• ‘Militant Pundit’ Christopher Hitchens Dies at 62

  December 16, 2011 at 9:55am

  The good, say the mystics of spirit, is God, a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man’s power to conceive- a definition that invalidates man’s consciousness and nullifies his concepts of existence…Man’s mind, say the mystics of spirit, must be subordinated to the will of God… Man’s standard of value, say the mystics of spirit, is the pleasure of God, whose standards are beyond man’s power of comprehension and must be accepted on faith….The purpose of man’s life…is to become an abject zombie who serves a purpose he does not know, for reasons he is not to question. Ayn Rand

  “Human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it.” – Christopher Hitchens

  Really? The ‘speeding pontoon boat’ caused the accident? Want to wager a small sum on that ?

  A pontoon boat (normally) will not go much over 15-20 mph. Most only reach speeds of around 10-15 mph. If you think the pontoon boat was the one that caused the accident due to excessive speed in low light conditions, you need your head examined.

  Sorry, no. It is up to you the believer to provide proof of your god’s existence. One does not have to believe in an invisible friend for adults to have morality.
  The ten commandments. Really? How’s this one:I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me. Wow. Now there is a compassionate and all loving god for you! You do know there are more than ten, right? How about this one:Neither shall you covet your neighbor’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbor’s house, or field, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. Gee, a god who acknowledges slavery, but asks you nor covet your neighbors property. How god like! I could go on and on, but you get the point. Don’t you?

  How compassionate of you. I’m sure your god would be so proud. (If one existed)
  Atheists in foxholes have been protecting your lazy ass long before the day you were born.

  And you think that refers to YOUR choice of a god? How pretentious and absurd.
  Religion is a crutch for the weak minded and those that cannot think for themselves. Please prove the existence of your god. While you are at it disprove the existence of the thousands of other gods people worship. Thanks

  In reply to Malcom0983.

  Exactly what a non believer would say to you. “Look at all those people crowding into a church to show others that they too are a part of the group”. Why is it necessary to worship among the like minded? Same reason we all get together with friends and associates. We have something in common. See how that works?
