Listen "Human Emancipation"
Episode Synopsis
Hitchens describes how religion denies us our moral autonomy.
How holy books, written by man, not only leave out major moral societal teachings, but also recommend them.
How insulting it is for a believer to claim a moral edge on nonbelievers when so much violence comes to us via religious culture.
He continues explaining, how unfalsifiable theories are weak theories. How religious claims in the face of increasingly overwhelming scientific evidence can only present themselves as infantile dismissable assertions.
How absolving ourselves of responsibility, like the religious do, is intellectually futile and potentially sinister and that we should emancipate ourselves from such immoral behaviour.
