“The Church” – ELEVATION WORSHIP

Night of worship at Elevation Church. july 15, 2010.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

One of the great rants by Christopher Hitchens was when he participated in a debate in England put on by the Intelligence Squared organization in October 2009. The subject being debated was: The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world. His opponents were a Catholic bishop from Africa (Archbishop John Onaiyekan) and Catholic MP Ann Widdecombe. Supporting him was Stephen Fry. In fact, this rant has been called his best ever on the subject of the Catholic Church. A version of this video has already been posted on You-Tube, but this video focuses on just this rant by Hitchens.

    My heart goes out to? all those ppl who believe the lies of the enemy. They chose to ignore the tug on their hearts to follow our King. I pray that its not too late for those who are lost & that those who chose to go against the Kingdom come to their scenes & realize that Light will always prevail over darkness.

    I thought I would share something with you? Tristen, our 8 year old,? came up to me with great excitement in his eyes, and was so eager to speak to me!! After he had calmed down a bit, he told me he heard a message from God from within his heart!? God had told him that he was coming to take us to heaven soon, and to tell everyone he could?! A message from God, from a child, amazing!

    @contrada41 You refer, surely, to His Grace, you know, the one in the? costume sitting next to the hag.

  27. BLUE620 says:

    @contrada41 Whats absurd? is? your ability to turn a bind eye from reality.

  28. contrada41 says:

    Whats absurd is? the mis-charaturization of the this self righteous man!

  29. lduych says:

    @fullgrowntuna
    Within our post-Enlightenment paradigm (referred to, by you, as ‘modern’) “big boys? and girls” do indeed refrain from comparing things they do not agree with to Nazism, unless, of course, the comparison is warranted, and apt. Prior to 1964, the views of Emperor Constantine’s Holy Roman and Apostolic Catholic Church and Hitler’s Third Reich were one and the same. Those atrocities committed against Jews by the Church and by Hitler differ in degree, only, and not in kind.

  30. fullgrowntuna says:

    @aigg I was under the impression? that in the modern era big boys and girls don’t compare things that they don’t agree with to Nazi’s, but that’s just my personal opinion. Nazis are Nazis, Klansmen are Klansmen, Catholics are Catholics, Jews are Jews, the list goes on.

  31. fullgrowntuna says:

    Where can I find the speech given by the MP and? bishop in attendance?

  32. fukinblowme says:

    @MontChevalier I know exactly what you’re saying because the last time your mother spread her legs & begged me to ravage her I clearly had no control. Then again you can’t blame me,afterall I’m only an Atheist & ravaging women is what we do. That’s probably why so many christian girls like Atheists.The next time I’m in a room with a dozen or so sluts begging me to have wild sex with them I’m going to make sure to break out my prayer book and say a dozen or so? hail mary’s so I don’t commit evils.

  33. MrEstarmes says:

    @Mrjaguarpaw1 He had a very? interesting discussion with a rabbi in which he let him know how disgusting he thought it was that they cut the genitalia from little children. He hates all religions, including Judaism.

  34. Mrjaguarpaw1 says:

    Hitchens get paid by jews for licking? their dirty arses

  35. samslick90 says:

    The Church can’t be that? homophobic; half of its clergy is gay.

  36. marcporter77 says:

    The Brits hung, drew and quartered Catholic priests and they imprisoned and tortured Catholics who sheltered priests. They did the same in Ireland. They raped Irish land of trees used for their? oak ships. They instigated the slavery of Africans. In my English boarding school, boys told of teachers “inspecting” under their penises. When I was a child a man masturbated in front of me on the train, a man touched my knee in a theatre and men offered money if I would pose nude.

    ‘The Reformation was “a devastation of England,? which was at the time when this event took place, the Happiest country,? that the world had ever seen; but Afterwards marched on plundering and inflicting torments on the people, and shedding their innocent blood; hospitals and other religious foundations were confiscated by the Reformers and Jews, who brought to England? the misery of Pauperism ”

    -William Cobbett, Protestant Author-A History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland

  38. qvoprimum says:

    Not valid apologies of the pope Wojtyla…..The Holy CAtholic church is divine in? nature. Wojtyla protected pedophiles and destroyed the church and he in not saint. He was actually a Borgia.

  39. NihilistSlacker says:

    @motorniczy7777 I like how you smile about the (fictional) torture chamber that all non-christians will arrive in for simple disbelief in the barely believable. Something tells me you’d have fit in well as tormenter for the Catholics during the? middle ages or better yet a member of the S.S!

  40. aigg says:

    In practical terms, major religious organizations like? the Catholic church is no better than Nazism.

  41. motorniczy7777 says:

    your words means? nothing in comparison to eternity:)You ‘ll die one day

  42. MontChevalier says:

    @2050julp It is because I read that I believe. I have seen the very tomb of Pope Peter, that is merely more proof of your kind’s denial.?

  43. 2050julp says:

    @MontChevalier Sir. or Ignorant … first, name ONE THING worst than what already christians and other? members of any other curch have done in the name of a “Personal God” Sad thing you need someone to tell you to have self control, Sad thing you need someone to tell you not to kill people, SAD that you think war between stupid minds can be rationalized by an INCAPABLE being iin the sky 2. I´m from Colombia … low income … not rich at all …AT ALL … but I read a lot. YOU NEED TO REEEAD.

  44. ghm011301 says:

    “A clutch of hysterical, sinister virgins!” Ha!?

  45. MontChevalier says:

    @PathToVendetta Enjoy it while you can.?

  46. PathToVendetta says:

    @MontChevalier Everyone should be able to live for the moment, thats what life is. Instead of being a subservient personality-deficient zombie. Screw you, we want to enjoy life. We only have one, after all. Be our guest and waste yours, we will do no such thing. ?

  47. MontChevalier says:

    @fukinblowme That’s nice. But the difference between Christianity and Atheism is that Christianity teachers self-control. So given the right circumstances, atheists will commit horrible evils, evils Christians would never do. We have an ethos, and a moral ground to? stand on, while atheists are just a bunch of spoiled little rich kids who live for the moment.

  48. fukinblowme says:

    @MontChevalier The moral argument has? been well debunked by Atheists.Morality was around before christianity,as a product of philosophy.Morality is Darwinian,morals are inate.There’s also peer pressure to act in accordance with morality & a minor thing called the law.Morals are also handed down from parents to their children.If you need religion to determine your moral compass then you’re a sorry excuse for a human being.Btw, as Christopher Hitchens pointed out here,Christianity is hardly moral.

    @sann1979 That columnist is a graduate? of Qxford University…that ain’t Miami Dade Community College.

    @1GodOnlyOne Hitchens isn’t dead; Jesus has been? dead for 2000 years
