With his signature wit and razor-sharp intellect, Hitchens dismantles the notion that <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/atheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atheism</span></a> and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a> are incompatible, exposing the arrogance and danger of such thinking. "It's Insulting to Suggest that You Can't Be Moral if You Don't Believe in God"is more than a statement—it's a bold defense of human conscience, reason, and the capacity for goodness without divine command. Watch as Hitchens challenges assumptions and sparks a conversation that’s as relevant today as ever.<br>Atheism <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bible</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religion</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>morality</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/atheist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atheist</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>christianity</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/debate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>debate</span></a><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T42c633hQ3k" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=T42c633hQ3</span><span class="invisible">k</span></a></p>

Mister Prickles 🦔<p>Jensen quotes a couple of <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ChristopherHitchens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChristopherHitchens</span></a>'s bons mots approvingly.

John Foley<p>This might be the most special gift I've ever received. </p><p>I grew up in an Irish Catholic home, and was sent to Catholic school from K-12. Despite all their efforts, I never really believed. </p><p>I announced my Atheism around age 18, which didn't go well. My mom even insulted my intelligence - the only hurtful thing I've ever heard her utter. </p><p>The following Christmas, my father gave me this. A book to all, but to me it was also an acceptance of who I am. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religion</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/atheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atheism</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ChristopherHitchens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChristopherHitchens</span></a></p>
