Maybe Christopher Hitchkins Isn’t Great?
It’s not the fact that this guy is making a truckload of assumptions without having read anything Hitchens has even written, and it’s not the tell-tale mentally unstable rocking back-and-forth that I’m most entertained by here. For me, the most intriguing part of this fellow’s case against the case against god, is the amazingly strung together, so-much-to-say-no-room-to-take-a-breath (even his “stop and thinks” are morbidly verbose), spouting of religious platitude and cliché.
This is indoctrination of Sarah Palin proportions. But whereas Palin is a bumpkin, only able to absorb enough to be charming, Ronen Levi Yitzchak has gone whole hog, he’s putting it “all-in.” These are the ramblings of someone who’s spent years, months, days & nights psychopathically memorizing and self-justifying, without a minute of critical thought or skepticism.
In Yitzchak’s case, ignorance is _exuberant_ bliss.

This guy almost made me lose me Cocoa Krispies, and not just because of the nauseating rocking back and forth. I love the way that he freely admits to never reading anything that Hitchens has written, then proceeds to explain why Hitchens is wrong, purely based on the title and description of the book. That is classic. News flash buddy, there are plenty of perfectly happy atheists out there who have children, and lead productive socially responsible lives. Granted, that’s not me but I know they exist.

Aww, I think he’s adorable! Like Hasidic Muppet! That rocking is called davenning, it’s the physical manifestion of prayer or some such thing. And really, why would he read something that’s like a knife through the heart of his entire godview? It would be like Hitchens going all talmudic on our asses. Basically, Hasidic Muppet feels sorry for Hitchens because he is not safe in the robe of Yahweh. And I’m sure Hitchens feels sorry for Hasidic Muppet because he’s irony-free and can’t drink single-malt scotch. So…everyone’s happy! And gets to feel superior. (Isn’t that the secret to everything? Hmmm, gives me ideas for how to solve the middle east crisis.)

i think he intentionally muffs hitchens’ name in an attempt to insult him even further.
