I rarely hear anyone talk about Hitchens, The God Delusion takes the crown for being the most unhinged and ignorant. At least Hitchens has good rhetoric.

I just can't take Dawkins seriously after seeing the way he tried to appeal/praise "cultural Christianity" after Islam started becoming more visible in the West. It's like he realized all of a sudden the tradition he was attacking is much nicer to criticism than others in the world.

He's always been a 'cultural christian' though. The characterisation of his whole spiel has always been of an irate moralising protestant minus the belief in God.

Hitchens was basically just cringey Ben Shapiro-tier "OWNED" shit but instead of pink-haired college kids he was sperging out against fumbling old clerics.

This. He's basically a giga-Anglican who hates Catholics.

Both books were a vital part of the movement to crush Christianity from the Western world.

They succeeded. Christianity is now reduced to a meme religion.

This is definitely not bait. I can tell because Christianity really is insignificant and powerless in the modern age.

God delusion is worse - mostly because Darwin jr. lacks the wit of the Hitchens family.

Man I remember when as an atheist I watched a debate between Hitchens and William Lane Craig and I was not only disappointed but something crumbled upon me. He was so fucking destroyed by Craig it's unreal. An actual philosopher vs that retard. Why did he go against him?

Same, then I grew up, started reading books, learned a lot about religion, got autistically into Augustine, scholasticism, apologetics...
I do not know how people not grow up from atheism.

Hitchens parlayed that Oxford Union debating club shit for all it was worth, for some reason US media lapped it up, because they fell for the 'plummy voiced British man sounds confident and must be smart' meme. In a parallel universe he's swapped careers with Boris Johnson but everything else is identical

Yeah Sheldrake is great. He has a roundtable debate with all the big analytic philosophy and science names that's like 4 hours long on youtube. Pretty interesting since they are clearly exasperated by him being a quack but he sticks to his guns. He has stood up to a lot of abuse over the years and stayed strong and honest.

>> No.18879129

it's worth reading definitely. Sheldrake is one of very few /x/ guys actually delivering something intellectually interesting. Check Dean Radin too.
