Hell's Angel: Mother Teresa by Christopher Hitchens


Mother Teresa. Symbolic figure of humility and goodness. The holy saviour of the poors. This Nobel Peace Prize winner lady can be a grim zealot? Author of God is Not Great and The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and PracticeChristopher Hitchens shows the real face of a demogogue fraud behind her innocent mask.

Penn & Teller: Bullshit! - Holier than Thou

Cruel Mother Teresa, racist Mahatma Gandhi, the Dalai Lama the king of feudal Tibet where criminals were punished with torture including eye gouging?

Do these attributes sound like oxymoron to you?

If you think so, then everything you know about those holy (!) people is false!

Let's listen some authors such as Christopher Hitchens, AroupChatterjee and Michael Parenti.

COLLISION: Christopher Hitchens vs. Douglas Wilson

"I think faith is, if it's a virtue at all, and I'm not sure that it is. It's certainly the most overrated of them. Maybe one of the deadly virtues." Christopher Hitchens

Collision is a perfect example for a documentary looks into the both points of view. Christopher Hitchens is clever and witty. In the first impression, as a debater he looks like that kind of man makes never mistakes, but he has a weary face in comparison to his opponent (I wonder why. Maybe due to the lack of power of faith?). I'm glad that he is on our side. :)

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything - Christopher Hitchens (Audiobook)

Hitchens, who once described Mother Teresa as "a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud," is notorious for making mincemeat out of sacred cows, but in this book it is the sacred itself that is skewered. Religion, Hitchens writes, is "violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children." Channeling the anti-supernatural spirits of other acolytes of the "new atheism," Hitchens argues that religion is "man-made" and murderous, originating in fear and sustained by brute force. Like Richard Dawkins, he denounces the religious education of young people as child abuse. Like Sam Harris, he fires away at the Koran as well as the Bible. And like Daniel Dennett, he views faith as wish-fulfillment. The Washington Post

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything - Christopher Hitchens

New York Times Best Seller

Hitchens, one of our great political pugilists, delivers the best of the recent rash of atheist manifestos. The same contrarian spirit that makes him delightful reading as a political commentator, even (or especially) when he's completely wrong, makes him an entertaining huckster prosecutor once he has God placed in the dock. And can he turn a phrase!: "monotheistic religion is a plagiarism of a plagiarism of a hearsay of a hearsay, of an illusion of an illusion, extending all the way back to a fabrication of a few nonevents." Hitchens's one-liners bear the marks of considerable sparring practice with believers. Yet few believers will recognize themselves as Hitchens associates all of them for all time with the worst of history's theocratic and inquisitional moments. All the same, this is salutary reading as a means of culling believers' weaker arguments: that faith offers comfort (false comfort is none at all), or has provided a historical hedge against fascism (it mostly hasn't), or that "Eastern" religions are better (nope). The book's real strength is Hitchens's on-the-ground glimpses of religion's worst face in various war zones and isolated despotic regimes. But its weakness is its almost fanatical insistence that religion poisons "everything," which tips over into barely disguised misanthropy.
