Religion makes intelligent people say and do wacky things, believe and affirm crazy things.
Christopher Hitchens
What if I pulled through and the pious faction contentedly claimed that their prayers had been answered? That would somehow be irritating.

Christopher Hitchens
One of the reasons I decided to apply for American citizenship after something like a quarter of century of living here on a British, European Union passport and a green card, was my identification with the United States in the post-September 11th period.
Christopher Hitchens
I don't think souls or bodies can be changed by incantation. Or anything else by the way.
Christopher Hitchens
The gods that we've made are exactly the gods you'd expect to be made by a species that's about half a chromosome away from being chimpanzee.
Christopher Hitchens
As is so often the case with pieces that appear in the 'Onion,' I honestly could not decide whether this was a clever hoax or not - the arguments were almost exactly as stupid as the real thing.
Christopher Hitchens
I burned the candle at both ends and it often gave a lovely light.
Christopher Hitchens
The violence in the Bible is appalling.
Christopher Hitchens
The one unforgivable sin is to be boring.
Christopher Hitchens
