Authoritarianism.

Although this is Hitchens, he speaks about north Korea and Iran and Iraq and other dictatorships. Very little about religion. It's a bit long, about an hour. But very Interesting by a first hand witness.

Rejecting God and the Bible and putting faith in satanic prophets like Hitchens, who claim there is peace following death for atheists, is extremely unwise. Hitchens was a thinker but his many of his thoughts were horribly wrong.

Rejecting God and the Bible and putting faith in satanic prophets like Hitchens,

Satanic prophets? Are you mad? This guy did research in 60 countries to formulate his opinions yet you call him a prophet? You don't know what that means.

who claim there is peace following death for atheists,

Show me where he has ever said that. You are a liar. What has lying got in it for you?

is extremely unwise. Hitchens was a thinker but his many of his thoughts were horribly wrong.

Not one has been proven to be wrong. In 2005 he predicted what is happening in middle east is the beginning of the inevitable.
He has sided with no one because it's religious. Unlike you because Jesus was a Jew.
You haven't read enough of Hitchens to formulate an unbiased opinion yet you belch complete lies. You're so addicted to the god shit you have lost all fundamentals of curiosity. You cannot tolerate anything that goes against your filthy god. It's not as if religion has ever done anything for you.

Traveling the world does not make a God-rejecting fool wise.

Believing in an all-knowing deity that knew from the git-go that Adam & Eve would screw up and then the entire human race would screw up except Noah & co and need to be drowned is not something that seems to be any sign of great wisdom.

Believing by faith that there is no God is a dumb theological belief.

Atheists do not believe by faith.
They do not say their prayers.
They do not attend Atheist Churches.

Not believing in God is identical to not believing in Santa Claus, or unicorns.

The proper scientific stance is simply to say that since the existence of God cannot be proven or disproved, then once should be an agnostic. A god MIGHT have once existed and might still exist. Just as another planet populated by humans somewhere in the Universe could exist.

The Biblical character known as "God" is far less likely than the god of the Deists, who created a universe as a watch maker might make a watch, then wind it up and them walk away to create other .

The Biblical God rejected eating lobsters and wearing blended fabrics, and claims to be three (3) individuals simultaneously separate and united.

Why did it not occur to the Biblical God to have Jesus write his own Gospel rather than leave it up to four guys who disagreed on a variety of facts?
We know that the Biblican God thought writing down commandments was a good idea.
But Jesus wrote nothing at all.

Hitchens is finding THAT out. Although if I remember correctly he was moving toward the idea of a creator/savior.

Atheists do not tend to believe that any part of an individual lives on after death.
The only form of immortality that exists is the memories of the deceased by the living.

Atheists are only a small part of the population and what they say isn't necessarily the truth. Hitchens seemed to be changing his mind in that respect before his death. His brother has said some rather interesting things in the past year or so in regard to the same issue.

Atheists do not believe by faith.

Atheists either trust by faith that God exists, or they trust by faith that God does not exist. Either way, their theology is by faith because they have no eyewitness confirmation that what they believe is true.

I hope he did repent of his sins and find forgiveness in Jesus.

Atheists trust in the belief by faith that there is no heaven or hell.

IT is not a belief, but a lack of a belief, not the same thing: in fact the opposite.

How does one "move toward an idea"? Is there some midpoint in which one neither believes or does not believe?
You really oughta tell us what this was about.

Are you saying that what you say you believe but cannot prove with empirical evidence is not really a belief by sight and not by faith? Or do you have no faith in your atheistic beliefs?
