The God Debate: Christopher Hitchens vs Dinesh D'Souza debate at the University of Notre Dame on April 7, 2010
It’s like every Hitch “no” adds strength to me❤️❤️💪
It’s nice watching this and not being shouted at by Turek.
Jesus Christ this is a terrible radio show. I'm going to ask you "but uh what if God though?" 11,000 times in a row and then go "Oh" when you don't think that's brilliant.
Dude this is the worst fucking radio show put upon voice I've ever heard
Yoo who is this interviewer he is hilarious
Hitchens hands him his dumb ass over and over and over and over and over and over...
I think back in the days before, (nights before) lights, when we sat around an open fire at night and looked up at the sky at night, our families told stories about what they saw in the stars and they eventually turned into Gods, both good and bad. Some had horns and tails, of course, and I'm sure this is where our gods and devils came from in the beginning.
Host: does that sound like you Sir? CH: No it sounds like St.Paul 🤣😅😂☠️, hitchslap
Interviewer sees nothing wrong with his points. Says a lot
I guess, at the end, the host thought that he got Hitchens by getting him to " confess" his hedonistic lifestyle. Turns out that the host just got immortalized as Hitchens' punching bag
Hitchens knows the bible better than this guy
Ok, Hitchens wasn't a scientist, or a philosopher, or a theologian, but he was a decent rhetorician, and did camp putdowns like nobody's business; McGrath on the other hand, despite his 'qualifications' had absolutely nothing to say about the God debate. He would speak at such length and say absolutely zero. Unbelievable.
I love the annoyance you can hear at 9:14, hahahaha
Thanx… I love this man…its a shame he has passed…very intelligent and extremely wel spoken…….not Talking bout Frank Turek btw😂
These words are proven true and with evidence today
Brilliant!
this is comedy gold. I’m surprised Hitchens even bothered.
I'm not sure if I'm heading for heaven hell purgatory or oblivion but I'll go to my grave quiet certain that despite the horrors of this world and history and apparent indifference of the universe it's an incredibly beautiful and awe inspiring place even when I'm too stupid to appreciate it and that love is real and that humans are fallen yet often inspiring and heroic and noble and that even the smartest most articulate of the atheists haven't really got a clue
What a perfect rebuttal to precisely the kinds of things Ayaan Hirsi Ali started saying earlier this year. Hitchens comes right out and says it, albeit not in so many words: Islamism will not be defeated by turning the other cheek, so how on earth does the adoption of the faith that espouses this notion help us combat it?
Gods are definitely NOT great! Let’s grow up, shall we?!
I so miss Christopher Hitchens. The insight, humor and razor sharp approach to debate.
i’m just trying my luck
Thanks for this. There are so many debates with Hitchens that would be so much better with the blathering drivel from other guy edited out. {:o:O:}
Will never get tired of Hitch in this life. Absolute legend!
What value has half a debate? Why is the counterargument of an Oxford Professor deleted from this? Such censorship diminishes the case that CH makes. No one seeking truth or understanding would listen to only one side of a debate.
Because you can listen to the debate if you think you're on the fence and it will help you sort things out. This video is entertainment for fans, nothing else. A legacy video. I wouldn't begrudge anyone the opportunity to do the same for the other side.
It’s the same as the millions and millions of movie clips posted here on youtube. What good is it to watch only one five minute scene rather than the whole film? Well, when you’ve already seen the movie several times and know it well, sometimes you just want to watch just the best parts now and then.
Thanks for the upload, Hitch is the man, son of man.
Criminality is higher in the US whatever point of view you want to look at it from. Same on homeless number. I live in spend but spend sometime in the US every year
Not true. Check your sources.
And what does that mean? That we should allow religion to poison our minds so that we can be a bit more safe in terms of criminals and homeless people? Politics should be what changes that. It doesn't because we have capitalism. But politics should deal with that - not imaginary beings.
@@colinellicott9737 better check yours. I live in the EU (Spain) and visit the US every year. This year I have spent 3 months in Florida.I Know quite well the difference, not only because I have read about it, but because I have seek it with my own eyes
I love how this sounds like a parody of Christian talk shows - but it's real 🤣
Hitchens is correct... Only a SLAVE could want this to be true
Hitch is the fucking man!
You couldn't include a picture of the actual evangelical radio host speaking? WTF is this?
"does that sound like you, sir?" "No, it sounds like St Paul" 😂
Hitchens...a loss to humanity and a personal hero of mine.
I prefer to think of Hitch as a gift to humanity. A gift that keeps on giving...
What a brilliant and brave man, no one can say it so bluntly and clearly as Cristopher Hitchens!
@@Johanvanderschelling David Berlinski?
How does anyone manage the psychological process of believing in supernatural phenomena? No one has ever been able to talk me through how to do it. They just expected me to somehow get on and do it. I can swim, ride a bike, do long division, bake a cake, write a poem, and i got guidance on all of these challenges, but how to 'believe' in supernatural religious beings? - no. I'm 71 years old and still in the dark on how its done. Reality is clearly already full to the very brim being itself, how am I supposed to invoke or conjure an angel or a devil and somehow insert it in here. Trying to do so would mean breaking the infinite miniscus of the continuous moment which we all dodge about in. I just cannot see how believers manage to do it. By the way, i was reared in Northern Ireland, where believing in supernatural religious phenomena was freighted with other dangerous layers of meaning.
Do you recall a time in your youth when Santa was real? That is how.
@@colinellicott9737 No Colin, I don't. I remember trying to believe in Santa because it was expected of me, and I'm a bit of a people pleaser . No, I'm curious about the experience of the process that believers might be able to shed some light on and articulate for those of us who haven't mastered the skill. Or maybe believing is just sustained wilful pretence - what do you think?
@@dugaldmccullough I don't believe you. Unless you cannot remember when you were five years old.
@@colinellicott9737 I think you mean you do not trust me to be telling the truth - believing does not come into it, as there is nothing supernatural about telling the truth or not telling the truth. And I have no reason not to tell the truth here, Colin. When I was about 4 or 5, I distinctly remember the discomfort of my older brother trying to convince me that a red flashing light in the night sky over east Belfast was Santa's sleigh. I remember the discomfort of unconvincingly trying to will it to be true, and failing, and having neither the vocabulary nor the agency to actually express my own thinking. I think in the end, I probably pretended and went along with it that night, just to get out of the difficult situation. Kid's lives are full of such compromises. But given the nature of this strange phenomenon we call belief, it appears to me there are no objective criteria that can be applied to distinguish between pretending to believe, and, believing. What do you think Colin? I'm grateful to you for the exchange.
@@dugaldmccullough You are correct, I already said I don't believe you. Every adult today was a child, being a child includes an age when you believed what you were told without question because you had no skills to guide you through the difference, including me at age 5 in Liverpool. Suspending critical thinking is the equivalent of willful ignorance, and are the equivalent of actual ignorance and actual lack of critical thinking. Children develop these skills to different degrees over time. There was a time when you did not have those skills. That is how you and all other children have accepted extraordinary claims without questioning anything. That is the mindset adults must reach to do the same.
Thanks for posting this. I've been on a Hitch kick lately and usually fast forward to the 'good' parts as a matter of habit all the time. ☮️👍
The Hitch was masterful at getting his religious opponents to express their childish make-believe with maximum detail, so we get to observe the entire animal.
The A Moment let's relax and enjoy a genius at Play I am Capt Jester Moon of The good Ship The Wizard of Sily There is no gods seen in my foxhole for 42 yrs Failed suicide 14 yrs ago and PTSD for 42 yrs Thx again god I have to go now and enjoy a stroll in The Park 🎉 Stay Safe Stay Free Keep Listening ❤
The original date, please.
Terrifyingly accurate description of Christianity.
I'd love to watch the whole debate...
I would and I wouldn't like to hear both sides. Firstly to observe how ridiculous Religion is in light of its claims of knowing finsl truth and secondly in light of Science never ceasing in its quest of truth.
@@Martin-tn5lm this discussion was in 2007. Perhaps you need to try updating your beliefs to 2024 with new the revelations concerning the Darwin theory and materialism. The cell was once called protoplasm but it isn’t described in that way presently . The earth was once considered flat too..
@@Geezerelli *_"the revelations concerning the Darwin theory"_* The are no new "revelations" about Darwin's theory. It's been updated and expanded into neo-Darwinism. {:o:O:}.
When I lived in America it amazed me that they WANTED me to have a religion, and they could not understand that I believed in NOTHING but science and truth...
How did Mr McGrath get through that event without having to get up to pee several times for as much water he was drinking?
Yes, Christopher has it right. It is clear, and there are reams of evidence throughout multiple branches of biological science, how ‘Social Behavior’ in wide numbers of higher species is to a greater or lesser extent an evolutionary adaptation that helps the survival of the group, and thus the individuals. Acts of clear altruism, where demonstration of care for others, cooperation, pack behavior, generosity, self-sacrifice, and even forward-thinking, demonstrate values that seem innate to the majority within that species. From this reality it can be determined how our tendency towards moral behavior is an inherited evolutionary adaptation that we’ve discovered improves our chances for survival. On top of this is our rational analysis of how a structured and regulated society allows us to function better than a society built on chaotic anarchy would provide. This doesn’t mean there aren’t many among us who try to push the limits of moral and ethical behavior for their own benefit. Some of this anti-social behavior can be attributed to poor environmental influences, and various degrees of mental illness, such as psychotic behavior. People have free will to choose their behavior. It's clear how so many Christians do what The Church has done for centuries - deny the reality that science is our only method that actually searches for evidence that reveals 'truth'. Faith is by definition - a CHOICE to believe in that which there isn't sufficient evidence to claim is 'fact'. (Otherwise it would not be called 'faith' but instead 'fact', which it clearly cannot do...) I get tired of religious proponents claiming to have 'the truth' because their faith tells them so, and all the evidence from the natural world points to completely different answers...
Frank Turek is arguably the worst mainstream apologist working, and that's from a very target-rich environment.
Most atheist claims we came from nothing. They probably think about it with nothing in their brain 😂
"I'm not looking for consensus, baby. I'm just not in the mood." I'm going to use that.
I guess the real issue is that Man's never been able to accept his own mortality, and accordingly has always been willing to go to any length to soothe his anguish and horror at the thought of death and total and eternal annihilation. Our brain's developed itself in amazing ways, some of which have backfired on us. The Western world's just started the long trip to emancipation from God, when we can accept and live with the fact that we're likely to be only primates - highly sophisticated as we can be - and mere mortals. Science has enabled us to swallow less and less from religion. The day might come when we swallow nothing at all. I say "might" because I'm not sure human beings will still be around. That's the way I personally see it. Like everybody else, though, I hold no truth and I don't know if there might be anything out there, anything "supernatural." I also have to say that I know plenty of wonderful people who know how to keep what's good in religion and get rid of what's not, and are much better human beings than I am. We have to admit that many of Jesus of Nazareth's teachings are still the best human beings have in terms of ethics. There's one thing I didn't like about Hitchens and I don't like about Dawkins, and it was spelled out wonderfully by the great Stephen Fry who once amicably reproached his friend Dawkins for lacking "the Oxford Manner, the ability to play with ideas gracefully." I wish people like Hitchens and Dawkins didn't say things like "you'll realise how stupid your question is." Like the rest of us, they aren't entitled to disrespect.
his arguments are so convincing that only the least gifted would disagree. This unfortunately includes most of the faith based
Silliness. Tell me what he said that convinced you God does not exist?
@@James-ns3zi why bother, you are obviously faith based and less gifted,try watching again !!
@@James-ns3ziHe didn’t say Gods or goddesses don’t exist but that there is no evidence for them. His argument is that there is no reason to believe they do exist.
Comrade 🎉 I have many friends across the world;; some I would say are stupid or sllly. This is because I was in the RAF for 28 yrs. We are all suffering from PTSD to one degree or other. I've been Capt Jester Moon of The Wizard of Silly. (Shameless advert coming up...) My new podcast beginning 1st November 2024. Facebook page is funny or not however; we All start and, we All die in The End. Just don't put it about, you will see 😎 Stay Safe Stay Free worldwide x peace and love etc No gods seen in my foxhole for 42 yrs. As a Jewish Atheist I find the hole thing is made up. I think you are right🎉😂
What about David Berlinski?😢
Wallahee! Religion was invented when the first scoundrel met the first fool.
I say thank God, then i say immediately after, and i don't believe in that guy, when i hear someone else thanking god i also say to them, you don't believe in that guy do you, 🖕, ive watched enough Hitchens videos to have a great argument.
U have your own life experiences to draw from as well.
Modern atheism is just bigotry with a thin veneer of intellectualism. It's fundamentally based on a failure to learn history, logic, and philosophy. You have to laugh at people with no epistemology trying to make moral claims. 😂 Intelligent people can take atheists seriously as soon as they are willing to define the criteria of an existential proof for a deity. Other than that, there's no reason to even treat them as intellectuals, especially since they themselves lack the common human decency to treat different views with respect. Atheists are people who think the things that they make up are superior to the things they claim that other people made up. 😂 Christian: God gives my life meaning. Atheist: That's stupid. God is just made up. Christian: Then what gives your life meaning? Atheist: I make up my own meaning. Christian: 🤦
Do you also bleat in your sleep or only while awake.
So true 😂 The only intelligent comment I've found on here. I used to like Hitchens but listening to him now I've matured + have actually studied the Bible, claims he makes are completely inaccurate. Shame they cut out the responses that probably pointed out his falsehoods
