opebo vs. Christopher Hitchens

[opebo]

I vote for opebo easily who is actually funny in his extreme atheism while Hitchens was just an annoying prick and is actually an intelligent person with tons of hilarious insight while Hitchens was a neocon warmongering idiot. opebo's hilarious posts on this message board are a far bigger contribution than any of the garbage Hitchens wrote.

Funny? Hilarious?!

That's a very perverted sense of humor you've got there.

No buddy, BRTDs view is the general consensus.

But BTRD, I'm not an 'extreme' atheist, just an atheist.  The whole feeding religious to the lions is more a political preference.

...BRTDs view is the general consensus.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Make a poll, Dibble,

Hitchens/Hitchens, of course.

I didn't know you were a right-winger.

[opebo]

opebo, do you have an opinion of the earlier Trotskyist Hitchens?

No.  I'm not really interested in this guy - I can't say I find journalists fascinating.

The one who hasn't posted a what's for dinner update in ages.

I just posted on there less than a week ago!  You're the one who's been absent, buddy.

Who did you mean anyway?

And to think the second statement is incorrect you must have missed Opebo's views on Libya and Egypt.

In those cases I was rooting for some Muslims to bomb other Muslims, Gustaf.  I never proposed the outsider bomb them.

I'm not religious in the slightest and have no spiritual beliefs, but I was raised Catholic and thus will be a Catholic forever. To quote Dara O' Briain (comedian) - "I'm staunchly atheist, I simply don’t believe in God. But I'm still Catholic, of course".

Was Hitchens a Catholic?  I was sort of very vaguely raised that way but I really don't think of myself as one of those ex Catholics - I mean, we weren't Irish or ethnic or anything like that, and more than half the family were Protestants.  I never met any single person who knew or cared anything about the religion, and I was only in parochial school for maybe two years to avoid getting picked on by the thugs in public school junior high. 

Its hard to say.  I mean, I do still have some lingering feeling that Protestantism (other than Episcopalianism) is somehow ridiculous, but  I've never identified with the Catholic Church in any way.  I don't think my upbringing was sufficiently Catholic to have 'made me Catholic'.

[opebo]

Not even a try?

Ah, well, maybe I overestimated you. Never mind then.

I think what you overestimated may have been his appetite for reading all those quotes.  Why don't you concisely summarize your points for us - we are busy people and don't have time to read confused ramblings.

opebo is the far greater evil.

Well I suppose I should feel flattered.. but talk about excessive hyperbole (remember that one?).
