"Being offended is not an argument."
Very true. I just yesterday read a comment by an atheist saying that he was "offended" whenever a Christian stated that he believed the Bible was "the truth". WHY would that OFFEND you? - I've never taken offense at anyone simply stating their honest beliefs, and don't see what in the world there is to get offended about. What, is he just "offended" by being confronted with the fact that not everyone in the world thinks just like he does??
@@BogartSlap , most probably he/she just gave you taste of your medicine.
Being atheist doesn't mean 100% rational, all it means is that they use their brain a bit (and hence are smarter on average) more than religious lot.
Statement "being offended is not an argument" stands correct, at least in my opinion.
Calling bible "the truth" is a gross lie, *and you know it* , maybe that person was offended because he/she was knowingly and willingly lied to (and repeatedly lied to, if your account is assumed to be accurate).
@@_-AB-_ "all it means is that they use their brain a bit (and hence are smarter on average) more than religious lot."
I haven't seen any actual research studies on that point - and I'd be skeptical as hell of the methodology of one, as it would just be very difficult to properly design and execute such a study. But speaking purely anecdotally, I haven't seen that to be the case - It's been my (albeit limited) experience that atheist zealots are just about as stupid as Christian zealots.
And the implication that religious people DON'T use their brain a bit is, well, snotty and snide, and most of all, untrue. Deeply religious people, stretching at least as far back as Augustine, are responsible for composing much of western philosophy. Additionally, I've tripped across very, very few atheists who have actually thought through the logical conclusions that implicitly follow from their basic core beliefs and who, therefore, continually make statements or assertions that are blatant logical contradictions of their basic atheist philosophical stance.
Anyway, that's my two cents. :)
Thanks for chiming in.
@@BogartSlap , majority of good engineers (I am one and conduct interviews) are atheist, majority of good medical doctors are atheist (by good I mean who apply themselves to problem at hand rather than doing rote work).
Overwhelming majority of scientists, PHD holders are atheist.
Please read again, or I'd just put it down again in case I didn't phrase it correctly earlier, "On average atheists tend to use their brain a bit more than religious lot". It's just observation, there is nothing "snotty" about it.
1) I believe you know that finding a religious zealot is far much more easier than "atheist zealot".
2) Most religious people contributed to arts and science NOT because of religiousness but for a livelihood. More then a few were condemned for it by religious lot.
List any five influences of Augustine that were *exclusive* to him (or derived just from him) AND are regarded useful in any field which promotes well-being.
@@_-AB-_ Sorry, but I TOTALLY call "bullshit". Several studies/surveys have found that 75-80% of doctors identify themselves as religious, or are identified as religious by their behaviors (church attendance, prayer, etc.) - so the only way that your assertion that the majority of "good doctors" are atheists could be true would be if there were very, very, very few good doctors - and I seriously doubt that you can back THAT notion up with objective data.
"Overwhelming majority of scientists, PHD holders are atheist"
Again, no. In fact, a 2016 Pew study found that Christians have an average 9.3 years of schooling, while "religious unaffiliated" (includes atheists and agnostics) only have an average of 8.8 years. (Number one is Jewish people, who have a whopping 13.4 years of schooling on average.) Jews also have the highest number of graduate and post-graduate degrees per capita (61%) - Christians are in second place per capita, with 22%, but in first place in absolute numbers. Religiously unaffiliated, which includes atheists and agnostics, comes in third per capita, at 16% - in terms of absolute numbers, they're obviously way behind both Jews and Christians. And that's a very salient point - the fact that such a very small percentage of the population is atheist. Approximately 21% of the US population is "religiously unaffiliated", but atheists specifically are only 3%. It's patently absurd then to assert that the "overwhelming majority" of scientists/PhD holders are atheist, as even if EVERY atheist became a scientist - and obviously that's NOT the case - because they're such a small percentage of the population to begin with, there's no way in hell they could add up to being an "overwhelming majority" of all scientists. Such an assertion is what we logicians call "absurd on its face".
Now, according to a 2009 Pew research center survey, it IS true that belief in God is significantly less common among scientists than among the general population. But again, that still doesn't add up to the "overwhelming majority" of them being atheists. Even among the non-believing-in-God crowd in the scientific community, the majority of THOSE people are agnostic rather than atheist.
According to a 2015 global survey by Gallup, the MOST religious people had lower levels of education, however, religious people IN GENERAL were the MAJORITY at ALL educational levels.
""On average atheists tend to use their brain a bit more than religious lot". It's just observation"
I'd say that's a subjective perception of yours, rather than an objective observation. And the idea that it's a subjective perception is supported by the simple fact that my subjective perception differs from yours.
" finding a religious zealot is far much more easier than "atheist zealot"
Well, I'd say that's only true to the extent that finding a religious PERSON, period, is much easier, since they make up such a larger percentage of the population. But if one does manage to dig up equal numbers of each - say, 20 Christians and 20 atheists - then I'd say that among those two crowds, there are likely to be just as many, if not more, zealous atheists than zealous religious people. Consider the fact that a LOT of religious people are merely "pew sitters", not the least bit zealous about their religion. In contrast, I've met relatively few "lukewarm" atheists. I think the percentage of "true believers" among atheists is likely considerably higher than the percentage of "true believers" who are, say, Methodist or Catholic.

Hitch who pretends to know the bible as he screws up on it over and over again including what faith means biblically.
--"Faith is the surrender of the mind, it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other animals. It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. ... Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated”-- Christopher Hitchens
Now, look at what biblical faith really means that Hitch the liar didn't even look at:
Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Hitchens always went into evasive word antics to avoid key questions like how we got the creation of the universe.
Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God.
Life only comes from life. Law of biogenesis.
God is the reason for us and all we have.

Well said Maranda
The world doesn’t deserve people like Hitchens, they prefer people like Trump and Putin
"If you don't consider me an enemy then you don't know an enemy when you hear or see one". Love that.
too much respect is given to the Religious, respect their right to believe what they want but seriously the religions cannot be respected
Hitchens spent a lifetime showing people places not to go and people and practices not to follow. I do the opposite, take a look at Falun Dafa
"I'm onto you mate. "
“So being owned is bad??” Theists never disappoint.
what a perfect evidence that they are blindfolded without knowing they have a blindfold on
Atheists say that God does not exist to avoid thinking, just like Christians believe that Jesus has saved them. Both have lazy minds.
The atheist cult denies their own souls. Very sad. I guess misery does love company.
@@MnMarton Not all think that way.
People who say that always plan on being the owners. What man in his right mind would want to be owned by another? The absolute antithesis of freedom.
"Dont take refuge in the false security of consensus" such a powerful quote
@Jazzkeyboardist1 you're attacking a dead man by calling him a coward?
@Jazzkeyboardist1 that's not what "prove" means. also, review what "hypocrite" means and re-read my initial reply.
@Jazzkeyboardist1 And why his sexuality is relevant by any means, exactly?
That is, indeed, excellent advice. Most people can't stand it if they think pretty much everyone else doesn't think just like they do - and if they DO think pretty much everyone agrees with them, they erroneously assume that means they're right.
One such consensus is the atheist consensus.
"Take the risk of thinking for yourself...much more happiness, truth, beauty and wisdom will come to you that way..."
RIP Mr. Hitchens, much of this world misses your words of wisdom.

@@jeffforsythe9514Jeff why are you such a gimp? Can’t face reality?
Host: "So ownership is a bad thing"... Hitchens: "Of people yes".
One of his best Hitch slaps in my opinion.
The host was asking for it imo
sweetsweatyfeet he tried to bait him into saying no and I'm not sure why. I genuinely don't get it ownership of anything conscious is objectively wrong
Jazzkeyboardist1 what are you talking about, can you honestly say that Hitchens was wrong about the Iraq war. Firstly he was ill informed as the rest of the world was secondly to say that just because Saddam Hussein wasn't building nuclear weapons he didn't need to be stopped.
Secondly are you that much of an idiot that you think his Iraq war stance defined his life's work, (I'm guessing that you haven't read any of his books). And you finish your argument by joking about his mother's suicide, well done you're a fine human being.
Jazzkeyboardist1 I have never read anyone with less intelligence who dares to speak of an intellect of Hitchens' magnitude by "Chrissy". You clearly know nothing of his work however I have strong doubts in your ability to read based on your analysis of Hitchens life. "Mocking many females" I'm sorry are you that much of an idiot that you think that mocking people who happen to be female is remotely sexist. Read his memoir if you can, might take you a few years. He was very close to his mother and often talked of how he feared himself succumbing to suicide because she showed no signs of any depression and just took her own.
"He proved that religion is based on faith" if that's all you pick up from his books and lectures then you're genuine purpose in life is just to waste our air. Stop doing that please.
And don't be salty about Diana, nobody outside of the lower class cares
The white mans world. "Ownership" is inherently an example of wrong thinking. Give Chief Seattle's famous speech from 1854 a read sometime. "How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?" Humanity has lost its way......

patsrule213
She was likely born abroad, so don’t pretend that women may do as they like in Iran without consequences...... you know as well as the rest of the world life in Iran is far from awesome for women in particular. I have never been to Iran but I have been to Iraq and there Islam definitely doesn’t treat women as equal. Don’t act like this has anything to do with world politics, this has to do with bullshit, archaic beliefs ruining the lives of modern people, that’s all.
patsrule213 saw a documentary on Iran and I pitty the women born there, I would cut my throat before living in that society. That woman is twisted, in denial.
What a shame he's not with us anymore. The world would really benefit from having him around today.
While I agree with most of what he says, how would the world benefit from him? Do you really think anything he says has ever convinced people to drop their faith? That's not how religion works and that's not how people that fall for religions operate. I don't say it is impossible to turn theists into atheists but you surely cannot do that with cold logic and hard facts - if these people were receptive to logic and facts they would not be religious in the first place. And mocking them, calling them names, brutally de masking everything they believe in will reduce those slim chances even more by many, many factors because all it does is firing up their defence mechanisms. If you attack a person and/or their inner beliefs they are up in arms to protect their mind, it triggers the same run or fight mechanism that is triggered when you are in physical danger, if that person was at least a bit reasonable and rational, attacking them like this assures that last bit or reason will shut down, too.
The only thing he achieves is making atheists and agnostics feel better about their own beliefs and he can be watched for entertainment purposes but that's pretty much it.
@@Puschit1 "The only thing he achieves is making atheists and agnostics feel better about their own beliefs and he can be watched for entertainment purposes but that's pretty much it." Truth. Most of his fans seem to be angsty middle schoolers who don't want to go to church.

@@cephalosjr.1835 They are not. You were circumcised as a baby because your parents knew that as an adult man you would object to it and they thought you would not remember it anyways.

Christopher Hitchens was the person who helped me become an atheist. Thank you.
@vrsalcedo......Me too! To be honest, I have always been an atheist - but Hitchens eloquently explained why I feel that way and the reasons for utterly despising religion. You see, I have always respected other people's views [even if I don't agree with them].
So if people choose to worship God and believe there is this omnipotent power - it really pisses me off that they don't respect MY choice NOT to believe in that. I only regret that it took me so long to find Hitchens and appreciate his wisdom.

Well, that "instant classic" actually reveals a major weakness in atheism - logically proceeding from an atheist point of view, morality is ultimately nothing more than personal opinion - and there's no objective standard by which to judge, say, Hitler's opinion as being less valid than Mother Teresa's.
I am surprised at how little is required to impress some people.
@@BogartSlap as opposed to morality being based on an opinion someone wrote down 3000 years ago. If you need a book to tell you that Hitler's actions are immoral then thank God religion is there to stop people like you. For the rest of us, we'll carry on doing what we think is good

Well I would say most holy texts are very contradictory and if you are willing to cherry-pick your particular holy text than you will undoubtedly find what you are looking for..... but ask yourself this, is there anything within your holy book which could be interpreted as promoting violence? I think if you are being honest with yourself you know there is and that’s why we see people who claim to commit acts of violence in the name of Islam. Frankly, I feel all religious doctrines are created equal in that they are assertions of absolute knowledge without evidence and can all be dismissed without evidence.

@@crowsnest43 LOL! You another one of those people who completely ignores Leviticus 25:39-53 which states *"If your brother who lives nearby becomes poor and he has to SELL HIMSELF to you, you must not force him to do slave labor"* .
Verse 40, *"He should be treated like a HIRED WORKER"* .
Verse 43, *"You must not treat him cruelly"* .
Verse 44, *"Your male and female slaves are to come from the NATION'S AROUND YOU, from THEM you MAY buy a male or female slave"* (Because everybody did slavery in those days, because slaves were workers).
Verse 47, *"If a FOREIGN RESIDENT or settler among you becomes WEALTHY and your brother poor alongside him and must SELL HIMSELF to the FOREIGN RESIDENT or settler" etc*
Later in verse 49, *"or if he himself becomes WEALTHY, he may buy HIMSELF back"* (How can slaves do this if they were all Beaten and downtrodden as you atheists like to claim?)
Verse 50 *"He should calculate with his purchaser the time from the year HE SOLD HIMSELF" etc* (Doesn't sound like an abusive relationship, more like a business deal).
Verse 53 goes on to say that they are *NOT to be treated in a cruel way* also.
*Deuteronomy **15:12**-15 about setting slaves free.*
Verse 13 states, *"Do not send him* (the slave) *away empty handed"*
Verse 14, the slave master *"should supply him GENEROUSLY with something from your flock, your threshing floor and your press for oil and wine* (Livestock, agriculture and food were the main industries in those days) *just as God has blessed you, you should give to him"* (the slave).
Deuteronomy 23:15-16 states also, *"You should NOT hand over a slave to his master when he escapes from his master and comes to you. He may dwell among you in whatever place he chooses in one of your cities, wherever he likes, you MUST NOT MISTREAT HIM".*
Exodus 21:26-27 states, *"If a man strikes the eye of his slave man or slave girl and he destroys it, he is to let the slave go free in compensation"* .
Similarly with a tooth being knocked out in verse 27.
*Slavery was a last resort but voluntarily done and fairly dignified way for the poor to make a living and is NOT to be confused with Colonial slavery of the last 200 years or so.*
This is true because of the warning given in Exodus 21:16 which states, *"If anyone kidnaps a man and sells him or is caught holding him, he* (the kidnapper) *must be put to death".*
What were you saying about Bible slavery?
@@robertmcmillan3638
Hahaha.
Another bigot who dishonestly brings up only the small parts about Hebrew slavery, not the part of the fables that state slaves that can be captured or bought as property.
"Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."
"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are."
You can spin evil verses anyway you want to. But if you're claiming biblical tales are moral, then you've just demonstrated that you are an immoral person. Period. You could have said that what's in the bible is immoral and that christians don't believe slavery is moral. BUT you chose to defend owning humans, selling humans as property, and beating humans. Congratulations. And thank you for being a public, shining example of just how dishonest and immoral christans can be.

God allows people to do what they want.
It's part of having free will.
God also hates divorce as He intended for men and women to be married and stay married for life but he still allowed for Moses and the Israelites to write out divorce certificates even though He hates divorce.
EVERYBODY at the time in surrounding lands had slaves and probably treated their slaves worse (hence why God was telling the Israelites to NOT treat their slaves ruthlessly).
EVERYBODY did slaves in those days as they were primarily the workforce, but according to you atheist lot slavery is only bad when the Bible mentions it? 😂😂.
Post the scriptures that state that God Commands and Demands people have slaves and how He Commands and Demands that people mistreat them?
*You won't find any* as it was NEVER intended for people to fall in to poverty and hardship.
Thanks for showing yourself up as yet ANOTHER uneducated atheist spouting nonsense (is there any other kind?)
Doesn't matter what way you want to argue it, The super accurate scriptures that I posted in Deuteronomy 15:12-15, Deuteronomy 23:15-16 and Exodus 21:26-27 and Exodus 21:16 ALL state the same thing in that *Slave's are NOT TO BE MISTREATED!!*

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Jesus Christ died for your sins and mine. Was resurrected on the third day so that those who believe this and put their trust in what Christ Jesus has done for us on the cross (the shedding of his blood) would be saved and given the gift of eternal life.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (believe it or not).
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Hitchens is an inspiration to be free from religion. I thank him for being so open and welcoming in discussing truth about life.
the more increasingly apparent problem is though, we are at an age where in the western world for the most part the actual far right wing and criminal aspects of the christianfaith and church are eradicated but now you have armies of people completly without religion, so tinstead they subscribed to social justice in its place ad now you got a bunch of insane butthurt whiny millenials with no direction or spiritual meaning in their lives so all they know is to destroy and hate.
His opinion, not objective truth.
@The Bibliognost Just like the God worship. At least Hitchens existed.
Hitchens actually has a shallow opinion on religion enslaving or putting believers in chains. We get it-- he hates religion like so many arrogant libtards. But to many it is the opposite of being in chains. It frees many from the imprisonment of hate which seems to overtake so many liberals.
"I don't consider you an enemy."

Shame you misconstrued his words while doing it, he was a liberal and "destroyed" a lot more conservatives. Cause y'know... 99% of all fundamentalists are conservative
(To copy post from above)
I think you've got the definitions confused:
Left wingers are those on the left economically e.g. socialists, communists etc...
Liberals are the SJW movement you're referring to - those who e.g. want to limit free speech and accept Islam
Libertarians are those in favour of personal liberty, and separation of church and state.
Therefore Hitch (although he changed ideologies throughout his life) was most commonly known as a left wing libertarian (or something there abouts) as opposed to a liberal who is the complete opposite, and much more in keeping with social conservatives than libertarians.
Young, Ideological & Politically Naive Hitchens was a liberal, formerly he was a Marxist. Never a libertarian.
Young, Ideological & Politically Naive Look at you trying to justify your lie. Liberals aren't the 'sjw' movement. It's a meaningless phrase, just like 'pc'. You can twist what you said however you want, but from where I come from words don't change meaning just because some fool on the internet says so. Stop crossing wires, Hitchens wasn't a xenophobe

@@DD-te6oj - Yeah, I've read through quite a few of his postings here. He complains about ad hominems while insulting people he is ostensibly trying to proselytize to. And for someone who was trashing others for social ineptness, he seems unaware of the fact that insulting people you are trying to have a discussion with is a surefire way to drop the level of discussion. Sure, he's clearly more versed in arguing with his level of experience over the average YT-er, but he continuously refuses to address anything using anything other than deflections, pedantry, and scripture.
Because he is on this particular video, and because he appears to refuse to argue in good faith, I think it's safe to label him a troll. A troll with loads of time on his hands and a philosophy degree that he's simply using to play Roger Dodger with those he dislikes on the internet.

@@tinaa9231 Yes, Tina, I concur with you ... completely!
Haahhh gayyyyyyeeeeyyyyyyyiiaaa
very odd comment
"Take the risk of thinking for yourself. Much more happiness, truth, beauty & wisdom will come to you that way." What a sign off, how we miss him.
once i realised that religion was bullshit a dark cloud was lifted off me, as a 7 yr old i realised that if true then its just a sky dictator who watches you when you sleep knows what you think Religion forced on me from a very young age created serious mental issues i discovered Evolution and escaped all the dreadfulness of religion
The last and most honest person to have ever lived. We need another of him. Where is he or she now? I can only hope he or she presents themselves.
Crazy person: “blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah”
Chris: “yeah no”
"If I can't be erect, then at least I can be upright"...BRILLIANT!
I can't thank Hitch because he is stone dead, but I can thank all of you who keep him in your thoughts and spread his ideas.
Thank you.
Cool comment.
“Well, I’m dying… but so are you.” 👏
These people are so nice they're hardly religious at all.
One of the best lines ever spoken.
The man was a genius.
@@octoBadger no he was a drunk and appealed to a shallow thinking crowd
it's a funny line - i laughed - but it reveals a blinkered view. i'm not religious at all, but religion doesn't have to mean extraction, coercion, exclusion..
@@julianday8683
That depends on what your definition of a religion is.
At its core religion as described by Hitch and others is NOT about the freedom of the individual to experience their own unique life. It is about control and telling people how to live their lives in a manner that they have decided for them. Which means extraction, coercion and exclusion are the very tools used to try and control those that have a different view.
@@julianday8683 I agree, but I don't than that was the point. He wasn't attacking their religious nature, just pointing it that the virtues being extolled had nothing to do with their religion.
This guy was a legend. We need more Christopher Hitchens. Especially now
There are litterally millions of atheists trying their best to tell you exactly what Hitchens did. All you have to do is listen, learn and repeat to be your own version of him.
@@Traitorman..Proverbs26.11 I agree but very few have the charisma and quick wit Hitchens had
He's toast.
A blend of profound wit and tremendous courage ... all that and more ... that was Christopher Hitchens. The man was ... and continues to be ... a gift and a role model to all those who value rationality, logic, and free thought. I miss him tremendously. None like him.
Richard is still here to carry on the fight against the repulsive worldwide evil that is religion.
8:20 If you get a chance to watch this entire debate which features Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry - it is absolutely masterful. The Catholic Church sends 2 complete light weights against the collective brilliance of Hitchens and Fry - it is a beautiful sight to behold.
@@DaisyDuck-ib4ks Thanks ‘sweetie’. Chuckling at your assertion that I have a hateful heart. I don’t hate the Catholic Church - I despise it. I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school for 10 years. I really do know what I am talking about when I say that the Catholic Church is responsible for more evil in this world than people realize. Watch the debate versus trolling Christopher Hitchens posts.
The world of common sense greatly misses Chris Hitchens.
"...the bizarre belief of a cult like yours." You gotta love it. Hitch was one of a kind.
@Jazzkeyboardist1 Hahahahahahaha...
Perhaps you should check the meaning of 'one of a kind'. Your understanding of the term is 180° out.
@Richard Turpin - In what sense is his usage incorrect? Please explain. I double-checked the definition, just in case I'd been getting it wrong all these years. I hadn't. I'm curious to see what you believe the definition to be and/or why you believe it was used incorrectly.
@Jazzkeyboardist1 incoherent
@Jazzkeyboardist1 fuck you
great man who spoke the truth about a man written book. RIP
" If you don't consider me an enemy, you don't know an enemy when you see or hear one". Greatest quotes of all time.
Mark Twain said that it is easy to quit smoking, I have done it hundreds of times. No comparison to that enemy nonsense.
