The True Core Of The Jesus Myth – Christopher Hitchens @ FreedomFest (Part 1). Mirror of youtu.be — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Dinesh D’Souza and Christopher Hitchens go at it again at the 2008 Freedom Fest as the “Main Event”. FreedomFest is an annual festival where “free minds meet” to celebrate “great books, great ideas, and great thinkers” in an open-minded society. It is independent, non-partisan, and not affiliated with any organization or think tank. Founded and produced by Mark Skousen, since 2002, FreedomFest invites the “best and the brightest” from around the world to talk, strategize, socialize, and celebrate liberty. FreedomFest is open to all and is purely egalitarian, where speakers, attendees, and exhibitors are treated as equals. www.freedomfest.com Christopher Hitchens (born 1949) is an author, journalist and literary critic. Currently living in Washington, DC, he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Slate, Free Inquiry, and a variety of other media outlets. Hitchens is also a political observer, whose books — the latest being “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything” — have made him a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits. In 2009 Hitchens was listed by Forbes magazine as one of the “25 most influential liberals in US media.” The same article noted, though, that he would “likely be aghast to find himself on this …

If you grant all the miracles, you grant that Jesus is probably God (or at least on good terms with him). Then its a good idea to follow his advice.

@1GodOnlyOne there’s a higher probability of Hitch coming back than Jeebus!

@jboze3131 1) there were many ‘messiah’ at the time most put jesus, that still doesn’t prove that specific jesus ever actually existed, it’s all hearsay or second hand evidence. 2) Catholicism was made up by the so-called ‘Saint’ Paul & his Roman cohorts, any real follower of jesus would have been a fully practicing Jew who just so happened to believe that jesus was their messiah. 3) the whole premise of the new ‘Christianity’ was to just believe in jesus and you’d be saved, that’s it no worries

hitchens was always an embarrassment on religion. he pretended to be educated on the topic but was…well, clueless. no honest respectable historian denies the existence of a man named jesus who taught what the NT claims he did.
his absurd claim that christ, when he said, “take no thought for tomorrow,” meant to literally do nothing for your future is not only stupid, but it’s offensive. no way hitchens was honestly that dumb to believe that’s what christ meant.

Perversions reflect character. Media-darling Christ’ Hitchens, who documented his anal-sadistic practices with men in print, was likely a key member of the Geo. H.W. Bush (& family) pederasty ring. Are not men judged by the company they keep?

@JustinJaybrown how about reading the bible for yourself….better yet- have 4 bibles out, one to each gospel- then read. all of them at once.

@dylpickle17 And you see what you want to see in the Bible: It’s called cherry picking. Also the so called historians that mention the Christ are either forgeries or found to be not actually mentioning the Jesus character of the Bible.

This man has obviously read the BIBLE. Jesus was born in Bethlehem his father was from Nazareth. Also the Gospels all say the same about his birth. If you are going to bash something at least get your facts straight.

I don’t need the bible to know what is right

February 8, 2012 at 11:37 am
None of this is true….Jesus was born in bethlaham (mathew 2:1) and again in Luke (2:1-7)
and there are three historians who wrote about Jesus five who mention Christian…and God doesn’t mean to not work when he says “follow me”. You can see plenty of evidence of Jesus message of working hard and honestly and doing the right thing in life.If you do not see that then i would say you haven’t read the bible to well.

@frozensilent by the way, I appreciate that you have kept the tone respectful, I’m just here to have interresting debate, not to step on anyone’s beliefs or to piss anyone off.

Have you ever observed the process of evolution? No, no one has, we just have evidence that this is what happened, but not proof. The evidence is enough for you and I to believe in, but it is by no means a fact. No responsible scientist ever calls any scientific discovery a fact. 2 + 2 = 4, that is is fact.

@frozensilent “gravity is not a theory, gravity is a FACT, the theory is that ” haha, you’re telling me that gravity is a fact, but it is based on a theoretical particle? Don’t get me wrong, I believe in gravity, because it is what I’ve read about and have been told, and it is plausible enough, same with evolution, I believe in it, it’s plausible, I’ve observed evidence of it, but I have never observed it. They are all just theories, and could be disproven at any time.

@zigravos why do you believe that? did you think of it yourself? or do you base it on spiritual garbage that has been spoken to you?

@TdotSoul gravity is not a theory, gravity is a FACT, the theory is that it is caused by a strange property that we call mass, mass is possibly caused by a theoretical particle called the Higgs Boson, the Higgs is as yet undiscovered but based on our understanding of particle physics it is at this point probable to exist. Evolution is an openly obsrvable and scientifically demonstrated FACT, the theory is by what means does evolution occur ie the theory of Evolution by natural selection

@Andyroo2319 Tim MInchin actually hopes that more of these guys will disapprove of the theory of gravity too, and float the fuck away. He has something there . . .

More Europeans need to stand up for their heritages, languages, and cultures. This is reverse discrimination and dangerous indeed.
