Christopher Hitchens


No forgiveness for Falwell

“… I think it’s a pity there isn’t a hell for [Jerry Falwell] to go to…The empty life of this ugly little charlatan proves only one thing, that you can get away with the most extraordinary offenses to morality and to truth in this country if you will just get yourself called reverend…People like that should be out in the street, shouting and hollering with a cardboard sign and selling pencils from a cup….He was a conscious charlatan and bully and fraud. And I think, if he read the Bible at all - and I would doubt that he could actually read any long book of — at all — that he did so only in the most hucksterish, as we say, Bible-pounding way.”

Religion “poisons everything”

“[Religion is] violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism, tribalism, and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children.”
