This pretentious asshole... "Christopher Huckster" is still around? Damn. Guess there are still enough lost souls in the world who actually believe in his quackery. Hey, I got a bridge for sale. Any "Huckster" fans out there???

Make a real criticism that has some content. Your ad homonim attack is nothing.

I see no difference ... ( 1 year ago by fpm229)

I see no difference between this huckster and televangelists. They're all sleazy, blood sucking profiteers. Those who claim 100% certainty (whether atheists or theists) are only deluding themselves. Those who feel the need to openly criticize the beliefs of others are lacking in self-esteem. Those who seek to profit by it are the lowest forms of life.

Hitchens is ... ( 1 year ago by vivatmusica)

Hitchens is courageous to tackle the religious ideologues and apologists. A delight to hear, and to have the opportunity to tour his apartment.
fpm229 - you must be some variety of cretin. There will always be a need to criticise beliefs that are both deluded and dangerous, and to write books that make such criticism available to the public. I suppose attempting to refute Hitchen's philosophical argument is way beyond your competence.

When did he say he ... ( 1 year ago by theinquisitor)

When did he say he could claim 100% certainty. He is arguing against exactly that kind of dogmatic insanity. All he's saying is that you can't claim to know what god wants, suggesting otherwise is the absurd claim.

I think Hitchens ... ( 1 year ago by MarquisdeBarrabas)

I think Hitchens openly criticizes the beliefs of others, not because he lacks self-esteem, but because he would like to see humanity evolve.
Think of it as tough love.

"I think Hitchens openly criticizes the beliefs of others, not because he lacks self-esteem, but because he would like to see humanity evolve."
I think that he can't admit to being wrong about anything.

Great to look round ... ( 1 year ago by liberalwatch)

Great to look round Hitch's pad, and to discover more about his influences. His peerless literary criticism and merit as an author is often overlooked in interviews where people only wish to jabber about iraq and the deity.

The entire program is now freely available for viewing at the BookTV site with better audio. Please buy the dvd if you feel so inclined. Support this format of programming and have a permanent copy for yourself.

I doubt anyone will see this comment, but if anyone knows what the musical piece is at the end of the video or at least who might have written it, I would love to know.
