Lighten up, Francis!
Of course I don’t know what he did at the end of his earthly life, Captain Obvious.
My post simply clarified your post that the good he did should get him into Heaven.
Clearly you lack the intellect to comprehend God’s Word that ONLY believing Christ as your Lord and Savior will allow you to enter Heaven.
Good deeds but rejecting Christ will ensure one’s eternity in hell.
That’s God’s rule - not mine.
I won’t lighten up. I only met Christopher Hitchens once and he made an excellent impression on me. Having read him since the 1970s, I feel I have come to know him. His final VF article saddened me. He was a fine writer and a fellow American. I noticed in the Guardian obit photo, he is wearing his Remembrance Day poppy - so he was patriotic, too.
What a sad and cynical outlook you have on life and death.
Rip, Christopher.
Intellect tells you that??...so if you live in Indonesia and you are brought up listening to some moronic Imam...then Intellect will tell you what? Or you are brought up in India and your intellect will tell you to be saved by some ‘’heavenly’ guy with 8 arms.
So if you are a Jew, Muslim, Rastafarian,(Hitchens Maternal Grandmother was a Jew, ergo he was a Jew) you should believe ONLY believing Christ as your Lord and Savior will allow you to enter Heaven??
what arrogance and profound lack of intellect....Faith means belief without hard proof. Believe if you will, but it is not an intellectual exercise
