I'm a rather late fan of Mr. Hitchens, but I feel good to have found this. The world is the poorer for his passing.

He might have had cancer and a tumor, but he had balls of steel. His pain was not for nothing. It should make us appreciate life even that much more. Thanks Christopher.

One of the greatest orators of the last 100 years. The world has lost a true hero for the search of truth .

...the cosmos which doesn't know I'm here... and won' t notice when I'm gone...

We are so lucky that he lived in a time when he could be recorded so much. Can you imagine if we could still listen to Thomas Paine now? He proved that he not only had brains, he had guts.

I agree 👍 he had the opportunity in a good education 👏 And he gave it to us in his lifetime. He did the public proud to hear such a gentleman who spoke truthfulness. He will never fade in death . His voice will continue in his wonderful writing and debates. Love and thanks to you Sir Christopher Hitchens a true Night of the people's.

I've never known a more courageous individual.

Here is a man who honestly searched for the answers or he couldn't have been as eloquent as he was.May he find peace!!

Echoing so many, Good-by with respect for your dignity and integrity even in your dying.

I miss him.

I’ve lost many people to cancer, over 15 since 2012. I’ve also had 3 who’ve survived with varying levels of resulting damage. My mother had a cancer that was only seen 50 times in medical history. I’ve feared I will someday develop it if I don’t die sooner from my traveling the third world and crazy luck

Love him. Miss him. An intellectual rogue until the end. So admirable.

I admire you Mr. Hitchens and will always do.

“Surely now you’re dying your fears will overcome your reason” this one hit me hitch

Oh how we miss your well timed "hitch slaps "! Every debate really is lacking without the brilliant mind of Christopher, every debate reminds us just how incredible he was. Christopher we miss you so very much, debates will never be the same. 💛👋

I still miss him

I will say that I admire a man who had the courage of his own convictions, even if that conviction was diametrically different from mine. He was never to be persuaded of the existence of God, just as many cannot be persuaded that He doesn’t. What I do think is that a huge intellect such as he had, created his own credo. Incredible human being who was brave enough to live without hope. But he never despaired.

"To be relatively healthy until 62 is to be dealt a pretty good hand by the cosmos... which doesn't know I'm here, and won't notice when I'm gone"

7:11 What he says here is very important and true. If you are religious and "pray for somebody" but not primarily for their recovery but them to "find god" that is a strong sign that you a horrible person who values their beliefs over someone else's wellbeing.

Total legend

I love the way he can express himself

One of my favorite quotes for dear Mr Hitchens is “burning the candle at both ends but it does give a beautiful light”.

what an amazing person he was... to have even a small percentage of his intelligence!

What a beautiful intellect we lost. This is a man whose work I needed when I was questioning my own cultural faith long ago when his most divisive work was being published. And in my own figurative backyard too. If ever there was occasion to time travel…

❤ A loss we cannot replace

I miss his indefatigable profound energy ,a man is only remembered for his wealth or legacy Christopher left us with both a wealth of knowledge and his legacy of truth ..

Miss him

I’m in pain and being tortured. I have a friend who has autism and learning difficulties and she was being systematically and ruthlessly bullied. I stood between them and her so they are now trying to bully me. They are trying to destroy my life, but I don’t care, I am glad they are doing it to me, because then I know she is not alone. On Wednesday evening we met with the Met, and her bullies are in for a nasty surprise.

It’s always the cool ones that go. Peaceful journey, Hitch.

When asked if he was a Clinton hater, by Larry King, Hitchens replied, "I don't hate the Clintons; I despise them; it doesn't rise to the level of hate."

R. I. P Hitch... You are thoroughly missed. Truly one of the brilliant minds of this century... You shall live on..

Amazing man

I miss this man and his amazing mind. RIP brother

I simply wanted him to be well. The spiritual end of things was up to him. I don’t think it’s wrong to pray for the spiritual awakening of another but the only way it’s respectful is to do so quietly.

ah, he got one of his last wishes, bin laden was killed may 2, hitchens died dec 15 2011. he missed kim jong un being sworn in by 2 days. one world trade center completed construction just a year later. RIP forever and ever to one of the greatest minds of the 20th and 21st centuries.

All the way till the end he spoke the truth about thiest ❤

He did suffer for a better cause, every moment a gift to us

Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

Great intellect and wit. Sorely missed.

What a man..truth

At 4:12 it’s so ironic. “In fact one of my occasional silly thoughts is I wish I was suffering for a good cause. A cause larger than myself.” He goes on to say suffering for the liberty of humanity would be worth it. He is saying he wished for something that he spent his entire life attempting to refute. God sent his son to suffer and die for our sins in order to redeem and liberate humanity. Hitchens spent his entire life attacking that and even mocked it at times. And here on his death bed he grasped it for a brief moment, of how wonderful it would be. So tragic and sad.

Hitchens had much more than a sharp wit. He had huge depth and breadth and total recall. He was simply brillant, and what's more, he had integrity, or at least endeavored to have integrity. such a rare man, such a loss, so needed today. Oh we are the poorer without him. heartfelt condolance to his family and friends.

Love you Chris Hitchens a light in the darkness of a suffocating religious world.

Pray for Hitchens Day. He was absolutely correct in his assessment of its effectiveness.

I grew up a young earth creationist. Kent hovind is a mind blowing genius... to an 8 year old. Took me a long time and a science based education to break free from much of the nonsense my childhood was based on. I’ll never be an atheist, hardly a theist... but in that transition from escaping genesis as a science manual for the creation of the universe.... I missed out on this great mind. I’ve only ever known of Hitchens post Hitchens. 😕😔

thank you for uploading, always a pleasure to listen to the Hitch.

I do think the concept of battling is relevant when you do have a chance of remission. For those with terminal cancer or degenerative disorders, I agree it’s just about you recognizing and accepting this powerful force of nature is outside your control and will overwhelm any response until you die, so you’re not battling, you’re just waiting and making the best of your remaining existence in the waiting room.

I made my own cancer. Since it is part of me i love it like the rest of me. Eventually, my stage four death sentence was commuted.

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27 (Holy Bible) I know why you’re here, you have your own mortality in mind. I want you to know, dear reader, there is in fact a God and after you die you will stand before Him and He will judge you. The good news is that since you are still alive you still have opportunity to reach out for His mercy by believing in the Son of God who paid the penalty for your sins so you don’t have to stand before God and be judged for your own sins. Give your life to Christ today! believe on the Lord Jesus and be saved!

My hope is that those who said that Hitch's cancer was a punishment from a god will soon enjoy their own visit to Tumortown.

Love you man

God bless him 🙂 he was honest till his last breath🎗️🎗️🎗️

Cancer is a Malignant Alien! 👾🧬 Christopher Hitchens!

He wrote well; such will live for a long time.

God I miss his cool, visceral wit and wisdom. He was so matter of fact about everything, so opinionated, but he has clearly formed his opinions very carefully and intelligently. We need more like him. Jordan Peterson is in the same vein, and has a huge intellect also, but Hitch’s demeanour and his voice give him an irrefutable edge. We miss you, Hitch.

Reading some comment from Christian make me sad that they do not know how to respect others, we need more Christopher Hitchens

Miss you, Hitch 💞

That was great! Much appreciated. The people who matter the most always leave us too early.

2 of those things have somewhat fallen into their place. It pleases me to know that you would find happiness in those facts. Thank you Chris.

"You are a fluke of the Universe, you have no right to be here, and weather you know it or not the Universe is Laughing behind your back"...Remember?

Hitch ❤

Christopher, you have proved that God does not exist. When such a good guy dies so young that is itself proof of the non-existence of a god that gives a crap.

The more I listen to this man, the less I think of his knowledge of Christianity. May he rest in peace.

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" - God on Hitchens et al.

Not “against the world, just “ in the world”.

Hopefully not the last clear thinker but one that will be remembered and missed I feel.

Does this not show that chemotherapy is for the most a waste of time? I know quite a few that have passed away after having chemotherapy and they seem to be strung along by their doctors. My father in law was told he was getting better, then told he was terminal right at the end of his chemotherapy and he died soon after.

Didn't always agree with his opinion& ideas but he was so intelligent and well spoken it was hard to ignore what hes said. ( it still hasn't made me feel any better about God and his existence or lack thereof)

I just found out that he had passed!

If there'll b a judgment day, he'll b in paradise. He fought for mind over dogmatism.

my cancer was close, hodgkinien , (neck ganglion) lucky its a "easy" to cure 80% chance survival ironicly cancer is one of best gift i ever had. now every freakign second are precious, and wont hurt a single sentient being. ill die vegan.. but not yet.

Read this story and think about it.....reflect upon it........question it....get the meaning of the story....then be selfish and ask what about me....who am I........and what next for me.... Rich Man and Lazarus 19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ 25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ 27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ 30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ 31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father .. Matthew 10:33

when you find it disgusting that someone is praying for your eternal soul, praying that you reconcile with God so that you may see the gates of heaven, how much hate for God do you need in your heart that you will hate what someone does out of love?

ugh, when I heard that people were praying for Hitchens, I threw up in my mouth a little - mostly because I knew they would be praying that he would repent or some ghastly idea like that. What a horror to spite some one with prayer in their death throws. I've heard this directed at me too - people have said they will pray for me. And I ask them, please don't. But they are going to do it anyway without my consent and against my better reason. They that pray for you are going to make sure you know they are praying that you join their gods and churches. And honestly I don't know why they wouldn't - that's what their screeds tell them to do. But it's obviously grotesque and toxic and incredulous.

What is the reason/s He says he feels better at dusk?

This may be a shallow comment but What the hell is going in with stacking his books like that!? I've seen it more than once in in other videos.

I am very sorry about the religious people who have told you very cynical things. There is a lot to be learned from both sides. I hope you find peace and happiness and most of all, love.

Christopher means Christ Bearer .

Oh boy.. I'm going to use his, "why me?", answer. I've felt the same way my entire life. Question is.. Why not me?

I see God in Hitchens. His eloquence helps me believe our source of origin wants us to know the sublime.

He should not have started smoking.

Any smart and intelligent person would organise their books in an upright fashion so as to access them easily but not the so called best orator, most intellectual genius of our time 😂😂😂😂😂. Just imagine removing all the books to get to the bottom.

Everybody likes Christopher but truthfully he got his big start after Patrick Andrews created, and presented another Evolution theory that was correct .

The tool you used as a sword against God. Was turned by the creator in to your destruction, suffering and downfall. Now you will be crying for forgiveness & mercy from that very same Almighty God you mocked. But you are now somewhere, where there is no return and no do over. Today you realise for eternity how insignificant you were.

Hitchins loved to play book Jenga lol. Miss that son of a bitch. Only the good die young.

ever since we come to this side of our living projject we, become subjets to those that decide when our time is next, according to our behavior, in one way or another, as for myself, I have been already 20 times next to my death ,point starting from sicknesses to incredible fatal survived accidents, and as I am writing this note I may have a few days more to live due to my finacial conditions, I wonder ifnow, I have reched my time, so Dear Richard you may notbe a believer in this existence , but , you must know that Divinity decided that you had to start all over again, with less pepper and more salt. I also take thid opportunity to say good by to this incredible world, many rich people would need my health, but I must die because I don't have their wealth. but I believe strongly in Divinities, where Christ is King.

He says 'Robert Mugabe' & 'Henry kissinger' but who's the third man?

Love the man. He's a hero of mine. But. There is no such thing by it's very definition as an Atheist, Just as there is no such thing as a Theist. At best and at the point of passing the only point of view is that of Agnostisism. Because the reality is that none of us truly know, until it's our time (if there is such a thing).

🥺

A man that clever and insightful. And then the drinking and smoking. He sold himself and the world short.

Very few original questions.

And nobody gives two shots those that do cheer on the massacre

I envy him.

We now know he found the truth when he died and stood before Jesus Christ the one he tried so hard to deny. Please don’t follow in his footsteps, turn from your sins and turn to Christ.

I don't have an opinion.

if there was a God why would he give anyone cancer

So unnessary! God is Love and Jesus is Peace. Mr. Hitchens believed in Love and Peace. He fought and stressed over something that was unnessary. And Stress caused the Cancer. He is really pretty dumb..it is too bad. 😊❤

Why me......? lifestyle perhaps....Hitch seems to always skim the surface in a fundamentalist way......he never seem to got below the surface.......it’s always good to check the engine before going on a long one way journey...
