Un deceniu în urmă, înainte de moartea sa, Hitchens ne-a avertizat de tendințele ipocrite ale societății, fiind un critic dur al terorismului islamic și al cenzurii opiniilor “controversate“ în presa liberală. Având cancer în stadiu terminal, el a scris într-un eseu în 2011:

“Opinia mea este foarte simplă. Dreptul celorlalți la libera exprimare face parte din al meu. Dacă vocea cuiva este redusă la tăcere, atunci sunt lipsit de dreptul de a-l auzi. (…) Libertatea de exprimare constă în a putea spune oamenilor ceea ce poate nu doresc să audă și că trebuie să se extindă, mai presus de toate, asupra celor care gândesc diferit este, pentru mine, evident”.

📃 Kierkegaard, Wallace, Hitchens: despre limitele ironiei

Summary: A retired dad now anthropology student shares his efforts to reach his  well-intentioned wife who is homeschooling their kids using Young Earth Creationist curricula.

Watch video here: https://youtu.be/NMBiD1eCPGY

I have the utmost respect for both this man and his wife. Should she ever one day stumble across this video series, I hope she does not feel that she was blindsided, that we were making fun of her, or anything disrespectful like that. In my view, the value of these interactions was far to valuable and warranted pushing the envelope by sharing this discussion. I hope they both feel the same way. Perhaps we can return the favor by offering some guidance in the video comments below.

Ep 441: Feedback | Anthony Magnabosco | Creationist Teaches Our Kids (1) (Preparation)

[149 (129) Holy Fucked] Prompted By Debates

Christopher Hitchens delivers an anthem for free speech

Christopher Hitchens On Free Speech

The arguments for and against God.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proto-languages
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens

Where Is God and How Do You Know

“Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence,” wrote Christopher Hitchens, a man whose afterlife on YouTube has come to define the entirety of his decades-long career. Though Hitchens always pilloried the existence of a higher power and those who believed in one, his earlier output—defined by his elite education, Marxism, and savvy deployments of Beltway gossip—seems at odds with his later years as a road-show atheist. In this episode, Christian Lorentzen, a freelance critic who reviewed a collection of Hitchens’s writings from the Nineties for the August issue of Harper’s Magazine, Maureen Tkacik, a Senior Fellow at the American Economic Liberties Project, and Luke Savage, a staff writer at Jacobin and the author of The Dead Center, reflect on the evolution of Hitchens’s style as a writer, thinker, and speaker.

Ode To Hitch

A defining feature of early 21st-century society was the rise of the "New Atheism" movement, led by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, et al. This had a huge impact on western attitudes to religion at the time, often inspiring an ironically "religious" faith in its followers. But where did it all end up? Why has it lost appeal today? And what are its ongoing "fruits" in today's culture? Andy and Aaron share their experiences of interacting with atheists and discuss how we might think and respond well to the ongoing "afterlife" of the New Atheism in our own time.

Harper’s Magazine, the oldest general-interest monthly in America, explores the issues that drive our national conversation, through long-form narrative journalism and essays, and such celebrated features as the iconic Harper’s Index. With its emphasis on fine writing and original thought Harper’s provides readers with a unique perspective on politics, society, the environment, and culture. The essays, fiction, and reporting in the magazine’s pages come from promising new voices, as well as some of the most distinguished names in American letters, among them Annie Dillard, Barbara Ehrenreich, Jonathan Franzen, Mary Gaitskill, David Foster Wallace, and Tom Wolfe.

An occasional podcast featuring Aaron Edwards and Andy Bannister. Each episode sees the two friends take a contemporary issue in culture and explore it from a Christian perspective.

Featuring banter, philosophy, culture, theology, bad jokes, apologetics, and more — the podcast aims to help Christians think wisely about the challenges of living in the 21st century.
