Lord, he was as imperfect as all of us. Show him Your mercy and invite him into the Kingdom he so long denied to himself. R.I.P., Hitchens.

Well said FRiend, and Amen to that.

And I will also say that some of the vicious and judgmental comments I'm reading in the wake of the death of Christopher Hitchens makes me wonder if the Westboro 'Baptist' Church somehow made some secret inroads into FR when nobody was looking.

They know who they are. And I say shame on them.

It's a good question. I think of the scathing rebukes our Lord saved for the smug and self righteous ones of His time - the ones who thought they had it ALL figured out.

I also think of the parable of the sheep and the goats - many surprise on that day, as our Lord tells us.
