Man I miss Hitchens... What a truly inspired, brilliant mind he was and his death was a loss for the world, not just the atheist community. He truly was a champion for human rights, and the world could only benefit by having more people like him... Cheers Mr. Hitchens!
+Ryan Kelly I keep searching You Tube trying to find someone who makes me think & inspires me the same way Hitch did. Sadly I doubt I will ever see another of his stature & intellect in my lifetime. I miss him too.
Calling him brilliant and inspired doesn’t even touch his genius. Closest thing to an ironic deity given his prose. I’m sure his IQ bordered ludicrous. And I say that because a true genius can perfectly intertwine almost pedantic photographic memory, while also maintaining humor at the core of his pathos. He is legendary.

That's just preachers preaching. They never care to debate. They just preach the way they preach in their temples, emphasizing a lot so people think there has to be some crazy genius insight they will nod to, pretending they understand to not be left behind.
I have nothing but admiration for Hitch: his love of learning and literature and his eloquent way of expressing himself is still a continuing inspiration for me. His courage to continue a series of debates while undergoing the debilitating affects of cancer treatment - nothing but respect!
Agnes, because that is one of those idiotic things that christians love to say and is just absolute nonsense. If your understanding is just superficial soundbites that is the kind of thing you say. Dig deeper, peel off those onion layers to reach a deeper understanding -you have a brain. I'm sorry, but I feel so disappointed when human beings parrot this kind of rubbish, because I know people, including yourself, are capable of so much more. We are biological organisms, but not merely: we are amazing biological organisms capable of so much. All of the processes that occur in our body are chemistry, which do consist of "molecules in motion" but that is how our body functions and allow our brain to work and all of our biological systems to function. Are you never curious about these things?
@@johnnybgoodeish "...but that is how our bodies function, while [sic. also] allowing our brains to work, and [sic. further] allowing all of our biological systems to also function." Is that better grammatically? Idk.
Well he goes on to explain what he meant by that, he seems to have said it to garner some shock & it worked. This involves, as he put It, an eternal legacy 'after-life' such as MLK.. which is what nonbelievers would associate more with. It's funny, many of my Jewish friends speak in a tone similar to his... almost the same voice. Wouldn't say it's having an ego as much as being eccentric.. but since when is having an ego a bad thing? lol
Well if you had listened for a few more minutes, you would have noticed that he actually says that the afterlife that we all believe in is us living on in the memories of our descendants.
SATANIC SEED : That's just another bucket full of holes that also doesn't hold water. Nobody takes themselves seriously when they spout off about reliving their childhood through their children and my fading memories of past dead relatives is nothing like them still being alive and talking about death as we all do. Dreams seem real only if you stay sleeping and daydreaming is what children do when they're bored with reality.
@bigbadb10 I'm reminded of a point Hitchens has made to arguments about "good theists" but is fitting in this discussion, which I'll paraphrase here: Shmuley's "afterlife" is agreeable precisely on the basis of its departure from theism.
How CH opens the bottle at the end is in many ways how he saw life; we miss what has always been right in front of us, and we only need now to view things differently. What a man.
@@pmathews109 I believe you would find him in God's wrath. Revelation 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:10 And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, into which the beast and the false prophet had already been thrown. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
I'm a Christian and I have to say how heart breaking it was to watch Christopher Hitchen's health take such a precipitous decline. Sad that he died so young.
some of your christian friends cheered for his demise. To still call yourself a christian after listening to this man proves your still a stubborn theist
My first comment as moderator would have been 'schmuley stop shouting, it does not make you point any more credible'. Anyone who has watched him debate (sorry preach) before will know he shouts everything, constantly tells everyone he was a lecturer at Oxford and incessantly name drops. 'I met the pope, I met President Clinton, I met him, I met her' and on and on and on. The man is just awful. Utterly awful.
schumley went over kill... and lost me when he went on and on and on about MLK.... I felt like I was in kindergarten being conditioned and sheltered by fairy tales and lies. .......he's also hard to Take seriously when he starts shouting..... tooo much drama cannot make up for or distract from the obvious lack of proof truth or power of your argument...... please people....!!!!
I get louder when i am losing it because the guy i am talking to keeps ignoring what i am saying and continues preaching the same over and over again even though i made a good point to negate what he is preaching about. Even worse when it's illogical and makes no sense, yet they act like it's so obviously true. Ignorance is hard to deal with.
In Spanish the saying goes: Mucho ruido y pocas nueces -> A lot of noise and a bit of nuts. It comes from the observation than if you shake a nut the one that makes most noise is the one that has the least edible material, or in this case, the least substantial argument.
I remember being at this debate and thinking to myself how Christopher was dying of cancer and still more alive than any of us. That and how you could feel the attractive moderator was smitten with him.
"Having, so-to-speak, invented the toxin of monotheism, it's a wonderful thing that jews have been the greatest contributors to undoing it." There it is, I think the best hitchslap of the debate. I hope you read this in my afterlife.
You can see The Hitch patiently, barely containing his frustration, twirling his glasses about, as he waits for the comical Schmuckley to finally stop prating.
I love how Hitchens just blows his nose during Shmuley's opening argument, like, "I don't even have to pay attention to this guy to fuck his argument up in a few minutes."
It annoys me when people deliberately misuse the word faith. No one uses the word faith to describe a belief in things that aren't supernatural. I think it is a good idea to be sceptical but I would never say that I have faith in scepticism because the word faith would raise scepticism up and give it supernatural qualities, and that wouldn't make sense to me.
The moment Shmuley cited Dinnesh, he lost a lot of credit. Dinnesh is NOT known for his intellectual honesty. Point in case; He compares Democrats to Nazis, Atheists to Nazis and claims "Hitler was a Socialist" despite evidence to the contrary. Dinnesh is nothing but ad homs these days.
It amazes me that in all the religious debates I have seen, not once has anyone raised the subject of how these different ideas came to be. Clearly, to anyone with the most cursory experience of reality, the idea that reliable information can be accumilated through revelation is ridiculous, in comparison to the scrutiny involved in science. These two methods of achieving knowledge are so far removed from each other that it astounds me no-one mentions it.
Most of the religious that I have seen Christopher Hitchens debate, just as Rabbi Shmuley does here, when pressed, completely deny what their holy text teach. Pinning down their beliefs, is like trying to take a finger and pin a glob of jello, it's impossible. They pick and choose which of their religious text they wish to believe and or practice, and diminish the importance of the rest. Then they have the nerve to criticize and condemn the fundamentalist of their faiths, who unlike them, are not hypocritical in denying what their holy text state and infers. They are not "true" religionist, they are liberal humanist that are too insecure and afraid to shed the traditions of their family and their faith, and in my opinion living more of a lie than those who are.
Calling him brilliant doesn’t even touch his true genius. Closest thing to an ironic deity given his prose. I’m sure his IQ bordered ludicrous. And I say that because a true genius can perfectly intertwine almost pedantic photographic memory, while also maintaining humor at the core of his pathos. The man is the closest you can get to legendary.
If he had been an early adopter of the new form of sharing ideas, instead of acting as a platform for these floundering charlatans, he might be having a much larger impact right now. The religious "leaders" he was debating at this time were only using him as a megaphone for their quips. A three hour conversation with Hitchens about his ideas would be far more valuable
@@turtferguson4831 If it has to come to popularity, Hitchens was much more popular than anyone he debated. His rebuttals inspired the 'Hitchslap' meme. None of his opponents can claim such devotion. He began to understand just how popular he was becoming on UA-cam in the final years of his life and whilst he appreciated the extra exposure, he wasn't entirely happy that his video form was surpassing his writing. He was a writer first and foremost before he was a public speaker. I don't think we needed him as a podcaster although he certainly would've done a far better job than Sam Harris does with his boring drone of a voice.
This is a profoundly ridiculous debate. Hitch never should have given this buffoon an opportunity to be in the same building, let alone dignify his outlandish yelling.
Hitchens, if he didn't accept Christ before he went into eternity, KNOWS NOW! regardless if he was saved or not. Everyone has an eternity. Hitchens NOW knows that there is indeed a Creator!
I could feel the suspense of an imminent Hitchslap from the moment Smuley mentioned the atrocities of the 20th century. I swear the Jaws music started playing in my head as soon as Christopher began his response.
I believe in what may or may not be a totally made up for The X Files Native American afterlife legend. No one is truly gone until the last person who remembers them is gone too. Remember Hitchens. Give him the only afterlife he would ever want. The one in our minds, driven by reason, not dogma, myth, or superstition.
Meanwhile, where did they find giant versions of the dining room chairs I grew up with? Or are all three of these people really really tiny? Are they hobbits?
Oh, I disagree. He's one of the best and brightest of theists. He's no dummy, and though his accent and presentation grate on me, I hear a very advanced mind behind his words. I'm an anti-theist, but of all CH's debate partners I think Shmuley is one of the very best.
I think i have to agree but at least you spotted it and one is enough for me. And i could have guessed you were a fellow european like me, i'm from the Netherlands myself. One of the first countries to allow gay mariage.
he died because he never quit smoking and drinking despite of having esophageal cancer,that is irrationality,this poor man cant even practice what he preach:(

Hitchens: Makes an argument
Shmuley: Screams an argument
couldn't bear to listen to shmuley, ill take your word for it >.>
Just screams, their are no arguments for religion, why do you think all middle eastern religions consider athiests as mortal enemies .
The Rabbi Shmuley technique: make your points very loudly, and they will magically acquire more validity and truth value.
That’s a common Sales approach. The bully method. It’s more about imposing your will than truth.
Could you speak up? I can still hear him! ;)
