Stephen Fry & Friends on the Life of Christopher Hitchens

Best wordsmith, orator, debater and thinker of my generation. Huge fan.

What about his brother??? A no show?

Pass the sick bag, Alice ...

I find rabid atheists,just as tedious as rabidly religious people.

Dawkins, the unfortunate bigot.

A “genius for friendship”? Not really. He hated too many people.

Make No mistake...he never gave in or "found" religion again.😊 died a free enlightened man🤙❤

I loved all the Fable Followers that got Hitchslapped over the years but I always was offput by his arrogance.
It was most evident when he was utterly wrong about Chancellor Cheney and his terror attack on Iraq.
Hitchens' utter inability to admit he was conned and wrong was a black mask on his legacy

Sometimes Hitch does my thinking for me. Greatest man on Earth; in 100 years time he will be truly revered and his outpouring will become 'Hitchensian".

Conspiracy theories are highly profitable for some

Isn’t it reassuring that such clever intellectuals such as Christopher and Salman resort to playing school boy word games with ‘slightly’ naughty words! 🤣🤣

This was such a touching and thoughtful tribute to a great man.

But... That poem sucked!

😂

Stephen Fry is a gift to mankind.

I'll wave to him from the walls of the New Jerusalem.

What is his epitaph?

To have witnessed such great oratary skill, Knowledge delivered
With wit and intelligence , christopher is a great enlightenment for
all to ponder... Stephen is such a loved man to deliver this event.
.among some of our greatest human beings ... thankyou 💚

When Christopher Hitchens met God they debated God's existence and God became an atheist.

Christopher Hitchens is who got me thinking more seriously about faith and the truths of war. You could never doubt Christopher Hitchens he was a marvellous man right to the end of his life... Stephen Fry is also a wonderful speaker who i tremendously love for his Intelligence and knowledge unlike mine but i do have enough brains to understand these great guys....

Beautiful introduction

Absolutely outstanding contribution to how we should revere this genius.....PEERLESS ... NO ONE CLOSE

What an incredibly benighted and terrifying populace.

What does "deep understanding that the connection between style and substance is absolute" mean?

Christopher Hitchens is so badly needed today with all this gender bull shit. Sadly missed.

I love Stephen. BUT.. disappointed in lack of cultural, gender, age, racial diversity in guests. Not a single brown, black, Asian, female in sight.

I think he died two weeks or so after this 😢

I miss that bloke. ✌🇦🇺

If only RIP!! is so ose to nothing that I hesitate to use it. My ignorance of the language is the reason so now as the song title Sail on

Young Hitchens sure was handsome!

Let us hope there may always be fearless advocates for truth and reason like Christopher Hitchens (and Dawkins & Fry). Similarly, may we hope religious adherents continue to have a voice for they shall facilitate the downfall of their own doctrine, simply by exposing it for what it is - fallacious and untenable in an increasingly enlightened world.
Of course, appeals to authority and poorly concealed ad hominem attacks will be the norm, as the religious struggle in the face of coherent criticism to (in an attempt to) defy the logic and reason levelled at them.
All Hitchens ever did was expose the hypocrisy, contradiction, and lack of logic that characterises religion and its hegemony.
Without trans-generational indoctrination, Circulus In Probando and Post Hoc Propter Ad Hoc fallacies, religion really has nothing to substantiate itself, it is merely a vestige of humanity's cultural and intellectual evolution.
Anyone with a functioning frontal lobe, unfettered by indoctrination, knows that religion has its origins in human imagination and creativity. Humans therefore own 'divine' morality, unordained by fanciful notions of divine provenance, and beautifully illustrated the world over throughout myriad times and places as being the result of inter-subjective reality.
It's time to put away your toys, sky fairy dolls included; play with them in private but don't expect me to play with them (to paraphrase the great CH himself).

Wonderful, much as I’ve seen lots of Hitch Footage, that was my first The Skip. Very thought provoking 😮

my anger at the church is deep disappointment and sadness and mourning the loss of potential killed and maimed...

Hopefully the Hitch, had he been still alive today, would have turned his efforts toward modern secular religions "wokeism" and "climate change" that are destroying civilizations as we speak

What a great gathering and even greater that Hitch could view it and understand how much he meant to so many. And so devastating also from this vantage point, watching Salman's contribution, who had assumed the worst times were behind him. So many are sending their love and 'willing' him toward recovery at this time.

I wish i was there

C.H. ‘This Is Your Life’ vibe, only not as long as it should have been.

Trust the “science”.

I still feel the loss of Christopher Hitchens from the public sphere.

This seems to me like such a different world to the world we live in today.

Have you noticed that fry kept on having to look down and read his notes? What an intellectual poser

Has anyone tried to decode the message Christopher Buckley left in his facial ticks? It may be Morse code, but I don't know.

Christopher Hitchens was
Considered “hard left”. He would most certainly be described as a right winger if alive in these times.

watched Hitchens rip Ben Stein a new one over the "Chris" blunder. But seeing him rip into the catholic church on behalf of Stephen over their homophobia was just masterful and a rare show of deep disgust on Hitchens' part

A wonderful living eulogy for Hitch. So sad that all these years later Salman Rushdie is almost murdered by a religious fxnatic.

Spoiled by Fry who doesn’t know when to shut up.
