Christopher Hitchens, still outrageous

Steve Kroft profiles Vanity Fair columnist, author and public intellectual Christopher Hitchens, for whom nothing is off-limits when making his wry and often outrageous observations, including the cancer he is suffering from.

He was a joke with empty followers. Hitch who pretends to know the bible as he screws up on it over and over again including what faith means biblically. --"Faith is the surrender of the mind, it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other animals. It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. ... Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated”-- Christopher Hitchens Now, look at what biblical faith really means that Hitch the liar didn't even look at: Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us. Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. crossexamined.org/biblical-faith-vs-blind-faith/ www.truthortradition.com/articles/what-does-the-bible-say-about-faith www.revisedenglishversion.com/Appendix/16/Faith_is_Trust www.truthortradition.com/articles/faith-a-confident-expectation-of-gods-promises-coming-to-pass www.truthortradition.com/articles/hebrews-1-11-and-faith Hitchens always went into evasive word farting to avoid key questions like how we got the creation of the universe. Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We can't even get science without God. The laws of nature only can come from a Lawgiver, God. Only shallow people follow Hitchens.

It's our need to believe and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. ... Out of all the virtues, all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated”-- Christopher Hitchens Now, look at what biblical faith really means that Hitch the liar didn't even look at: Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.

Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.

Atheism is a religion. The definition of atheism is a lack of a belief in God. If it was just that it wouldn't be a religion, but it's not just that. Atheism goes well beyond that. Atheists have their own holy book, Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion. Atheists have their own church, reason rally and atheist clubs at college. They have their own preachers, youtube atheists. They have their own evangelists, youtube atheists. They have their own denominations, atheism plus, anti theists, skeptics, humanists. They have their own belief in miracles, the big bang theory. They have their own propaganda. They have their own political agenda, taking in God we trust off of money, teaching evolution in schools, gay rights, abortion. Richard Dawkins wrote a 500 page book about how much he doesn't believe in God. That's like writing a book about not collecting stamps...

@@RobotNinjaDestroyer Definition of religion: the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

It's not holy though is it? Plenty of people are atheists without ever having read any of these books. Teaching evolution in school is not a political agenda. It's science - the truth. Even if atheists had their own propaganda, their own "holy" book, their own "preachers", they still wouldn't be religious as you must believe in some form of god/deity in order to be religious, which directly contradicts the what an atheist is.

I discovered Hitch about 3 years after he'd died, I was watching one of his many debates one night before bed when I heard some interviewer mention cancer and I felt my heart skip a beat or two at the mention, I'd only known about the man for less than a week and already I had grown an attachment to him, almost like a father figure. I quickly googled his name and felt a wave of sadness wash over me as I read his google obituary. It's a strange feeling to have to be told your hero of all but a week, the hero you never thought you had or never knew existed was now beyond your reach before you even had the chance to write him a letter. He existed within my lifetime but I was too caught up in other nonsense to notice him before it was his turn to check out, at the time I was an alcoholic and smoked a 20 pack of BnH silvers a day, I looked at Hitchens demise and decided a lifestyle change should be in my future, so I gave it all up, I'm now smoke free of around 4 years and I haven't consumed nearly a 10th of what I would usually consume, a happy coincidence is that Hitchens favorite brand of whisky happened to be Johnie Walker black label, a whisky I would almost always choose on nights out or indeed nights in, I even have a bottle of their white walker sat on my desk next to me for special occasions.
