I think Hitchens is a sharp dude, but he’s obviously has a lot of hate to suppress to drink that much.
I nod my head to Hitch and then he says “such as the mad attempt by messianic Jews to steal the land of other people”. Religion is hard. Faith is almost impossible. This twaddle about Jews taking other people’s land is pure foolishness. Everyone’s land was somebody else’s land at one time, and if you go back far enough, something else’s land. It is a good thing when good people of good culture take over. The world is a better place because of it.
I agree he is sharp, and I don’t consider myself the most religious guy, but his arguments are so full of venom and hate and his public appearances are so plagued with bloodshot eyes and slurred eyes, it’s gotta be the booze.
I think you’re right.
