À propos de cet audio
Bloomsbury presents The Rage Against God written and read by Peter Hitchens.
Peter Hitchens lost faith as a teenager. But eventually finding atheism barren, he came by a logical process to his current affiliation to an unmodernised belief in Christianity.
Hitchens describes his return from the far political left. Familiar with British left-wing politics, it was travelling in the Communist bloc that first undermined and replaced his leftism, a process virtually completed when he became a newspaper's resident Moscow correspondent in 1990, just before the collapse of the Communist Party.
He became convinced of certain propositions. That modern western social democratic politics is a form of false religion in which people try to substitute a social conscience for an individual one. That utopianism is actively dangerous. That liberty and law are attainable human objectives which are also the good by-products of Christian faith.
Faith is the best antidote to utopianism, dismissing the dangerous idea of earthly perfection, discouraging people from acting as if they were God, encouraging people to act in the belief that there is a God and an ordered, purposeful universe, governed by an unalterable law.

Snooty and Uninteresting
Going into this, I hoped to gain an ex-athiest's perspective on spirituality, a nuanced story about how one's beliefs affect their everyday life and a humble explanation for returning to a once cast-away faith.
Peter Hitchens does not have any intention of giving you that. when the time comes to explain what was going on in his head when he decides to return God, he says "that's a matter between myself and God only" and skips over it. Instead he spends the runtime making wild jabs at atheists, since he believes that all atheists are like alike to himself when he was one: a snotty edgelord. Peter Hitchens talks down to atheists, believing that he has left his cringe self behind by converting back to Christianity, but fails to realise that he has carried the cringe along with him and remains an unbearable sot to this day. If you want to listen to a man drearily recount the horrors of the Nazis and the Soviet Union, and then at the end very unconvincingly pin all those sins on a lack of God, this is the book for you. If you want a coherent argument that doesn't revolve around the assumption that Christianity is the default state of being and that anything progressive is inherently wrong for stepping away from that default, look elsewhere.
