Hitchens was an antisemite and a christian basher. He is forever burning in a lake of fire about now. Good riddance. The world will be a better place with out the SOB.
He also bashed Muslims and many other religions.Hitchens was an antisemite and a christian basher. He is forever burning in a lake of fire about now. Good riddance. The world will be a better place with out the SOB.

I like mythology as much as the next guy but your elitism is giving it a bad name.What I would give to see his face when he arrived at the gates of hell and realized that he was wrong and nothing can save him from eternal damnation.
That is not a very charitable perspective. We should trust to infinite mercy of God.What I would give to see his face when he arrived at the gates of hell and realized that he was wrong and nothing can save him from eternal damnation.

He met his Noodly Master! Ramen!
And here we have two sides of the same coin.What I would give to see his face when he arrived at the gates of hell and realized that he was wrong and nothing can save him from eternal damnation.
That's your opinion, and you could say the same thing about anyone who is good at what they do and makes money at it.
I've watched many debates, I've read a number of books and read alot of articles involving religion and world politics. Hitchens debates were always the best, his books were among my favorites and his articles were amongst the best I've read. To me that means something and I will miss his contributions.

He was, like me, a member of the International Socialism Group. They had a remarkably good education programme: he knew exactly what he was doing when he talked political gobbledegook for money.
No - he would have been opposing imperialism, as he knew very well - so he invented political illiteracies like 'Islamo-fascist' to make believe he was still human.
I don't understand this. In the country we were brought up in it wasn't an issue: he was doing this stuff because it went down big with Americans and brought in money.
Alas, like most people here, you are ignorant of socialism and know nothing of the International Socialist Group or - I fear - cultural history in the UK, so what exactly do you see as the point of this discussion?Such desires are earning you a ticket to sit alongside him in the great underneath.
Which political gobbledy-gook? The stuff where he starts thinking independently of the socialist collective? And what's wrong with making money?
You haven't defended your comparison to Darwin and Huxley. They were about promoting evolutionary theory with God's existence not necessarily at stake, Hitchens primarily focussed on the dangers religion bring to society and geopolitics. Darwin and his bulldog wouldn't have touched that issue, nor does Hitchens go in to great detail about science in his talks or writings.
He didn't invent that term. And he wasn't human now, cause he broke away from the devout socialist flock? He opposed Islamic imperialism, communist and western imperialism throughout the course of his career.
Since you erroneously compared his anti-religious debating style to Huxley, I would have to say you never read or heard Hitchens speak on the issue (otherwise I'd have to doubt your fantastic education on Darwin) or were going in prepared to dislike what he said because he betrayed your "cause" by arguing for universal human rights.
No.Lust for perpetual torture of an individual and mockery of religion are two sides of the same coin?
Although he was all over the map when it came to his political positions and God I liked to hear Hitchins interviewed. I hope God will forgive him for his hatred. May he rest in peace.
I miss him.
