The Wit Of Christopher Hitchens

#1  Postby Sia » Dec 20, 2011 12:26 pm

Hi, fellow "non-theists".
I took some time to make a video of (Now death) Christopher Hitchens.

It's not that long, but i think it just about covers it all. Although, i will try to make a longer version.

Apart from your horrible video editing skills, I don't think you know how to code this properly:

What's the point of that video, is it supposed to be "funny"?

His wit did fluctuated a bit over the years.

Sir, I'm pretty sure that i have a higher expertise in Computer programming, namely Assembly, C++, .NET, and so on.

I couldn't stop laughing when he said "And he's a, fat-face, frontman(Unclear here)".
Kind of ironic that HE calls someone else a "fat-face"...

Sorry Sia but that celebrates nothing of the wit of the Hitch. I take it you didn't like him or am I missing something?

Am I supposed to be impressed? I could learn these without having to make several edits in order to peddle up a bland and distasteful video. We'll be sure to call upon your knowledge when needed and met, but comedy is not in your expertise.

A pathetic swipe at a corpse that is still warm, A childish attempt to troll people you have been unable to convince, a hail Mary pass when we thought you had fucked off for good to whatever anti-science backwater of the internet you came from having realised that determined and unwavering religious fundamentalism is not sufficient evidence for anything. And still a much better effort than your debating skills.

Anyways, now that we've found your youtube account:

Sia wrote:Yes. Atheism is a belief system, in disguise, however.
I made a video several days ago to shut the mouths of the children on Youtube and other sites ,for streaming videos, as they use this "Religion poisons every" as a counter-argument for every Theistic-statement. Although, "Religion poisons every" is, ironic as it is, a doctrine of Atheism.

I made a video not long ago explaining, as well as proving, how New-Atheism is a religion. If you want me to list the beliefs, doctrines, and world-views, that you surely should know of yourself, let me know and i will post them.


Sia, which of the three videos that you have up is the one that proves that atheism is a religion? I asked for it before you ran away and I'm just dying to see it.

As an attack on Hitchens, it wasn't even that clever. Sorry :sigh:

What the hell was that? Why was it framed such that it seems like I'm looking down a tunnel? How does this video show (or attack, as the case may be) Hitchens' wit?

Looks like a video editing cluster-fuck of fail to me.

That, as in the "tunnel-effect" you speak of, would be HD quality. In an attempt to render the pixels at a better format, it has to be resized.

I see you are a fan of Hitchens. Sad that he has passed away, huh?

You are not missing anything.

I'd like to see one single "cleaver" ("Intelligent") statement coming from Hitchens.
And all this biased "Religion poisons everything", doesn't count. He's incoherent, idiotic as well as foolish. Not to mention that he stutters like hell and copies his "debate-material" from other people. Did i mention that he's a sellout? What degree does he even have, in Philosophy, or any other worthy discipline within science?
Oh, yea. He's a Journalist...Right.....A Journalist. As if it requires anything to become such.

So, to all those "non-theists" out there that thinks he deserves some credibility and honor....Well, again
- I'd really like to see anything remotely intelligent coming from his OWN words, and his OWN mouth.

Ah, I see. Unfortunately it's hard to see that the video quality is good because it's so tiny. My computer (and internet connection) isn't fast enough that it's worthwhile to maximize every video on my screen. YouTube videos in general look like shit, so you'd probably be better off just putting it up in normal format.

I definitely enjoy of his work, he was an excellent speaker and writer. I definitely think there is room for criticism of his ideas, and he could be quite boorish at times (arguably justified). I'm curious how you think your video addresses Hitchens, because honestly I can't tell from watching it.

My video "addresses" the true Hitchens, as to how i see and hear him when he is "debating", or simply spewing his biased lies to his own community(Which theists do, too.).

It's amazing how a 40(40+ ?) year old man can mouth-off and completely ignore his opponents responses
- being of course in the W.L.Craig debate.

For that to be worthwhile, first you'd have to show that you'd recognize a clever or intelligent statement. I see no evidence of this. All I see is a lot of bitterness at having one's sacred cow slaughtered. Pull the mote from thine own eye, etc.

You can always do it the "right way"...Actually post something of such mentioned sort, and await my response?
