Christopher Hitchens gives a talk in Canada on Free Speech in November 2006. This is the end of the twenty minute speech originally from One Good Move: http://onegoodmove.org/1gm/1gmarchive/2007/03/free_speech_6.html
Hitchens is right that religion should be treated with ridicule, hatred, and contempt.

Lyran -Jesus so loved the world he wrote nothing down ,acquired no secretary scribe.Those that made Christianity into a religion knew how to extort converts by fear .

One major flaw (amongst thousands) in the christian's man-made god is in regard to the deity's supposed omniscience and omnipotence. If this is the case he would have KNOWN his creations (Dust-boy and rib-lady)would eat the apple, thus condemning all future generations (a little harsh anyway for a "loving god"?). He KNEW what choices would be made, in which case he is no deity, he's an evil sky-god that would make the worst psychopath blush. Man made this god in his own inadequate image. Yuk!

White noise. "Talk to the bible, 'cause the brain ain't listening".
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
The way - your ways must be turned away from and become HIS ways, purpose yourself to do this
The truth - everything that was said in the bible about him is and will forever be true.
The Life - all life is in him
Ask forgiveness for your sins and purpose yourself to never do any of them again and trust Jesus and recieve him. He appeased the wrath of God on the cross and rose again.

All monotheisms pick and chooses from the holy books, only the good things apply, not the bad things.
If that were to be completely moral and right, maybe we can thank Hitler because he did unify and mobilzied a nation, eventhough he killed so many people in the process.
If you pick and choose, you are inviting the idea that the person who does wrong should have more credit for the good things it did rather than the bad.
Religion MUST be treated like Hitchens put it.

isn't the idea of going to eternal paradise a bit selfish? people don't worship god out of reverence, they are just afraid of hell.

so, just because somebody fucked and made a baby, i should be on the hook for their health care? i think not. people shouldn't breed what they can't feed. period.

if adherants to religion didn't try to kill me, i wouldn't care what they believed. if you want to be christian, then, go ahead, just leave me alone.
