Interesting that he says, "I'm not allowed to bring a lawyer." 1 John 2:2 says, "My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." So we can bring a lawyer, a defense attorney who fully understands the law and gave His life to ensure that the charges against us don't stand. So you're allowed to bring a lawyer. Christ died to be your lawyer. But Hitchens rejected the ONLY lawyer who can ensure the charges are dropped while complaining that he's not allowed to have a lawyer.

If only it were so simple. Remember that every atheist would never want to be with God anyways. If they were honest, then there should be a sense of relief that the Bible were true, and that they could reject God 1 last time to his face. The good news is that God will put us to the side, and make the non-Christians kneel before him, and declare himself to be our God.

What hogwash - he did not reject anything or anyone. He was just asking for proof. None of the believers ever was able to do so. And even worse. Believers make extraordinary claims that would require extraordinary evidence but that would require real work - much easier to throw in some platitudes like: You must have faith - no, no I don't especially if this faith requires me to let my critical faculties go for a hike, I don't. Or: God works in mysterious ways - so do I if I am drunk enough. To say it with Hagrid: Codswallop

Continue seeking the Truth of everything with an open mind, and an open heart (i hope you understand what that means) and you will find the answer. Lemme give you the answer you will find right now: Its Jesus Christ. But you dont have to believe me. Reflect on your own life, study the gospels for yourself, and then conclude whether or not you NEED Jesus. Asking for physical proof is unreasonable. As humans, we dont necessarily based our lives on proof. However, we look at the evidence that points to almost every aspect of our lives. Asking for proof for God, but refusing to look at and test the evidence that points towards his existence is dishonest and arrogant.

‎”Supposing there was no intelligence behind the universe, no creative mind. In that case, nobody designed my brain for the purpose of thinking. It is merely that when the atoms inside my skull happen, for physical or chemical reasons, to arrange themselves in a certain way, this gives me, as a by-product, the sensation I call thought. But, if so, how can I trust my own thinking to be true? It’s like upsetting a milk jug and hoping that the way it splashes itself will give you a map of London. But if I can’t trust my own thinking, of course I can’t trust the arguments leading to Atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an Atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God” -C.S. Lewis.

@MultiCII is not exactly a refutation of Lewis point. Mind you, Lewis was a fervent atheist and scientist before his conversion near the end of his life. He spent an entire lifetime grappling with these questions before coming to a conclusion. You've just perused a few youtube videos. People like Hitchens still to this day have never countered any of his arguments because they themselves believe that, yes, they can trust their brain despite their belief being created by entirely random forces. They implicitly trust the idea that random chemicals and neurons firing is enough justification to trust it or these random events explain something as complicated and immaterial as thought and reason. They've never been able to provide a scientific rationale for why ideas of non material existence like morality exist. They say evolutionary theory gives way to that? But evolutionary theory is a concept where the strong devour weak. There's a reason atheistic 'scientific' facistic regimes developed soon after Darwins ideas.

No, what are you trying to say. You cant equate spilling milk to the complex neurochemical interactions that produce thought. We know from neuroscience that stimulating a particular part of the brain or depressing particular types of neurotransmitters can change a persons thoughts, personality, cause fear, it can even make someone sexually deviant. This shows thought is clearly a product of physical -chemical occurrences that evolved throughout different species to reach the complex level humans have now.

Hey, Very: You did not exist until Jesus Christ created you. If you choose not to accept His offer of eternal life, you will then go to what the Bible calls the "second death" following the resurrection at the End of the Age. Thus, your soul will be destroyed in the second death, and you will no longer exist; just as you did not exist until God created you in the first place. So, in a way, atheists will get what they expect anyway: Nonexistence. Take care.

According to one story of his last words, Voltaires response to a priest at his deathbed urging him to renounce Satan was allegedly… "Now is not the time for making new enemies." However, if you fact check this quote it’s fake as it actually originated from a joke first published in a Massachusetts newspaper in 1856, and was only attributed to Voltaire in the 1970s. Moreover, Voltaire actually died in 1778 - yes? But atheists, bless them, get little cheapies out of the thought that Voltaire was one of their own and sold his soul to the Devil - right? That is they get a SUPERIORITY COMPLEX over left wing fairytales that Voltaire sold his soul to the god of automatons and the god of materialism and scientism. He clearly wasn’t an atheist!! No one really knows what he said near his death. Apart from…. On the 28th of March 1778, only a few months before he died he wrote these famous lines to his secretary Wagnière : “I'm dying worshipping God, loving my friends, without hate for my ennemies and with detestation of superstition” [Voltaire]. Near the end he clearly made his peace with God and his enemies whilst suffering with illness. Suffering seems to do that. It gives people a good kick up the backside and rattles them from their teenage sophomoric stupor. That’s the paradoxical nature of reality and redemption.

This may seem random but I grew up in the church and thought that was the whole religion just going to church every Sunday and eventually stopped going and started to do my own thing. I wanted to find the purpose of life because I knew everything we worked for would pass away. I was looking at all the religions unbiasedly, looking historically so I wouldn't have blind faith. Later on I had a tug on my heart to open up the Bible and saw the Jesus people talked about was completely different from what was in the Bible. I started to draw closer to the higher power and had a supernatural encounter with him and I felt his love and peace and was indescribable and overwhelming almost but was out of this world and everything looked brand new like it was the first time seeing it when I looked outside literally. I wasn't expecting the encounter either and was shocked when it happened. (I don't do drugs or alcohol) His name is Jesus and I’m here to tell you it’s about a relationship not religion and he is real and did die on the cross for you willingly and thinks you as the only person and was thinking of you while dying. You don’t have to believe my experience you can seek yourself, I suggest you start in the minimalistic facts of the resurrection because if the resurrection is false than Christianity is false. All we chase in this life is temporary think about your eternal life.

@@stunns2003 In my view, individuals often rely on belief systems to seek security and meaning in their lives. I believe this attachment to beliefs stems from psychological conditioning influenced by society, family, and culture. The notion of a "malevolent character" offering an alternative vision can be seen as an external force attempting to manipulate people through fear or desire. I advocate questioning and resisting such manipulation. I hold a critical stance towards organized religions and ideologies that demand unwavering commitment. I contend that such commitments often lead to conformity, division, and conflict. From my perspective, societies built on rigid belief systems inherently foster division. The concept of an "alternate vision" would be considered another form of conditioning, and I encourage individuals to break free from all forms of conditioning, including the imposition of new belief systems.

Atheists have indeed taken notice that Christians often give themselves license to lie to non-believers about these kinds of "miracle" healings. We take notice that your god somehow feels he needs to perform a cheap conjuring trick in order to win your faith. Meanwhile, the Atheist is also aware that your friend chose to believe in god because he had nothing to lose. Pascal's wager? He did not do so because IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO (according to your own religion) but rather, you did so out of a wish to gain god's favor...or to avoid divine punishment. Hardly any morality on display here...by either god or your dying friend. And yes, the Atheists always take note that your god didn't bother to save your friend from his affliction in the first place, saying much more about your pretend friend in heaven than your pretend friend here on earth.

The truth is that we are primates that have a slightly bigger brain and share 99% of our genome with apes.

Christopher has mentioned in an article that he had a normal relationship with his father, only that his father was a man of few words, had a good alcohol tolerance and was very old fashioned. Having a bad father figure very rarely leads to atheism. Atheism means not trusting ludicrous claims because "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". It's often true (but not always) that GOOD parental relationships lead to atheism, because if you have good parents, they won't try to religiously condition you because no good person does that to their own vulnerable child. Bad parenting doesn't lead to atheism, good parenting does.

@brianmatthews4323 2 дня назад
I, like you, do not subscribe to the Wager as the path to salvation (true salvation doesn't work that way), but it is food for thought in that it points out the fact that only the atheist is at risk. IOWs, if I, as a Christian turn out to be wrong, and the atheist is right, I live my life with the comfort, strength, and joy of my false belief until I die in peace, and cease to exist. I lose nothing. If I'm right (which I am) then I get to live this good life, now, PLUS an infinitely better new life of eternal bliss after. I win either way. On the other hand, if I'm right, and the atheist wrong, his loss is horrendous, but if he is right he gets to live in nihilistic misery, now, enduring whatever purposeless suffering comes to him until he goes off into oblivion, after. The atheist has everything to lose, and absolutely NOTHING to gain. I would literally rather be roadkill, than to be an atheist, and even if I were an atheist, I would promote Christianity simply for the benefits and comforts it affords. After all, what's the point of taking away people's hope and comfort if the atheist's meaningless worldview is true, anyway?

When Hitchens said he'll tell God that he wasn't able to gain any understanding from the claims made by God's "spokespersons," I thought of when Jesus told of the rich man burning in hell, and he see's Abraham and Lazarus in the distance -- Lazarus had been a poor, crippled beggar who laid at the gate and begged. He was so crippled and weakened that the dogs would come and lick his sores. The rich man begged Abraham to send Lazarus to put a drop of water on his tongue, for he was in agony in the flame. Abraham said there was a great chasm fixed between them and him, and it wouldn't be possible. So the rich man begged Abraham to send someone to tell his 7 brothers about this place. But Abraham told the rich man, "If they didn't believe Moses and the prophets, they won't beliieve even if someone returns from the dead." Sad. This life is so brief, and we are all sinners and need to repent and receive Jesus, our only hope of spending eternity with a holy God.

The people of God were looking at the cloud by day and the pillar by night, saw the red sea part in front of them and later saw an entire Egyptian army die in the same sea, and yet the still did not believe God. At the end of the day, belief and acceptance of God is a matter of choice internally, whether you see Him or not.

Only a grain of humility is sufficient to get mercy from God. At the end of the life vain knowledge is straw. Conceit drives to perdition. 'Intelligence" accord human eyes is not wisdow but stupidity. (Perhaps God have mercy of him). And of course his final pretext to justify his disbelief before God is childish and ridiculous. Before God, the Creator of the universe and the maker of all the destructive energies and colosal forces, Hitchens like any minuscule creature will be silent and horrified facing the Supreme Majesty of God. The wicked like the just will hear their eternal destiny with horror or relief. No one will dare to discuss with God. Mercy is for all people before death. After death there will be only Justice.

You could simply just be mistaken in believing there are many gods and not one God because there are many different religions, which confuses you. But any unbiased examination of religion by analysing comparative features of all of them to discover which one is true (because if God does exist there must be only one religion) is the only scientific approach to truth existing in any of them. It is blatantly obvious that there is only one God and only one true religion - and it is the one you hate the most, which is also scientific proof or evidence that shows it is true. You know which one it is. If you don't, I highly doubt you are capable of a reasonable discussion henceforward.

You just come across as a tool, as Hitchen did repeatedly in addition to misquoted the bible almost everytime he was on a stage. The problem with Hitchens is that he never seemed to argue in a way to convince theists, which is the entire point of a debate, instead he just kept playing to his own crowd. Ironically, Hitchens may gave created more Christians in his lifetime. A resurgence in Christianity is happening now.

But mainly it's the religious charlatans, and hucksters calling themselves priest, reverend, rabbi, and imam that are to blame for creating credulous humans that will believe almost anything at all, without any evidence whatsoever. These subhumans even mock their victims openly by calling themselves shepherds, and their prey, sheep; as they fleece them of their money, sanity, and go on to sexual abuse their children. All this done, while being tax free, and insulated from blame by their religious institutional infrastructures that are embedded like Lyme disease ridden ticks in modern society.

There are a couple of issues with pascals wager. How do you know you have belief in the right religion? After all if you choose the wrong one you may be in trouble. Religion is usually based on culture and geography. Surely it is unfair for a god to punish individuals because they have been born and brought up as highly influenced children in a region where another religion is the norm. If God is all knowing, surely he would see through an individual who is only believing in him because it is better than an alternative as opposed to true faith. Pascals wager is a very weak arguement for belief in religion. The whole arguement is based on the premise that believing in God is surely better than hell if you are wrong. The definition of a cult is "an organised group whose purpose is to dominate cult members through psychological manipulation and pressure strategies". This sounds like pascals wager to me.

I think that the trap people often fall into is to make an assumption about how God would "feel" about you not believing in Him. Will he be offended, angered, saddened, vengeful, hateful, loving, stoic, philosophical? And that is because we attribute to Him the same qualities we attribute to ourselves as humans. If that were the case, I'd say more than anything else that He might be saddened. How would you feel as a parent if your children didn't believe in you which in our world might roughly translate as them not trusting or respecting you. But that's in this world. In the next, the question of "belief" and "uncertainty" evaporate. So the question of "what would you say to God" is really a nonsensical or invalid question. This is why the concept of Hell is also nonsensical. When you leave this planet, you also leave behind everything you had - including your bad thoughts, hateful tendencies but what you take with you are the experiences and the consequences of your actions. The most painful aspect is the fact that once you leave, it is impossible to make amends. You cannot reach out from beyond the grave to atone for anything. And the more you have to atone for when you leave, the greater will your personal hell be on the other side. That's the real issue. The amount of grief, pain, hurt and destruction you cause here whether to others or yourself, will determine how long it will take for you to reconcile yourself to God. It's not a punishment from God but a consequence of your actions here. Your soul will be troubled, and so long as that remains, you cannot be reconciled with God. But, you have all eternity, and that's the good news. This is the reason atheists even deny free will. Because with free will, comes responsibility and they will say anything to absolve themselves of it.

Yet it is only when we are asked to face our "life review" that we discover it has always been up to us, not God!!!

@@Philip__325 "for God hath shewed it unto them." Religion is all based on some ancient man telling you god said this or that, when that man has zero proof of that. THERE IS NOW AND NEVER HAS BEEN ANY WAY TO PROVE THAT ANY GOD REVEALED ANY RELIGIOUS TRUTH TO ANY MAN. It's all made up by some woman-hating ancient guy who thought he was talking to god. Anyone who believes anything anyone like that says is nuts because the person who believes he spoke to god is psychotic. couple that with the fact that no god has ever INDISPUTABLY spoken to the entire world, and only a fool would believe in man-invented religion. get on with living your life according to humane principles, the kind Christ preached (I believe in many things he taught, but I KNOW he was not god, just a great teacher), and forget about a god having to tell you to do so.

Why should Hitchen's choice be dependent on other people ("I was unable to believe in the claims made by your human spokespersons" 1:59)? He had a mind of his own and could go through his own reasoning and make his own choice without any input from another person.

I love that Hitchens is still helping people heal from religious trauma. I started listening to him about a month ago and he has helped me deconvert from Christianity. It's a long road but gonna be a merry one. I thank Christopher Hitchens and all those who helped me after I had woken up.

Sadly what you have done is damned yourself. Truth is found in God and his word. I hope that the holy spirited touches your heart and you know the true meaning of loving God. The truth is far more bitter to swallow than the lie of this world. People don’t want to meet the God the Bible….because then that means you’ll need to confront all those sins and account for them. Sin is not dealt with anywhere else but with Jesus. We are all sinful and fall short.

Just like pleading ignorance or disagreement with getting a speeding ticket because you didn't see the signs, so it is with death and the judgement. I live believing in God and Jesus Christ not out of fear, but out of knowing that they are true. And I work to live a good life not thinking about the reward, but because it's the right thing to do. Whenever I hear an atheist commenting on God in an arrogant manner, it's just confirming that they're not as open minded to the potential as they would in for many scientific theories that can't currently be proven.

How slick you make the claim each will be judged by the light they have received. Then why would God come at all, why not die on the cross for our sins in silence? Also, why would She use such an inefficient method if it was to bring "Light" into the world?

You people can't be this damaged (mainly because you have proven you can write.) You can't see that being created in the image and likeness of God defines human narcissism at it's highest possible extreme? It also simultaneously identifies THE SUPREME CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE as having chosen to materialize as an earthbound primate with a genome almost identical to an ape ... it's gibberish... completely bonkers, my friend.
