Christopher Hitchens Has Succumbed To Cancer.

I like watching some of those interviews where he's clearly drunk.

I like Hitch. But I'm not a fan of all the Hitchens wanna-bes.

Thanks for posting a few more clips @Gorn! A greatly missed thinker and conveyer of ideas.

The man liked to have a good time. If only he had quit the smoking. The alcohol didn’t help but he might’ve stuck around longer without the cigarettes.

I used to love listening to him in my former life.

You should give him another listen. You might still enjoy it.

I found this enlightening, or at least a different perspective: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2003/10/the-fanatic-fraudulent-mother-teresa.html

Mmhmm. Nothing I’d like to say, including sources, about her is allowed to be said here. I recommend searching out what Mr. Hitchens had to say about her if you’re interested.

Yes. I watched the entire discussion below. But his arguments against religion had the opposite effect of what he intended, at least to me.

He was obviously gifted with intelligence, but unfortunately he desired to live in a world in which that gift would bring him special privilege. A world which would have no room for a deity.
