Peter Hitchens: "I used to believe this piffle."
I don't know what Peter Hitchens's pay grade is, but he must make more than Barack Obama.
Around 2:53, the atheist scientist dude starts licking his lips. You can hear it. He knows he's in trouble.
"Hockeysticks and bananas." LOL.
try new Hitchens: same great accent, less obfuscating
ReplyDeleteI know. P. Hitchens is like a modern day C. S. Lewis. I think the best we can hope for in the case of C. Hitchens is a death-bed conversion.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever hear Christopher talk about his mother's and her lover's suicide pact? He was 24 at the time. It almost made me cry as I heard him describe it on the radio. Here's the wikipedia:
"In November 1973, Hitchens' mother committed suicide in Athens in a suicide pact with her lover, a former clergyman named Timothy Bryan,[9] in what was initially thought to be a murder scene, after overdosing on sleeping pills in adjoining hotel rooms with Timothy slashing his wrists in the bath to be sure. Hitchens flew alone to Athens to recover her remains. While there he reported on the Greek constitutional crisis of the military junta that was happening at the time. It became his first leading article for the New Statesman. Hitchens stated his belief that his mother was pressured into taking her own life under the fear of his father becoming aware of her infidelity, in an already strained and unhappy marriage, and with both her children now independent adults."
That's rough. If that happened to me all I can say is "but for the grace of God, there go I."
strangely something similar happened with glenn beck's mother
ReplyDeleteeven if christopher hitchens has a death bed conversion, he has inoculated himself against it by claiming that if such a thing happens he will be out of his head by then, indeed it will be proof of such.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of DO NOT OPEN THIS DOOR!
That is the best, Pik. "But why do they hate you? Because... they... are... JEALOUS!!!"
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched that movie in far too long
