Why I love and respect Christopher Hitchens: I'm an Ex-Christian, monotheist that believes in the NDE narrative. (NOT a religion) Couldn't stand being called a Christian, from the way they treated non-Chrisitians and a whole bunch of other discrepancies of This Church! Hitchens gives to Religion; what religion has been giving to humanity for 1,500 years. If this was a life of tit for tat kind of attitude. 50 million Christians gone missing would be messy.

Not ashamed to announced here that, Professor Christopher Hitchens throughout his books and debates have provided me with more consolation, Wit and knowledge than any Church, priest or religious apologist. Long live the brilliance of one History's all times greatest orators and polymaths. Hitchens eloquence and dialogues always provoke a reaction in the minds of all of Us free thinkers.

I have an endless appetite for these Best Of videos. There's so much of him posted that he continues to teach and love and respect us. Some losses are hard to take.
Just watching lots of CH clips, he lived through my era, my ignorance, love his honesty
Hitchens was the modern day Shakespeare.
Why I love and respect Christopher Hitchens: I'm an Ex-Christian, monotheist that believes in the NDE narrative. (NOT a religion) Couldn't stand being called a Christian, from the way they treated non-Chrisitians and a whole bunch of other discrepancies of This Church! Hitchens gives to Religion; what religion has been giving to humanity for 1,500 years. If this was a life of tit for tat kind of attitude. 50 million Christians gone missing would be messy.
