Best post of the thread! Seriously, you nailed it.
And the visceral reactions to the plain, clear Scripture about the fact that there is only one road to Heaven is expected also.
No one is cheering the fact that Christopher Hitchens has died, and no one is happy that he very well may have not changed his choice to spend eternity apart from his Savior, in the place God created for Satan. No one is happy about that, and hopefully in the days to come we will hear someone who was with him at the end come forward and tell us that Hitchens did indeed accept Christ before he died.
But the idea that because Hitchens was "honest", or "good" or anything but a sinner who had thrown himself at the feet of Christ and accepted His free gift of salvation was somehow acceptable to God because of characteristics that man considers admirable but which God calls "filthy rags" cannot go without being corrected.
Even if the world hates the message, Jesus Christ wants that message told. Because some will hear and believe and choose life over death.
