I admire Hitchens to the extent that he is an atheist with the courage of his convictions. He rejects dogma on the left as quickly as he rejects Christian dogma that does not comport with his intellect. His refusal go along with whatever is current intellectually fashionable among the elite is as refreshing as it is rare among the self righteous annointed ones. There is nothing sadder than a fine intellect not gifted with the blessing of spiritual discernment.

I agree 100% Joe Buck, well stated! I'm ashamed to say my bible verse recall ability has gotten rusty, but there is a passage that sums it up that those that do not believe will not know the truth of God or even understand the Bible until God reveals it to them. They will be blind to the truth literally and figuratively. Hitchens could word by word dissect the bible, but without the discernment from the Holy Spirit his understanding or lack therof, would be fruitless until God reveals it to him. I pray that those like Hitchens aren't too far removed from God to ever find Him or hear Him. I guess we could only hope he may humble himself at some point and truly know there IS a God.
