It’s good to watch some prime Hitchens where he isn’t gasping for air or looking half dead.

Ted Olson schools Chris Wallace
It doesn’t get simpler than that, does it folks? Gay marriage isn’t about creating new laws; it’s about upholding the Constitution, and granting the same rights to every citizen in the Republic. Christian Evangelicals and Catholics like to dance around the fact this segment of society is still second class citizens. They try to play on our prejudices, but this tactic will ultimately fail, and splinter their own churches. If there’s an issue that can destroy the power of these churches, it’s definitely gay rights.
Carl Sagan vs creationists
Oh Carl, why did a random mutation in your cells have to lead to your ultimate and early demise? We could certainly use you now to debate the same pathetic arguments that creationists were, and still are using. Where are all the transitional fossils? Where the fuck is the proof of your non-theory?
Richard Dawkins on the incompatibility of religion and science
More Vintage Carl Sagan
Carl Sagan and what appears to be a pirate/astronomer discuss the search for extra-terrestrial life, and why the advances of science obliterates belief.
“It used to be possible to believe in a personal, benevolent, powerful all-knowing god…but now there are very few people who believe that”. Man, I wish that was true, Carl. I think at that time he may have been a little isolated from what life is like for people who don’t spend their time studying the Universe. It’s always easy to be ignorant.
Dawkins doesn’t mince words
I love the last sentence when he says of Kurt Wise (a young-earth creationist with a PHD in geology):
“You cannot argue with a mind like that. A mind like that, it seems to me, is a disgrace to the human species”.
Snap!
Stephen Fry is awesome
I want to someday be invited to his show. It looks like a smashingly good time, doesn’t it?
The Tutor
Ok, so the animation is a little crude, but the girl who plays the tutor is smoking hot, no? That alone is worth the price of admission. Word of advice, if the creators of the video happen to fall on this site for some weird reason: lose the beard. He wasted precious screen time with his face while we could have benefited more from supreme hotness.
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, So Terrible it’s Awesome
Talking bowl of cherries, vampires that seem unaffected by daylight, and some of the worse kung-fu choreography since American Ninja 3 makes this a must see movies, people (is it my imagination, or is Optimus Prime doing the voice-over for AN3?).
This is Painful
PZ Myers and JT Eberhard confront a few Ray Comfort supporters with predictable results. Despite how hard this is to watch (you’ll feel like screaming at the screen, no doubt), it’s still good practice to see just how hard these people struggle to maintain their pathetic talking points.
SMBC Theater: God’s press conference
The payoff is at the end. Priceless.
Auto-tune used for good instead of evil
If you’ve been a regular visitor of the site for a while, you’ll recall I’m quite partial to these kinds of auto-tune symphonies about science. It’s the one time when I can actually stand what is arguably the worst musical invention since the Theremin.
I promised myself I wouldn’t cry
This is both fascinating and terribly sad to see. Enjoy this man while you still can!
Hitchens on Freedom of Speech
Yes, I am a Hitchens fanboy and will post just about anything the man says, but in my defense, you can’t help but acknowledge the man is brilliant. Here’s an old video of him talking about freedom of speech. My favorite part is when he argues it’s the right of people not only to speak their minds, but also for others to hear the opinions of others. Simply awesome.
I like this guy
I love how he describes the religious right as a “5th column of insanity”. Couldn’t have put it better myself.
