The religious always look and sound so petty next to Christopher Hitchens. The benefit of arguing for reality and being a true humanist.

Thank you, Susan, for encouraging people to do their own research. Between your and David Rohl's work, my understanding of history (and human nature!) has been greatly enhanced. When research is called "polemics", the declines of empires I read about in your "History of the Ancient World" seems to be a very real threat. Insisting that textual error be accepted as doctrine doesn't bode well for anyone--whether they're a "virgin" or not.

The whole part of Wilson saying that a person being born in Saudi Arabia is better to be an atheist than a Muslim since he can still make a journey to Jesus is the height of hypocrisy and hubris. Typical Christian arrogance. Wilson is a monster and he doesn’t even know it

Lol I was offered a scholarship during my high school senior year in 2012 and I met D'Souza right before he was outed as having an affair and two years before he'd be convicted of fraud. I could smell a rat when D'Souza went on about how NYC is such a morally debased place and how only his little morally righteous, Evangelical house on a hill could spread the gospel to these lecherous New Yorkers. It honestly seemed like a cult. Also, D'Souza being outed as a hypocrite who couldn't even be faithful to his wife was just the perfect cherry on top of the Sundae of hypocrisy. Needless to say, I did not go to this college. And I'm very glad I didn't. In 2023, they lost accreditation, meaning the degrees all its alumni acquired are now useless and they have to all start over. Talk about dodging a bullet. Also, the college is de facto closed, so they can't even appeal the loss of accreditation. Who would've thought a cult masquerading as a genuine place of higher education was a bad place for students to attend?

This is vaudeville wherein a misguided humourist chooses to earn a good living debating arrogant wankers. Altho Wilson is reasonable in his demand mankinds' rebellion be killed one sin at a time. "By what standard" is a revealing condemnation based in Wilsons desire for wishful thinking and Yahweh empowerment.I call this notion collective retardation but it includes all of the collected evils of a strange vermin like species. Yeshua be Jesus was often condemned by Christian scholars for his unusual perfection.

hitch was the most secular puritan i've seen. his ability to dodge questions of morality while simultaneously shaming people for not displaying the values of a good protestant seperatist is deserving of a medal in mental gymnastics.
@FightXScience-wh6kx9 ай бұрын
Protestant values? Protestants believe in predestinationism. Hitchens didn't. Protestants believe in the priesthood of believers. Hitchens didn't. Protestants believe in salvation through grace. Hitchens didn't. Protestants believe in the profession of faith alone. Hitchens didn't. Protestants believe in divine command theory. Hitchens didn't. Protestants affirm the 10 commandments. Hitchens didn't. Protestants believe that Jesus is the son of God and God exists. Hitchens didn't. Yours is a moronic line of reasoning, an absolute dead-end, but I'm sure instead of defending it from these charges you'll cower away from this intellectual challenge and just repeat the same stale narrative in the future.

Mathematics exists in this universe. There has always been the case, and will always be the case, that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle is a constant, Pi. Like God, mathematics exists outside time and is immune to the second law of thermodynamics because it does not decay, it is immortal, eternal, always truth. But mathematics does not want to control your personal life. She doesn't get upset if in the privacy of your life you play with your private parts. The state (king, president, troika, etc.) needs to control your life, otherwise there is no state but perpetual revolution. To control your life religion is a great tool: the vigilante is inside you. In all societies the high priest accompanies the king in official ceremonies.
