[@cheapbastard990]

Mister G is quite correct. Hitchens supported free speech, something the left never has and are attacking on a daily basis. But I have to ask what you mean by "Christian hypocrisy in 2019". Are you mindlessly parroting the usual narrative that because Trump is such a flawed personal character, then the Christians are hypocritical by their failure to instead support radical leftist democrats who oppose everything they stand for? I've been atheist for over half a century, I stopped believing in gods and Santa and the tooth fairy around the same time. But there is nothing at all hypocritical about Christians supporting terribly flawed people who do the right thing otherwise. Their bibles (yes, it's plural) illustrate that as a common theme. The stories are littered with terribly flawed characters doing their god's work. Trump is a saint compared to the horrendous flaws of Abraham and King David and even Moses, for just a few examples.

[@wholefoodhoney7310]

Mister G he would in his hole! Trump is literally the complete opposite to him in every way! Hitchens hates Hannity and Trump IS Hannity. He would have hated a hypocrite and liar like Trump. Trump is a hate mongerer. He would have said the exact same about Trump that he says about Falwell. Christ you people are delusional

[@christisking1316]

Hitchens was at least truthful in His epistemology, He Hated the God that he believed did not exist! Whether you agreed with Falwell or not, Both He & Hitchens ( as all men) will have to give an account for their Deeds on that Great & Terrible Day.

For exp: your stand on gun control should not Predict your stance on abortion. Millions of Americans have a blind like faith in their parties platform just like a religion. Either candidate in the 2016 general election could have literally have shot someone and easily 80% of their constituents would still have voted for them, if it didn’t get them more.

@frankos rooni Hitchens was extremely intelligent, witty, and had a tremendous ability to debate. I must confess that I was often awed by the breadth and depth of his knowledge. I was not always in disagreement as to his interesting insights. However I believe he was as much the huckster ( in different garb) as was Fallwel or Billy Graham. He made a good dime denigrating and mocking religion just as Falwell and Graham made a good dime aggrandizing it all of them for personal gain. Consider (if you will...and if you will fairly evaluate) Hitchens wrote a book about Mother Teresa (after she died of course) denigrating her and assassinating her character. One would expect to have seen at least one singular footnote in that vicious and mean-spirited little book. And to be fair there ought to have been many footnotes, not just one. After all it was he himself who said that great claims require great evidence. He made great claims as to Mother Teresa in is little book but provided no solid evidence other than hearsay, scuttlebutt and innuendo. And to the extent he was assassinating the character of this Nobel Peace Prize winner his book was beneath Hitchens' own dignity. As a case in point he attacked Mother Teresa for taking money from Charles Keating who had been convicted in the Lincoln Saving and Loan debacle. The implication was that she received ill-gotten gains and never gave it back. However Hitchens failed to mention a very important fact, that is Mother Teresa received that money 10 years prior to his conviction. That is an extremely important omission. Lies are not only committed by commissions but omissions as well. There were other similar examples in that nasty little book. I love the truth regardless of the direction it cuts. At the end of the day Hitchens had more than a little of the demagogue in him.
