Wild guess but id say the italian mafia took a distant back seat to the drug cartels a long time ago.

That’s an interesting response that I’ve heard before but fundamentally I still think there is validity to the initial question

"Mysticism is the claim to the perception of some other reality---other than the one in which we live---whose definitionis only that it is not natural, it is supernatural, and has to be perceivedby some form of unnatural or supernatural means." -Ayn Rand-

I don't have that daemon or what ever the fuck he says

I do not know and I do not care. This has become my mantra of late. Having lived for 70 years on this planet and having been interested and integral in my role as a human, I finally arrived at this place. I was involved and excited about two things early in life. Those two things were politics and religion. Around my forties I dropped out of both. I could see no reason for continuing in them.. After this, I had an epiphany that had been ruminating for decades in my mind. My conclusion was that since no one consulted anyone before being thrown into this thing called life, we could all be considered either prisoners or slaves or both. Therefore, I am not a citizen of any place and I do not care what happens to the human race. I am simply passing the time until the day when I am no more. Some have told me that my outlook is depressing and dismal. On the contrary, I have found it quite liberating. I do not have to wrestle with nor fear anything in this existence. I perceive it all as one would perceive going to the movies. It is simply entertainment.😀

God does not give you what you desire. I love when religious, Magic Jesus theologians, lose an argument, they quickly resort to pointless threats from a non exsistant being. "Apollo is waiting for the right momment to strike" "Posideon will cause a storm." "God wills it." And the BEST belief that a christian holds dear. "The father, son, and holy ghost are one." That is called multiple personality disorder.

This man was pure Class damn 😮

♦"Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool." ♦"Only fools revere the supernatural myths just bc a book claims itself to be the holy truth." ♦"The delusional religious fools are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt." ♦"The religious believe by the millions what only lunatics could believe on their own." ♦"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." ♦"It's difficult to free fools from the chains they revere."

Unfortunately in life, for many orators it's either style over substance or substance over style. Hitch was a rare breed who had style and substance together.

*blowhard* (noun): a person who blusters and boasts in an unpleasant way.

Religion builds hospitals, homeless shelters, food banks, schools, colleges, universities, daycare centers, emergency charities and many other beneficial institutions What does atheism do for anyone other than themselves? NUTHIN. atheists are the most selfish, self-centered aholes on the planet Name an atheist charity lol

I'm against abortion, but it is killing a child. I just disagree with people saying it's a parasite

Christopher is derived from the Greek name Christóforos, meaning “bearer of Christ.” This name is composed of two ideas: Christós ("Christ") and phero ("to bear, carry").

At the end when the guy said “God gives you what you desire”. I think a more accurate sentence would read “God gives you your desires”.

'Why don't you just stay at home?' I do...then you knock at my door and try and force your bronze age superstition upon me.

Why was that little sh*t Turek ever on the same stage as Hitchens?

He’s not arguing that abortion is a punishment like god destroying cities Abortion is to spare it the suffering usually of being deformed or having no quality of life..arguably, life be the punishment.

stalling, stalling, avoiding, avoiding etc etc

We’re still having this talk 2024 15 years and it’s got worse hitch was right

Ridiculous. Just pure baffle.

read science speaks by peter stoner and discover how wrong are atheists or perhaps read the bible

Hitchens is saying Islam plagiarises Christianity and Christianity plagiarises Judaism and he might possibly say that Judaism plagiarises an even earlier previous religion, what i dont understand is how far back can you keep saying that and what exactly lies at the beginning of that process..??? Serious question please answer..???

So what is his answer?

I never knew that nimrod debated Hitchens.

Missing you Hitch.

Photons have no Mass,Frank...so don't measure time or space..they are essentially infinite..

To say the Universe needs a Cause is a Fallacy of Composition..the Universe didn't come from Absolute Nothing..Frank and Craig are wrong

The Universe needs no Cause...The idiot Frank The Crank is a Liar kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXKnaHuVmd-Ci68si=pHL2eBchJo_giLLV

A hero of multiculturalism and freedom! What we did to our allies the Kurds was appalling and there should have been consequences and tribunals.

Christopher Hitchens could fart more compelling arguments than Frank Turek could ever think of.

Weakness of human are desire and fear, knowing this an organisation called religion was created to exploit these gullible people, once money and authority was established the religion survive so long, it is Deep conditioning right from child birth and constant difficulty in living pushes individuals to these cults.

Frank Turek got destroyed in this debate. Absolutely destroyed.

This is the sacage takedown of religion I've ever seen.

Why did Christoper Hitchens bother debating with fools..

With lies Islam dies, with machetes and knives Islam thrives

Interesting...as always from Hitchens. Talking to yourself as greater sanity, that is, as opposed to being hyper-linear when Freud's superego is that which is imposed and imposing? So, if the ID is primal and base, does not then his ego as balancer serve as our Damon? How so? How not so?

I wish he was here today. He made sense out of the senseless. He knew everything and all of it. The man was a wonder and I hope that is of comfort to his wife and daughter.

“Dr Turek”?! Dr??? Are we in the twilight zone or something, or he a “Dr” in the same sense Kent Hovind is a “Dr” 😂

How sure can we be that here he wasn't only defending property rights?

I would have asked Turek "if there was no god, would you rape? Yes or no."

"Why do people behave well when nobody's looking". Because they'll feel bad. That's all. We evolved that way because if we hadn't, we wouldn't have survived.

His answer yo purpose is to bring it down to a human level of experience. Clear example of an animalistic dominated intellectual individual with no wisdom of the spiritual realm.

Benzin is not a molecule, it is a mix. Putting two people with such unequal IQs is unfair...

"If Christianity is true, why isn't the weight of that truth self-evident?" "It is because Christians build hospitals." Cringe.

Is religious indoctrination moral harassment ?
