ATHEISM poisons everything, smashing hope, beauty, family, inciting murder, robbery, rape, pillaging, sexual perversion, every evil imaginable is prevented by the beauty of JC life n Christianity.

Hitchens was the first person I heard to spoke the concepts I expressed in my head but never laid out infront of me. He gave me the tools to proudly leave my religion. I owe my critical anti-theist beliefs to him and I hope many people hear his words for years to come

Mozart with Hitchens? awesome. is that ai voice?

That’s funny me too

Mr hitchens conclusions are all wrong. A very misguided book

This compilation should be named "Christopher Hitchens Listens To Charlie Rose Run His Mouth." Another way we know there is no justice in the world is that CR is still alive and CH has passed. A terrible miscarriage. They should both be still alive, and Mr. Hitchens should still be enlightening us.

I have pork chops, cooked, in my refrigerator. My cats love the fat. The "other white meat" or "the other, other white meat", fat bustard. (human babies)

i was there 😊

Hitchens may not have had benevolence as one of his motives for his writing, but his respect and solicitude for us humans comes through. I sure miss him.

37:39 awh the Rocky phone case :(

Its so upsetting to see what happened to his friend group in the new atheists after he died. Was Hitchens always the only genuine one out of the lot of them? Was him being their intellectual centre and base what actually kept them from brain melting? Without a doubt, the greatest author, orator, journalist and polymath of our time. We have people that may reach near to Hitchens in one category, but it was impossible to appreciate in the moment truly how great he was. I hope Carol has been able to find happiness again after Hitch died, their love was amazing to see, just how much they respected and adored each other. Without Hitchens, Sam Harris has turned to brain mush and talks utter rubbish about many things he doesn't understand. One the one hand we can think, thank god Hitch died before he could see what happened to the new atheist movement, Dawkins becoming a demented old fool using the thinking he spent decades fighting, calling himself "culturally Christian", Harris playing into the fash movements and giving them way too much benefit of the doubt, like how he used to just glug and gargle Musk's balls. On the other hand, I think Hitchens would have been the first to call out Dawkins and Harris, the idea that Hitchens of all people would support Dawkins' transphobia is laughable, the guy was openly queer and I find it hard to believe Hitch didn't have encounters with trans women given his reputation

I just love his dissection of Hanukkah and the destruction of the Mysteries. “We might have been spared the whole thing”, meaning the millennia of monotheistic domination which followed. What a fateful day.

I'll never forget taking the train into NYC to Grand Central. This was less than a month after 911 and there were pictures of missing people posted everywhere. Coming out of Grand Central you could still smell death in the air. I'll never forget it.

Now no longer available on Audible… 🧐

listening to this every night while falling asleep in order to develop a bewildering new charisma

YES!!! I was at this show, the final concert at the Coliseum (pro wrestling was final event before implosion). Had drinks across the street at Cafe Nine beforehand. Thanks for posting!

🎉2025❤

Hoo- wee! A real barn- burner! Love it! Caint hep it!

I detest how Charlie Rose interrupts as Hitchens is talking. Is Rose on crack? Dear Lord, he’s twitchy as hell.

5 minutes in and I'm already sick of the fucking interviewer just talking over CH constantly 🙄

I was at that show and considering the angle, i was probably pretty close to the camera.

Thank you for this

It is like an animal saying humans are not great for not eating their fellow humans... An atheist cannot be a better god than GOD..

Over a decade later, still one of the funniest things on the Internet. This and the Walt Whitman episode in particular are pure gold.

God loves you BUT he needs money, always more money and he can't handle money😂

Thanks for this gift❤

Thank you for this ❤ the more I am listening, the more I am captivated.

Thank you for sharing this sublime audio book. I adored this man.❤

Who’s here, listening to this bright mind in 2025? RIP Christopher Hitchens. Over a decade since you’ve been gone and you still touch our minds and hearts! You’ll never be forgotten!

There will never be anyone quite like Hitchens. His views on religion are spot on and I am thankful for his wisdom and courage.

His voice will go on. Thank you.

Worst interviewer ever.

No doubt the late Mr. Hutchins has changed his mind about whether there is a god; at least he seems to have forgotten the fact of the matter. I guess I will listen to enough of this book to give it the old thumbs down. Continually conflating religion with god is the epitome of ignorance. Am I wrong in this observation? I expect to find near endless prattle. Hold my nose and sally forth.

What words would he have for his frightened friend Ayan Hersi Ali whose now an American Christian nationalist

Every national church or religion has established itself by pretending some special mission from God, communicated to certain individuals. The Jews have their Moses; the Christians their Jesus Christ, their apostles and saints; and the Turks their Mahomet, as if the way to God was not open to every man alike. Each of those churches show certain books, which they call revelation, or the word of God. The Jews say, that their word of God was given by God to Moses, face to face; the Christians say, that their word of God came by divine inspiration: and the Turks say, that their word of God (the Koran) was brought by an angel from Heaven. Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all. -from the Age of Reason by Thomas Paine (1794)

I was kicked out of bible study by asking where Abel and Cain’s wives came from. I knew then it was a fairy tale.

Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford and known to have been working for the CIA, spying on fellow students.

I had tickets to this show but I foolishly sold them to Dave Fisher 😢

funny how charlie rose won't shut his idiot mouth in this interview. let hitch talk

I don't need to be a snob when it comes to making fun of people of faith. I'm only writing about some of the comments below that have an air of false superiority seasoned with an inflated ego like we know the secrets. I don't know crap; why get bent out of shape over this topic? I 100% feel in my heart and know in my mind that god was invented by humans; mostly as a form of social control. I don't mind/bully people that believe. I am not an atheist nor do I believe in any concept/construct of any god. I am just Larry trying to be a good human. That's hard enough. If people have a faith in some form of a god, good for them. In a way, I am envious, but too rational to embrace that kind of faith. I do think in another 200 years, people will be more enlightened. For now, relax and keep thinking.

i only post this in hopes other failure fans who love tool will take note. we lost all of the old and if in hand i am hunj. cold slab floors and coconut.
