Video of the day -- Hitchens on Islam


Christopher Hitchens has been lost to us for more than a decade now -- but his words will never die.  Of particular interest, I thought, was the segment starting at 5:44 where he observes how more humane societies are possible when the true morality innate in humans overrides the fake morality promulgated by religion.  But if you know Hitchens, you know all of this will be good.

  1. He is missed. We need another outspoken genius, with zero tolerance for BS, to fill his shoes.

    On a completely different note, if you have access to Chris Rock’s latest performance on Netflix, I think you’ll appreciate it.

  2. There's no one else quite like him. I hope someday there will be.

    I don't have Netflix or anything like that, but I'm sure I'll eventually be able to find it on YouTube or somewhere similar.

  3. We do need someone so eloquent to take up the role once more. He left a mighty big hole.
