Rubbish

OK, I was planning to comment on a video on YouTube, and would have gladly kept this between me and the video poster, but said YouTuber has, not to my surprise, disabled comments, and you can’t even send a private message, so I’m making light of this here.

YouTube user, shockofgod, posted this outrageous video in December 2011, which seems to suggest, ridiculously, that Christopher Hitchens was somehow sympathetic with Christianity. Obviously, there is no evidence for this and much, much evidence to the contrary.

I had already prepared a reply when I learned that the YouTube user cowardly blocked all comments and messages on the post.

Here’s what I would have said in response to the video:

It seems believers have no limit to their dishonesty, huh? So “Christ-like.” Pitiful edit on this Hitchens video. You know as well as I that Hitchens never supported religious belief in general, much less Christianity, and he even said that some people would try to say posthumously that he, like other nonbelievers who passed on, eventually converted. This is disrespectful rubbish. You know as well as I that it’s rubbish, which makes it all the much more egregious.
