    No one could beat Christopher Hitchens in any of religions arguments. Not only because of his reasoning faculties but his ability to deliver his message in witty and humours way that can reach the audience. Remember it is easy to believe that God exists but it is hard to be an atheist, which makes you free from human stupidity and ignorance. When I watch the rabbi speak the first time in other video, I was shocked and then Christopher said “religion makes morally normal people to do bad things, and you just proved my point “ I was deeply satisfied with that statement.

    I agree with Mr. Hitchens, but I have a criticism. Secular society needs to create more places where people can gather and engage in various activities. Social media just doesn't cut it. Of course, a secular society absolutely _can_ do this, but the motivation _to_ do this seems much less pressing without the idea of eternal rewards and eternal damnation. These extreme motivations cause people to cough up tithes to keep the "club" going. Like many others in the growing number of "nones," I do not believe in an immortal soul. So, how can we create secular social outlets without extreme rewards and threats? No one seems particularly interested in doing so, at least where I live. Perhaps it's because my home is infested with churches? Or maybe it's because the promise of huge rewards and extreme threats is far more motivating? It's also toxic as hell (literally), but you get my point, yes? Unfortunately, in my area, people are far too caught up in their church clubs to form secular clubs. Perhaps necessity is the mother of invention and there's simply no necessity in many areas of the country.

    Not a fan of Hitchens. He passes judgement in exactly the same way as the Christians he criticizes do. He take literally - not figuratively, metaphorically, etc. - everything the so-called Christians he criticizes also do. He does not address any other metaphysical/religious world-wide traditions outside of the Abrahamic ones. That is, he does not account for the universal existence of metaphysical belief systems or that they evidently have been with us humans since we split off from other hominids/primates. There is no evidence, for instance, that our current primate cousins live in fear every minute of their lives, that gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, etc. spend their lives hiding in case some predator comes along. Archaeological evidence shows that, from the beginning, human understanding of nature (or projecting onto nature) includes another dimension or significance of existence, purpose, origins, etc.. If this was just a mistake, I would think that evolutionary processes would have eliminated it by now. Hitchens has some hang up that he is either unaware of or refuses to address.

    "take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness will come your way..." Christopher Hitchens.... "Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your mind," Jesus of Nazareth (in his greatest teaching).... "The Kingdom of God has come near, metanoia, and believe this good news" Jesus of Nazareth. At the heart of Jesus' message is metanoia - defined most accurately as a change of perspective, and of mind. Unfortunately, Jerome translated this Koina Greek word into the Latin translation as "repent." Where religionists erred as "you are a bad person and need a savior." What we are in a battle with today are the literalists, of all stripes - those who say DO NOT THINK. At the heart of true spirituality (as taught by Jesus, and others) is thinking and a change of heart. Take the risk of thinking for yourself - and see that goodness is in your midst. Oh, but those babies that are dying of hunger, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Those who practice this love of others, (for example Mother Theresa (et al) are doing something about it. Unfortunately there are those among us who just consume everything on the planet for their happiness. Consequently we are in a race to the bottom- capitalism, greed, ego is in reality the causes of war, and hunger.

    What is it God asks again?, to love unconditionally.
    God loves you and extends an open invitation to be with Him, but you are free to decline.
    I know the all arguments of an atheist, because I was an atheist for 24 years and an argumentative one at that..
    Consider that it is the people who misrepresent themselves as christians, who give christianity a bad name.
    Jesus was quite outspoken about the hypocrisy of religious leaders, who knew nothing of God, but only sought their own glory, not knowing God.
    “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
    “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward."
