Absolutely love this clip. Sorry if anyone's stupid enough to believe in unproven fact but they should feel offended.

Ah imagine to have the faith (or parents with faith) and giving you the opportunity to sing as a 'castrati' in a Church Choir. Heavenly, n'est pas ?

Sometimes I just love to look at some of the many clips of Christopher Hitchens in action.He was an absolute master of the put down of religious bigots. He is sadly missed. ........

Thanks mainly to YouTube I have been a big fan of Hitchen's for a while now, he has penned some great quotes -
"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."
"Human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it."
"To terrify children with the image of hell... to consider women an inferior creation. Is that good for the world?"
Had to laugh when I heard about the book written by Larry Alex Taunton, an evangelical Christian who authored “The Faith of Christopher Hitchens: The Restless Soul of the World’s Most Notorious Atheist.” He suggests Hitchens "considered becoming a Christian" towards the end of his battle with cancer. He would say that about a famous atheist, after his death, when he is not around to call bs, wouldn't he ?
