Greetings from Virginia

[supersoldier]

Hello,

I have been interested in this topic and these types of discussions since I discovered the writings and internet videos of Christopher Hitchens. Reading and listening to Hitchens really opened my eyes.

Since then I have read, watched and listened to everything I could get my hands on.

I want to thank the Creator of this site, as well as all those who have been here a while and had such great discussions. It will take me a while to really go through and read everything, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Thanks for having me!

Hello and welcome to HAF, supersoldier.  I admire Hitchens' thinking on most topics, but his stubborn defense of the invasion of Iraq seems wrongheaded to me. I do enjoy listening to him speak though.  I hope he beats the odds.

I spent most of last summer in Virginia.  It seemed like a nice place, and I liked it, but the heat was a bit tiresome.

I hope you enjoy your time reading and posting here.

Hallo Super.
I don't know the work of Christopher Hitchens.  I'm more of a Dawkins fan myself.

Hi SS

Not a huge fan of CH, but a lot of people do like him. My favourite atheist philosopher is AC Greyling. But the 'Hitch' is fun in small doses

Welcome to HAF

Regards
Chris

Hello and welcome to HAF, supersoldier.

As for my favourite atheist philosopher, it's got to be Sam Harris.

No, I'm out now. I miss it.

I agree; Sam Harris is one of those thoughtful and carefully articulate people who make it easy to separate obfuscating creationist arguments from science and rational thought.

I agree with you about Hitchens' support of the Iraq invasion, and I was disappointed to see him do what appeared to be some mental gymnastics in his favor about it. Nonetheless, I appreciate his wit and reasoned arguments against self-serving religious wish-thinking.

Shouldn't you be in Kentucky?

     Greetings Screaming Eagle,
I also was active at Ft. Campbell in the late 80's. Did some time in Kawait. I did enjoy my military experience but I'm happy to be free of it.
