy issues. He has also been known to refer to his association with "temporary neocon allies".Hitchens no longer considers himself a Trotskyist or a socialist; yet he maintains that his political views have not changed significantly. He points out that, throughout his career, he has been both an atheist and an antitheist, and that he has always remained a believer in the Enlightenment values of secularism, humanism and reason. Hitchens has launched a detailed attack on Religion in his book god Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. He has also stated that, while he "was very much in rebellion against the state" during his youth, he is now "much more inclined to stress... issues of individual liberty."Hitchens became a United States citizen on his fifty-eighth birthday, April 13, 2007.Please let me know if you like the Christopher Hitchens videos.

atheism isn't a religion. it's merely a rejection of God and religion. fundamental difference.religious people make an affirmative statement like "God exists." in order for that to be taken seriously, religious people have need to produce solid evidence in support of it. until that happens, the logical default position should be disbelief.

The religion of atheism has the most religious people that exist. You allowed your faith to become shipwreck, and succumed to "every wind of doctrine" without having a firm foundation. The religion of atheism doesn't have a foundation. It's just plopped down on sand but its believers are not bothered by the lack of a foundation or logic.

Nothing backs evolutionism, except people like you who keep regurgitating the same lie that somewhere there's this huge mountain of proof for evolutionism, but that mountain of proof is a mile wide but only a millimeter deep. It just isn't there. All evidence backs atheism? No, nothing backs atheism. It is just a bull headed no-room-for-questions statement that God doesn't exist. Period. THAT is a pack of lies. The Bible isn't a "pack of lies" - that is spoken only in ignorance of scripture.

According to his logic, there isn't any truth (nevermind that is an illogical statement to begin with). It's like saying my brother was an only child, or I can't speak a word of English. Sorry, but Hitchens bread ain't quite done.

This video should prove once and for all that Alan Colmes is just a flunky for FOX disguised as a "Liberal"LMAO

Hitchens can rub me the wrong way sometimes. He does come off as a little snooty, with the posh accent and monotone delivery. But once you get over that, no matter how you feel about his arguments, he is a great debater. He never gets rattled and kills them with logic. I'm envious. I get way too emotional!

Good for you.

Completely true, I couldn't have said it better myself. Religious people or believers are a funny lot really, I know, I used to be one of them. Thankfully I managed to get out before the virus took hold.
