Religion is purely based on emotion. There’s no logic or fact behind it. If it’s one of the three dreaded Abrahamic religions then you’ve got to the deal with the “either you’re with me or you’re my enemy” mentality.

Dude got hitchslapped so hard he screamed his whole speach.

PSA: If you're wearing headphones, or turned up the volume to bask in Hitch's wit, turn down the volume at around 39:10 in preparation for raving lunacy.

The bad habits of a preacher : If I shout, people will surely be impressed and they will stop thinking ! FAIL !

When stripped of your basic humanity for several months to a few years for acts that are deemed by and profited by religious,corporate interests with no recourse whatsoever will steer thinking in a certain direction. A person who lacks internal fortitude facing the all mighty us government most often turns to religion honestly or in most cases taking and having to pass religious education just to be released early. It's pure evil, even by the standards of the Ole haysews de krisco

The rabbi thinks that increasing the volume of his voice increases the validity of his arguments, or he could just be getting angry that he is losing to Hitchens so badly.

Schmuley is a science-illiterate irrational idiot. The more he doesn’t have a case the louder he yells. Hitch slaughtered him.

The Jewish dude is too screechy, does the pleading hand gestures, angry spurts of personal attacks and false humility. In other words, Hitchens didn't need to say anything to defeat him in debate.

Thanks for posting. Interesting to compare Hitch's approach to this debate back in 04 to his debates years later after he wrote god is not great. So sorry he's left the stage forever, but KZread is a great consolation. Thanks again.

I'm forcefully reminded of the US series the office, and the scene where Jim is advising Dwight on how to give a speech, and says that you must speak loudly and wave your hands and pound your fist on the podium so as to emphasize your point. And then hands him a speech written by Mussolini for study practice.

Rabi goes back home: See how I yelled at them and they couldn’t yell back at me. Thats the power of god. Hitchens: mentally face palms about every 3 seconds as the rabbi screams and yells and spits everywhere.

A debate between a great thinker and a mental gymnast. Christopher was never evenly matched.

I cannot listen to caterwauling, hysterical, maniacal Shmuley Boteach.

He sounds like the nuts you hear on the corner.I dont dislike him because he is Jewish, I dislike because of the way he debates. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Nelson Mandela,, “Don't raise your voice, improve your argument."

The rabbi lost the debate the moment he started ranting and shouting in order to make his point, which was roughly the few minutes of his opening statement. Hitch never raised his voice once.

So Rabbi Shmuley's debating strategy is to come out and yell his personal beliefs as loudly as possible, hoping that people are so taken aback by the volume that they don't check his facts? What a strange fellow.

Wow !!! I didn't know how much more valid your argument is if you scream it !!!

39:00 onwards - Dunning-Kruger effect in full force. Utter despair.

Finding a new Hitch video is like revelation (Oxymoron I know). Rest in peace Hitch.

57:15 "If you find me inaudible, please let me know" Never misses a chance to make a joke. What a legend.

Shmuley is the absolute king of ad hominem fallacious argumentation strategies.

I thought one of advances of man was the microphone. Religionists, whatever you say about their arguments, have not yet discovered THIS advance.

did you notice that in the beginning the rabbi have the wrong definition of the term atheist?

this guy's screaming is hilarious. i cant even tell what he is saying because hes so riled up.

Epic. Despite the horrible sound.

Hitchens fan here, but I laughed at the end where that guy who introduced the debaters said that he was “sworn to neutrality during this debate.” He thought he was simulating neutrality in that introduction?

After Boteach reached about 10 Godwins, I stopped counting.

Shmuley is terrible.Just offers nothing but bile in my opinion. he could do much better. His facts are all just memorized biblical quotes, hes like a loud parrot.

Shmuley you're distorting the audio my man 😂

Stop yelling at me!!! It doesn't make your point any more true. This Rabbi could not be more annoying if he tried.

it seems that shmuley haven't notice that there is a mic in front of him

Someone should’ve told the rabbi this was a debate and not a service.

Furthermore, the Bible itself in its underlying structure has purpose to the way it is constructed that goes far beyond the ability of ancient peoples just to make up from whole clothe while maintaining consistency of the text throughout. There are layers of structure and layers of meaning that derive from the language, from the arrangement of the words, from the arrangement of the letters, frequency, etc.

45 minute mark cracks me up.

The moral case for God is "thou shall not kill?" and that this is absolute and sacred? That was a poor choice, and fairly empty morality - also pre-dated by the Code of Hammurabi which was not a revelation from Yaweh. (note, Hitchens gave him the out of "thou shall not murder," but it wasn't accepted or noted) After listing people killed by various dictators, the Rabbi quickly transitioned to "just war" rhetoric about Iraq ... but, didn't God say no killing? Is "just war" just harsh words?

True, but millions of people would've lived and not been enslaved in the various religion-induced genocides that leave a stain on the history of mankind.

And just like that he lights his cigarettes. Oh! How I miss Hitchens.

When I read the comments about a screaming or “passionate” rabbi, I would not have believed it. He speaks that the Bible gives us the “sanctity of life” arguments, while he conveniently forgets the genocide and “Divine” commandments for slavery. He follows the usual apologetics. How much applause should a person get who is willing to injure people’s ears with a microphone? Cruel and unusual punishment.

It's always a great debate to see someone who has a level head (hitchens) and someone else who is one big pile of emotion... how could that not be interesting?

did we watch the same debate?

havoc, Please expand on your knowledge of the tenets of paganism. What cultures have you studied, Celt, Greek, Roman, Saxon, Illyrian ?What tribes have you studied? What were your sources ? Or was your statement simply a vacuous assertion ?

The praise Hitch gave Wilson had a double edge... He praised his loyalty & accepting the Bible as it is w/o back peddling & excuses for the nasty bits ...He essentially accepted "God" for the monster it's depicted as ...

Reccomend valium or barring that at minimum decaf.

Craig never challenged him either. Hitchens reserved his highest praise for Tim Rutten and Doug Wilson.

This bearded guy is a pain in my ears, he's also massively deluded.

Intelligence and common sense, that's all it takes. No God's, anywhere.. Apart from the ones in your head.

Debate "Hitchens and the Angry Jew"

Intro melody appears to be in Swedish, which is my native language.. yet I can't understand much of what is sung

If the audio hadn’t been so badly out of sync with the video i would have enjoyed it more. That said, these two debated at least four times over the years and here’s the score: Hitchens - 4 Shmuley - 0 If this was the NBA finals it would be curtains for ol’ Shmules…

How can Shmuley represent anyone... A good argument is always better if you respect your audience.

Sorry Rabbi. You LOST the moment you started yelling.

Rabbi, screaming and ranting in an unintelligible way doesn't strengthen your case, it only makes you look like a fool and is rather embarrassing to witness as a viewer. The truth is scary, there are no saviors, politicians or aliens that are going to save us and rescue us from the dilemma of being human. Accepting this realization and not retreating into the cozy mental and infantile safety of religion is to accept the terrible responsibility of being a truly conscious human being.

If the rabbi is so secure in his position, why is he shouting it?

... At what point did anyone say anything anti-semitic?

The one thing to take away from this debate is that, if he actually believes what he spouts, Jacob Shmuel Boteach must never, ever stop believing it. For the good of all mankind.

Godwin's Law, Rabbi..... Godwin's Law...

The books allowed into the anthology are allowed based specifically on their consistency. That you haven't studied the stuff in context is your problem, not ours. And when you guys run on at the lip over "inconsistencies," they always wind up to be issues where you don't know what you're talking about, haven't bothered with context, and take issue anyway. Seems that Critiques of the Bible are required to forget basic grammer and word use.

11:29 , glad i could help.

im glad he debating shmooly god

I might further say that if the general public were as ADHD when it comes to reading for comprehension as Bible Critics are, the world would be illiterate and the Book publishing business would dry up. There are apparent contradictions if one doesn't know his stuff. When one does, not so much. Can't say I'm immediately aware of any paradoxes caused in the scriptures either. They may turn normative human sense on it's ear now and then because humans don't look at things the same way God does.

I couldn't take the Rabbi seriously after the 'one inch closer or farther away from the sun and it would burn or freeze' comment... If that were true, any large earthquake would kill all life on the planet.

1:31

Rabbi Shmuley is quite funny.

Funniest part of this is when the titanus rabbi was bellowing about evolution being a disproven theory that has no transitional forms to speak of, the camera goes to hitchens. Lol it is the closest to actual mind reading ive ever come to haha.

As long as an individual needs or wants an anthropomorphic god they will psycho-spiritual need and/or want one. Only those who can deal with uncertainty and thus who are willing to think for themselves will outgrow an anthropomorphic god. And yet, thinking requires making choices that go beyond holy books and what many of the great sages have said about this or that. It means sometimes standing against the majority. Jesus found out the truth of that first hand... and you might too. And yet, do I believe in God? Yes, but not a god made in the image of man... 'the big Santa Clause'. I believe in an omnipresent and omniscient God-Universe... directly in front of each us. I believe the Truth is... Self-evident. CVD

Surely there must have been a rigid contract, to compel Hitchens to sit through the rantings of a fanatic that was sold to him as a "debate".

Wiped. The. Floor.

Shmuley reminds me of Tuco from breaking bad

In light of the hawking epstein island revelation. Shmuleys comment he likes to hold babies seems a bit weird.
