  • You are in my Prayers

    I read your article, ''What I've learned from debating religious people around the world'' with fascination. To provide you with some insight I am what is commonly called an evangelical Christian, but could not be accurately labeled as a full Calvinist. I try my best to communicate in a manner that saves others from perdition and I likewise strive ...

  • theology

    I'm fascinated to find so much religion in an article by Christopher Hitchens. His comments are so vast in their scope, so broad in their application and so pointed in their content that they resemble nothing so much as theological dogma. He has condemned vast swathes of the American people from His papal seat based on His own stereotypes. ...

  • To each his own religion

    «It is still individuals who have rights, not religions.» I couldn't agree more with the above. Yet, as I read it, I couldn't help remembering a recent U. S. Supreme Court decision that corporations have the same protection as individuals under the U. S. Bill of Rights. I call this appalling, too.

  • Vintage Hitchens destroys Gov Palin's remains

    Mr Hitchens warns us of his ire with the 2 year campaign in his 1st sentence which goes far from being soured gastric juices. A manufacturing chemist who works daily with the most toxic compounds will identiy the composition of Mr Hitchins's 1st sentence for us shortly. I wish to be enlightened. Sarah Palin's remains, political & earthly, ...

  • The 3 responses a creationist has to this type of evidence

    Christopher - I recall you saying in a debate that when you are against a creationist, you find it best to ''highlight and underline'' this point rather then argue it. I have occasionally accepted the putrid distinction of arguing (not 'debating') the evolution case in front of creationist audiences (at the grandiloquent Liberty University) and I ...

  • Hitch On Helms like White on Rice

    Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

  • News Flash: Christopher Hitchens Seeks Catholic Confessional

    I was surprised to read Christopher Hitchens today, riding high on his moral horse as to the political, cultural and economic predations of Maximum Leader Robert Mugabe in his current Country of Residence, Zimbabwe. What people like Hitchens never seem to understand, is that morality is never just for other people, or leaders, or religious types. ...

  • Ilk or Actuality?

    I have to question the premise of Hitchens' argument. It seems he prefers to remain among those who feel they haven't heard enough renunciation and distancing in Obama's ''handling'' of his ''pastor situation.'' The senator actually demonstrated integrity treating the Rev. Wright and his comments with more seriousness than a mere political ...

  • Hitchens' take on religion intellectually lazy

    While I agree with much of what Hitchens says in his analysis of the Wright/Obama matter, to toss off a statement like ''How true it is that religion poisons everything'' just bespeaks intellectual laziness. I realize that this slogan has been part of Hitchens' boilerplate for years, but it bears pointing out that cherry-picking the most ...

  • Hate in the Guise of "faith"

    If and Athiest were to say some of the things that Wright, Hagee and other religious zealots have said, they would be rightfully be denounced as both delusional and hateful. But, if it's a ''person of faith'' saying such things, they tend to be handled with kid gloves. And if you do denounce them, the zealots will raise of accusations of ...
