A review of Christopher Hitchens' atheist manifesto.

[seanmerc]

He’ll believe in God the moment after he dies.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

yEESH.

[cdcdawg]

Hitchens and Dawkins and the rest all basically come down to “All the smart people are atheists, so there.”

There are plenty around here that admire Hitchens for his writings on the War on Terror. I am one. Just remember that he is every bit as ignorant and dense on religion as he is on economics. His one redeeming quality is that he knows that the Islamists would slit his throat. Pity that more of the Left don’t see it so clearly.

And the differences that do exist are understandable and scarcely suggest that the portrait of Jesus that emerges from the Gospels is unreliable.

Christopher Hitchens denies that Jesus Christ ever existed. He considers Him to be a complete fabrication and said this on Michael Medved's radio program. Mr. Hitchens said that there is much more evidence for the existence of Mohammed (but made no "equal" claims about the lack of possiblity that Mohammed rode to the heavens on a horse). Odd that he directs his venom primarily at one faith, especially when another is actively murdering in a holy war that goes on around the world.

The Left says the same thing about being a Democrat and uses it as justification for overrepresentation by liberals in education and the media.

Fixed it.

What can you say about a guy who attacked Mother Theresa?

[padre35]

Hitchens pines for a society that removes the heart of it’s populace, then still expects the heart to function.

Yet another neo Marxist, too bad really, even his one good character trait, rejection of Islamofascism, is mollified under the rubric of “There early conquests seemed driven by God”?

Somewhere, Shakespeare’s witches are cackling in with “What fools these mortals be”

[muawiyah]

Hitchens most certainly would not volunteer to take the place of another man doomed to die.

He will have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to his doom.

In the meantime he wants everybody to think there's nothing going on once you're dead.

This is worth a bookmark.

>>>What can you say about a guy who attacked Mother Theresa?

And keeps on attacking her. He recently said this about her: "I wish there was a hell for that bitch to go to."

[Publius6961]

BUMP!

[Hi Heels]

For what possible service is something this hate-filled produced? THIS is how he wants to be remembered?

[Aquinasfan]

He recently said this about her: "I wish there was a hell for that bitch to go to."

What a guy! Like Eddie Murphy once said, "I guess he wants to get on the Hell Express."

“Mr. Hitchens said that there is much more evidence for the existence of Mohammed.”

Mohammed is easy to find, he’s still in his tomb in the city of Medina.

Christopher Hitchens denies that Jesus Christ ever existed.

When I heard that, I knew he was more than just a misguided atheist, but a willfully ignorant anti-Christian. It actually makes me more strongly believe that Christianity and Judaism are the only true religions when I see the completely irrational hatred directed toward them.

[mel]

Me too

[dan1123]

Wow, where did he say that?
