Is this the same author that wrote “No One Left To Lie To”?
Hitchens is terribly intolerant.
Narcissim is never a pretty thing to see, Hitchens falls upon the idea that somehow Atheism demands morality, or even common decency of it’s adherents, and that is simply not true, Atheism fills mass graves and cemeteries faster then any other philosophy of mankind that has ever been created.
God is indeed Great, it is mankind that is not.
Hitchens is a pudgy lush.
The Rabbi is spot on.
The difference between the atheist / communist world
and the Judeo Christan world.
Here is what sets most totalitarian from Democratic society’s apart.
The communists have no respect for human life.
The Islamists appear to have even less.
Hitchens is a very surprising lefty. He is one of the very few on the left who actually to this day — DEFENDS Bush’s decision to depose Saddam and stabilize Iraq.
But then I guess he has a motive as his latest book suggests -— HE HATES ALL RELIGION.
How do you know what is "good or bad for the species" without a definition of good or bad yet? In any event, "what is good or bad for the development of the species" is ultimately a philosophical question, incapable of being quantified. This is a pretty poor attempt to define good and evil.
Arthur Allen Leff >> Hitchens.
Atheists never consider the ethical and moral implications of a godless world. God provides the moral center to the Universe (along with everything else ;) )
And that is how you come to tossing malformed babies and the infirm off of cliffs. Indeed, it is exactly how the NAZI's defined good and evil, based on what was best for "their" species.
“Hitchens is a pudgy lush.”
And he needs a shave most days, but that is beside the point, he is making an pseudo-intellectual argument, not campaigning to be on the cover of “Health and Fitness”.
Teh problem is he can not seem to see past anything but himself, as if he is his own God and Master..a little Ozymandais:
” ‘My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’ Nothing else remains except bare, empty desert stretching around the ruined statue.”
as it always shall be, we are transients, no more no less.
You are abolutely right. Prof. Glass’ ethics lead straight to the gas camps of Treblinka and the killinlg fields of Cambodia. Toss in the Gulag and Mao’s cultural revolution and one begins to see a pattern.
Hey, I know him, I gave that guy 2 dollars outside of Walmart the other day...he said he was out of gas but I think he needed money for alcohol...LOL!
But then I guess he has a motive as his latest book suggests -— HE HATES ALL RELIGION."
Hitchens is not that hard to understand. Hitchens is a homo. But he is not a stupid homo. He hates religion and G-d because he thinks, falsely, that their admonition against his sexual predilection are why he is so angry and unhappy. But he also sees the communist left for the murderous fanatics they are. Hitchens is no more complicated than that.
In other words they're totally blinded by their own arrogant willful ignorance.
You’re thinking of Andrew Sullivan. Hitchens is married with a child, I believe.
I’m no Hitchens fan, but the slight problem with your deduction that Hitchens is a homo is that it requires you to argue away his marriages and children. But go ahead, keep making conservatives look like teenagers sniggering about “homos.”
I believe you are right. I stand corrected.
For the record, I am a Hitchens fan (even when I believed, falsely (see above), that he was a homo. And it is not "sniggering." The "gay rights" movement is part of the left wing battering ram designed to smash American culture.
