[…] But when Socrates was sentenced to death, for his philosophical investigations and for blasphemy, for challenging the gods of the city - and he accepted his death – he did say: “Well, if we’re lucky, perhaps I’ll be able to hold conversation with other great thinkers and philosophers and doubters too.”
In other words, the discussion about what is good, what is beautiful, what is noble, what is pure, and what is true could always go on.
Why is that important? Why would I like to do that? Because that is the only conversation worth having. And whether it goes on or not after I die, I don’t know. But I do know that it’s the conversation I want to have while I’m still alive.
Which means that, to me, the offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can’t give way, is an offer of something not worth having.
I want to live my life taking the risk, all the time, that I don’t know anything like enough yet. That I haven’t understood enough. That I can’t know enough. That I’m always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
And I’d urge you to look at […] those people who tell you, at your age, that you’re dead till you believe as they do – what a terrible thing to be telling to children – and that you can only live by accepting an absolute authority…don’t think of it as a gift. Think of it as a poison chalice, push it aside however tempting it is. Take the risk of thinking for yourself. Much more happiness, truth, beauty and wisdom will come to you that way. Thank you.”
(Christopher Hitchens, closing remarks in a “religion vs. atheism” debate in front of a young audience, Nov. 2010)
Bye, grumpy Hitch. I was grateful to find your voice, along with oh so many others, when I got terminally fed up with religious vultures (and with one-sided “tolerance”) after they christianised my mother’s funeral.
I’m glad to have discovered that I’m by no means alone with my annoyance and alienation. I’m also glad to have been convinced that there is nothing wrong with giving a pesky vulture the boot every now and again, in order to be left in peace. But more importantly, in that process I’ve been made aware of great beauty, courage and dignity in the ways of thinking that people like you have been defending. If I weren’t out of wine, I’d raise a glass.

The family of Morton Sobell, convicted with the Rosenberg’s for passing information on the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union, picket the White House October 8, 1962 asking for his release.
The members of Morton Sobell’s family [from left to right, Helen (wife), Mart (son), Rose (mother) and Sydney (daughter)] spent Yom Kippur, the completion of the Jewish High Holy Days, picketing seeking his freedom.
Julius Rosenberg, Ethel Rosenberg, and Morton Sobell were tried together for passing classified information to the Soviet Union related to an atomic bomb in the 1940s—at that time an ally of the United States.
Part of the prosecution strategy was to emphasize their ties to the Communist Party at a time when hysteria over communists in the U.S. was at an all time high during the Cold War and with U.S. troops battling in Korea against forces aided by both the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China.
The Rosenbergs were convicted, sentenced to death and then executed June 19, 1953 despite an international outcry for clemency. Sobell received a 30-year sentence and served 17 ½ years before he was released in 1969.
