Christopher Hitchens - "A genius of our time." 1949 - 2011

So my next blog (this one) was supposed to be about something else, now I feel like I have to do this..

Christopher Hitchens may not be a name many of you know about. He was an author, a journalist, and a self-proclaimed Anti-Theist.

His books are famous world-wide, perhaps some have heard of them?

GOD is NOT GREAT: How Religion Poisons Everything. No One Left to Lie To: The Values of the Worst Family.

The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the NonbelieverThe Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice

He was, and still is, considered as one of the most intellectual people on the planet, and that will not change anytime soon.

He had the talent of speech, unlike anyone i've ever heard speaking. And I watch a LOT of debates as it is part of my interest.

Christopher Hitchens was not afraid of saying what he was thinking, much like myself. - And if you had the extraordinary chance of ever debating with him, he would tear you to shreds with his immense skills of speechcraft. In Skyrim, speech goes up to 100. If Christopher Hitchens was a character in that game, he would have the speech of several thousands. - Such was his skill of speech.

Sadly, Christopher Hitchens, one of my personal heroes, and also, one of the people I have learnt the most from by watching him debate, tragically passed away the 15:th of December from cancer.

I decided to embed a few videos of him. You may hate him, then again, you may LOVE him. No matter what you think, he is definitely, without the question of a doubt, a fucking brilliant speaker.

For those of you who are thinking about saying Rest in Peace. I'll say what Hitchens would want me to say, and what I would want to have said if I had died.

FUCK YOU! I AM DEAD! I AM NOT RESTING IN PEACE, I AM FUCKING DEAD!
