Amen.
Dear Lord. Chris....I may not have agreed with you on so many things.....but I loved your candor and wit. Rest in peace. You will be missed.
Mother Theresa is up there begging for his forgiveness.
Hitchens was a good writer and his best was on Michelle Obama’s thesis. He called it “unreadable” or something like that. Check it out.
RIP, Christopher.
very sad.
Hitchens figured the world was about his opinions. He has probably already discovered the God of the Universe has other opinions.
Christopher Hitchens was not impressed with Michelle Obama’s Princeton thesis: He wrote
“To describe [the thesis] as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be ‘read’ at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn’t written in any known language.”
.... and now he can try splainin’ some thing to God.
RIP
He was a very interesting writer, even when he was totally wrong.
Christopher, have a nice single malt on me...loved reading your stuff over the years. You were a good wordsmith...
Well, he knows better than the rest of us noe.
RIP
Well, he knows better than the rest of us now.
RIP
R.I.P. Always interesting.
May he RIP.
Christ, forgive all that espouse atheism because they can’t understand the wonderful meaning of your sacrifice.
Did he repent?
I pray God’s mercy was on him at the time of his death.
Judging by the comments on this thread, not many of the posters have ever really read Hitchens.
I recall years ago a Freeper (Miss Marples, perhaps) would post some of Hitchens writings criticizing Clinton and the left. I didn't like Hitchens at the time and made some nasty comments about him on FR.
Then, I found some time to read him and became a fan. He was brilliant and probably right about most things. He certainly had the courage of his convictions -- that's a rare quality.
Hitch died much too young. He had so much more to say.
