Happy Birthday, Hitch!

You may as well invoke Ray Comfort as a leading mind of our times. Go play with some dolls, kid. Insulting someone just because he doesn't belong to your camp is laughable, childish. The ass you're defending is an antitheist, antitheism is not a rational position, it's pure hatred for anything religious by definition. Hitchens is a journalist, WLC is a philosopher. Journalists should stick to journalism, philosophers, to philosophy. If you disagree, I hope you won't mind Hitchens performing surgery on your little brain. Yeah, Hitchens can become a surgeon, kids. All he has to do is to throw some witted sentences about incisions and grafts.

Small reminder : Hitchens doesn't make arguments. Philosophers do. Making arguments needs dozens of years leafing through endless pages of hardcore philosophy. Hitchens' "intellectual" career is nothing more than a violent reaction to 9/11 His rebuttals to WLC's cosmological argument? .....

You feel violated by Hitchens.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Their mouth parts may differ, but they all metaphorically suck blood and transmit disease.

Remember folks, people should stick to what they do and not have opinions on anything else. Journalists should stick to journalism. Philosophers should stick to philosophy WLC should stick to lying and making shit up. Chloroform should stick to asking people if they want fries with that. If we ever meet on a professional level, Chloroform. Yes, I want fries. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

Yeah, WLC is a philosopher whose philosophy led him to consider and proclaim that Islam is a fraud and fake religion, that it is wicked and that it is immoral to preach Islam Video No matter what Klor does, he always manages to crap on himself.

If I happened to have the same rhetorical skill this guy had, it would be dishonest of me to delve into philosophy and, even more specifically, philosophy of religion. I'll be better off using my skills to promote various styles of french fries, for instance. That would be more coherent and intellectually honest. Even true things can be ridiculed and *dismantled* in a debate when one debater somewhat manages to entertain the audiance more than his counterpart. Debates, overall, are rarely a good way to lay out facts. (April 15, 2020 at 4:55 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote:(April 15, 2020 at 10:55 am)Klorophyll Wrote: Hitchens is a journalist, WLC is a philosopher.

I respect lots of christian apologists myself and don't even pretend to be able to "answer" them or anything. The important thing is that they are intellectually coherent. |
