Thank you Mrs Hitchens. I found Mortality sad and difficult to start reading. I held it to my heart and kissed it before I opened it and began reading. The reason I found it sad and difficult to start reading was because I knew it was the last book the finest composer of a sentence would ever write. Needless to say once I started reading I couldn’t stop till there were no more pages to turn. It was inspiring, empowering and written the only way Christopher new how to write, absolutely brilliantly. One of the most accurate reviews I’ve read about Christopher, I’m not sure who it was and I’m paraphrasing here but it was something like, “ you’re better off having the blade of a sword at you’re throat than to have Christopher Hitchens raise his pen against you”. No sword could match a pen wielded by that brilliant man.

He wasn’t an atheist because he had no proof that God didn’t exist. He knew God existed but was pissed at religion.

The same pagan beast system that is behind the religion of evolution and hatheism and the old New Age Movement to help them fulfill the goal of a NEW WORLD ORDER AND ONE WORLD RELIGION TO WORSHIP SATAN. The hathiests also are programmed to kill the Christians along with islam only the vatican was smart enough to instill hatred in both the islam to kill all who don't believe the religion and hate in the hathiests so in the end after they all kill off the jews and true Christians they will kill eachother off as well. Which is a strategy to bring the population down combined with manufactured natural disasters and planned false flag events and organized chaos to the point that the JESUIT ROMAN CATHOLIC LUCIFARIAN pagan CHURCH OF SATANWORSHIPPERS BEAST SYSTEM can easily enslave the survivors.

The fact that someone as devoted and inspirational as Hitchens would be sent to hell by the god of the Bible for simply not believing, while Stalin could go to heaven if simply repented before he died, is infuriating. I've watched Hitchens so much that I almost feel like he was a close friend, because he helped me along on my bumpy road to atheism (from years of Christian indoctrinating) and, ultimately, the happiness and knowledge that I enjoy today. How could a sane person wish that Hitchens -- someone who spoke only of wisdom and free thinking, and never of any kind of violence -- would be immediately sent to eternal torture for his thoughts, while the most despicable and hateful person could have a last-minute change of heart and be on equal standing as all upright Christians? The very idea of a system like that makes me physically cringe. How can someone buy into that bullshit?

If you want "reason" look to people with completely open minds about the possibility of the supernatural - like the ancient philosophers who didn't have the anti-religion agendas etc of today. Look at people like Anthony Flew and other converted scientists who had the guts to go against their entrenched colleagues and follow the evidence where it led. Hitchens' atheism is without reason because it has already concluded that God does not exist. We don't even know what is at the edge of the universe or in the deepest oceans. We can't yet explain how humans evolved from gases and bacteria, yet HE knows God doesn't exist. Apparently some animals can discern the presence of disembodied spirits, but HE knows God doesn't exist. Thousands of people have experienced religious NDEs. Yet HE JUST KNOWS God doesn't exist.

I'm glad Mr. Hitchens left us with so many debates, conversations, and articles and books. Never a dull moment when this man is involved. Even up to the end, he still made sure to leave his mark.

Hitchens did something that many men throughout history and in the present seldom dare to do; and that is to speak the truth. He had an obsession with knowledge, with understanding, with discovery. He was what we should all strive to be, curious beyond measure. We should never stop asking the intelligent questions, or instead make up the answers for them, like religion claims to. Hitchens knew that well enough, he exposed hypocritical preachers, he slandered unworthy archbishops and priests, he educated the uncultured masses, he corrected news anchors, and led some of the most interesting debates about some of the most interesting topics (ranging from current affairs and war to religion) with some of the most interesting people. All i can say, is thank you, for everything.

Absolutely brilliant of mind and what a character right up until the end. He has now gone back to where he once came from, and that is Cosmic Dust or Stardust. RIP Christopher Hitchens. 👏👏👏

Perhaps the most underrated man in modern times, his speaking and writing style should be taught to English students and his atheist arguments should be taught in religious studies. In my opinion he is one of the greatest men to have ever lived. The greatest role model a young man can have I think. Even in death he remained noble and philosophical, I think he enjoyed every second he spent on earth and I value every moment I see Mr Hitchens on my screen. It was a true honour to hear Christopher and I will talk to my children about him with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye.

Christopher was to philosophy what Shakespeare was to literature, both unequalled in their fields. He definitely confirmed all of my suspicions about religion, he knew more about the Bible than those that preach it.

Christopher Hitchens is the kind of person I admire the most. I often get the impression that he wasn't a very friendly, or humble person. But he was a adamant defender of the most vulnerable among us. He would not soften his language among people who disagreed with him. When he saw murder, he called it murder. When he saw torture, he called it rape. And he did it regardless of how much power the perpetrator had. Henry Kissinger, Mother Theresa, Billy Graham, no one was too big or too holy.

There will never be another Christopher Hitchens, but we are lucky to have had him.

He is one of the few men I actually admired - to bad most people are still stuck in the Bronze Age as we as a society can learn a lot from him and progress. He is one of the reasons why I able to have the guts to step away from the religious nonsense.

​@@Zinner222 How can you be an atheist if you demand others worship you as a god? I thought that atheism was the disbelief in gods. Truth is that Hitler was Catholic. Although the Soviet Union of Russia marketed atheism for the masses they dabbled in the occult and the elite was very interested in it mainly because of its useful application in regards to the propaganda machine. That does not sound atheistic.

I truly miss this man.

I cry every time I think about never seeing Hitch speak for the rest of my life. I am grateful for the video archive we do have of him. It never gets old.

A brilliant man and quite an exceptional woman. We need more like them - but sadly such clarity of thought and honesty is extremely rare. The world is much poorer for his passing.

He is much missed---I think about him at least once a week, and thank him for the liberating effect of his efforts.

One of history's greatest he will always be a inspiration to me !!

Greatly missed needed today more than ever.

I will never forget reading 'Mortality', a restrained book considering what he was facing. Hitchens was a courageous man. He coined the word 'Tumortown' to describe cancer. Carol Blue paints an accurate portrait of her late husband.

What a brilliant man. I only wish that I had heard of him sooner. RIP

I miss this man so very much.

Excellent stuff. Thanks Carol and Charlie!

What a beautiful and brilliant woman, such elegance. Christopher helps me feel sane in a crazy world. When he talks and an explosion of spontaneous applause happens I know I have a place in a powerful tribe in this lonely world. Thank you Charlie for the thoughtful interview.

Thank you Hitch, you were the greatest, we really miss you.

he was a powerful voice for truth and accountability in a world woefully short on such champions. the world needs more people like him, and we need them now.

my one true regret in life is that I can never be granted the opportunity to meet this great thinking and speaking man. He changed my life with his reason and vast knowledge. With the help of Dawkins and Harris and a half dozen others, I was able to transform and progress​ to my current state of thought. I struggled for decades about religion and faith....fearful of death and the Christian Hell. Thank you Mr. Hitchens for enlightening me and helping me understand what I now see to be the truth. I live a happier, more peaceful life due to the education I received from you and others in our camp. You are thought about and missed daily by many who knew you and I expect millions like me who did not know you but were inspired by you.

"I'm not afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens". Woody Allen...None of us are going to get out of this alive. We only have one life; make the most of it. I may have seen all of Hitchens videos on YT, but I'm still searching in hopes I'll find a new one posted. His intellect and reason, his beautiful expression of thought through the spoken and written word, his tireless pursuit of truth, his ability to hold a candle in the darkness, and his biting wit, keeps me coming back for more.

No doubt he survived, we are still talking about the man to this day!!!!

A great man, greatly missed.

My deepest respects to her, hitch was an extraordinary man.

That is a touching interview.. Very well conducted by Mr. Rose.

I will always think of him and his words ..... He entertained and made me think deeply . I miss and will always miss his wisdom .

Rest in peace, wise one.

Love and miss him. Salute to his life and courage.

I don't know whether that laugh at the end was laughter of joy or tears. Those words, her words read back to her, brought me to tears. "I hear him and he has the last word." He is sorely missed.

Christopher Hitchens lives on, "discovered" him on youtube a few years back. Thank you.

This is so bizarre. I watched Hitchens debate for years when he was still alive, witnessed his last months where he looked worse and worse (health-wise) at each public apparition and kept going back to watch a lot of his videos for years at this point.. And this is the first time I'm realizing he had a wife and seeing this specific video. She seems a lovely lady as well, and by the way she speaks of him they sounded like a happy couple in a solid relationship.

To think that such a passionate genius would receive so much hatred from people who deem themselves and what they stand for as 'good'.

She seems lovely im sure her and christopher were very happy

Dammit. Cancer set him up, and pneumonia took him out. A true titan. Wished he were my uncle. He went much too soon.

chris, you will be miss, but your legacy WILL live on

Wow how deep I'd never had those kind of thoughts until I was 9 years old!

He will be very much be missed, he left us far too soon. but he left all of his writings, lectures, debates, and other appearences. for us to concider and use and learn from. to make ourselves better atheists and more worldly people. we all have to thank Christopher Hitchens for all that he has given us. I say thanks Hitch. R. I. P. Christopher Hitchens

Oooh Mr. Hitchens ! We lost you too soon. 😢 Thank you for what you left behind and in this world of madness and stupidity you were the voice of intellect and reason!! When will this world going to wake up?

"So long as men can breathe and eyes can see So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." --William Shakespeare, Sonnet 18...a fitting epitaph for Hitch. RIP

I think Christopher Hitchens was the most remarkable human I ever had the pleasure of listening to. I’m grateful.

A hero! Thanks for sharing your mind with us Chris.

A razor whit...super intelligent...funny...curious.. above all open and honest, a brilliant man.

I would imagine that in many ways he was difficult to know and not particularly easy to like. Anyone who felt that certain about..... well, anything, and had the erudition and education to articulate that must have been hard to deal with at times. He did have quite an ego, but he was so able to back it up. His “God is not great” is a devastating work, from which there is no coming back. Anyone of any faith should surely have turned away if they had truly read it. I can honestly say his arguments truly opened my mind, and put into words exactly what I thought, only so much more skilfully.

Beautiful conversation

Christopher Hitchens gets to skip the party but be forever in the party of those he touched through letters and his amazing intellect. Mr Hitchens shaw in fact live forever in the minds of others and that is better than harp music and being at your relatives thanksgiving dinner forever.

"That's our guy". He certainly was. Miss you Hitch.

i really like reading the youtube comments about hitchens... its shows how his words have inspired people and educated them also...

He freed us all from the nonsense, and he left us the keys, this man was a saint! He was, is, and will continue to be loved, by a vast army of free thinkers and lovers of the English language.We Owe him so much,and will continue what he boosted, to the best of our abilities. No one can replace a gem like him. He is a joy to listen to. Any remarks to the contrary, can be taken as compliments from the people who could not keep up with him.
