There’s nothing new about atheism.
Regular old atheism is undefeated reason.

i never met a person that didnt believe in god and who wasnt just angry at god

*shakes hand*

I didn’t want to give up eternal life, whatever it may have been like, but doing so made my short little life all the more precious. There’s no anger at the fictional character. In fact, I’m not even angry enough at the poor fools who use their gods to justify heinous acts.

t.redditor supreme!

>shakes hand
what did he mean by this?

Also not him, and not sure if its what hes on about, but I do tend to see people who are actuvely atheist tend to do it as a reactive thing. otherwise, most people in my experience just fall into a tepid agnosticism and see god as a useful or illustrative way to describe the metaphysical or overall. like fate or karma. etc. as a lense rather than a falsehood. but thats my 2 cents.

Just listen to his brother. It's the same man but without the faggotry and reddit atheism

originally a marxist too. If you’re going to be a commie you should stay one.

He drank skim milk and died, unlike his based brother Peter.

>be a bitter fuck boomer
>turn to marxism
>grow up to see marxism fail
>trade it in for bitter fuck atheism
many such cases

Catholics rebelling are like amish on rumspringa
How is an actual atheist going to even acknowledge the fictional character? It’s a lie they’ve been told. If they react to anything it’s their parents

His brother is as dumb as a post.

>Catholics rebelling are like amish on rumspringa
thats actually pretty smart. id expand it to say that all western theists are rebelling christians.

No, I’m not. Dumb fuck cathtard.

Hitchens was a good journalist but calling him a philosopher is just pretentious.

I bet you drink skim milk.

>skim milk
???

anyone who backed the iraq invasion is a bad person. trying to weasel out of it after it become an albatross around their necks doesn't change that fact. they had all the information they needed in 2003 to know it was a bad idea

not bush era neoconservativism

Peter is a big believer in whole milk. His daddy probably used to tell him it grew hair on his chest or something. His love of British dairy farming reminds me of Rand and her trains

cool. i like whole milk so i might read some peter (hitchens?)

i read his book on ww2 that he put out recently and i remember thinking it was just okay, buit his interviews are hilarious, watch a bunch of those, and his talks.

>"Since human beings are naturally solipsistic, all forms of superstition enjoy what might be called a natural advantage. In the United States, we exert ourselves to improve high-rise buildings and high-speed jet aircraft (the two achievements that the murderers of September 11, 2001, put into hostile apposition) and then pathetically refuse to give them floors, or row numbers, that carry the unimportant number thirteen."
Yeah, I'm thinking he's based...

>"The thirst for money and worldly comfort is only a subtext of the mind-numbing story of Marjoe Gortner, the “infant phenomenon”of American evangelical hucksterism. Grotesquely christened “Marjoe” (a cretinous lumping together of the names Mary and Joseph) by his parents, young Master Gortner was thrust into the pulpit at the age of four, dressed in a revolting Little Lord Fauntleroy suit, and told to say that he had been divinely commanded to preach. If he complained or cried, his mother would hold him under the water tap or press a cushion on his face, always being careful, as he relates it, to leave no marks. Trained like a seal, he soon attracted the cameras and by the age of six was officiating at the weddings of grown-ups. His celebrity spread, and many flocked to see the miraculous child. His best guess is that he raised three million dollars in “contributions,”none of which was earmarked for his education or his own future. At the age of seventeen he rebelled against his pitiless and cynical parents and “dropped out”into the early sixties California counterculture. In the immortal children’s Christmas pantomime Peter Pan, there comes a climactic moment when the little angel Tinkerbell seems to be dying. The glowing light that represents her on the stage begins to dim, and there is only one possible way to save the dire situation. An actor steps up to the front of the house and asks all the children, “Do you believe in fairies?”If they keep confidently answering “YES!” then the tiny light will start to brighten again. Who can object to this? One wants not to spoil children’s belief in magic—there will be plenty of time later for disillusionment—and nobody is waiting at the exit asking them hoarsely to contribute their piggy banks to the Tinkerbell Salvation Church. The events at which Marjoe was exploited had all the intellectual content of the Tinkerbell scene, nastily combined with the ethics of Captain Hook."

Bloodthirsty psychopath neocon spouting counterfactuals. I would spit on his face.

>I love porn

Did Christopher even have an abstract "philosophy"? All of his writings seem more sociological (religion le bad) or geopolitical (interventionism le good).

It's been a very long while since i've read him, and i know have a much lower opinion of the man, but still i think his ability to mix history, politics literature, poetry into something resembling a worldview was my first indication, at 16 or whatever i was, of how i waned myself think

He was also a genuine stylist, rather then a writer of tricks like many of his imitators.

Any atheist is better than a believer. Better not to believe in something because you don't have tangible proof for it than to believe in sth because who knows for sure
For this reason, the smartest religious person is for me worse than the dumbest atheist person

Only remotely famous atheist “thinker” type I’m aware of who would actually call out Islam for being based around a little warlord and it’s holy book encouraging the active killing of others. So he gets points for not being a pussy and actually following all the way through on the anti religious stance.

He was very amusing, but I'm not sure he was a truly deep thinker.

The thing about the Hitchenses is that they're almost mirror images of each other. Christopher was polished, suave, well-spoken, and charming, but it often felt like his ideas were shallow and often full of self-contradiction. On the other hand, Peter is stuttering, awkward, stuffy, and a poor performer, but it feels like his ideas are stronger, and he is purer of purpose.

Sounds like an idiot

Nah atheists just hate their dads.

It's very obvious which was the dominant brother.

retargument

Certainly not as bad as his retarded brother

Peter is almost based but his zionism is very bad

What if their dads are atheists? Are tradlarpers just brats with atheist fathers?

You know what I learned from this post? that people loathe you, that you are a kike, a genetic dead end, a stupid piece of shit. your family hates you and your friends cant stand you. Slimey kike.

His only contribution to humanity was his warning about the dangers of capitulation with Islam. Good speaker though - made word salad sound good.

I kind am

I have a father who is not just an atheist but an active fedora-tipper and I went through a brief tradlarper phase so I know this happens. I still have some sympathies for certain kinds of religion and I sometimes have to hide it.

Seems like you know what it's like to be that kind of person

Yeah, by virtue of knowing you, you stupid kike.

Everything he wrote before his anti-religion phase was really good desu, he tore Kissinger, the Clintons and numerous other people who deserve it a new asshole when it was very unfashionable to do so. As much as it's kind of a cliché, there's not a lot of people of relative personal success who are willing to torch their reputation by saying what they think is true against the crowd.

Nope, I still have my foreskin, but I'm sorry your parents cut yours off.

??? You are literally the kike, you fucking kike, why would I be the one who got circumsized?? My penis is whole and healthy. You fucking JEW SCUM BAG

Sad cope. But I don't hold it against you, if I was circumcised I'd be coping hard too.

The not so subtle tactics of a scumbag kike. You ARE what I say you are, KIKE. Stupid fuck.

Crying isn't going to get you your foreskin back but therapy might help you come to terms with it.
