To: Poison Pill

Christopher Hitchens was asked what he would say if he found himself standing before God after his death. He replied that he would say, “You didn’t give me enough evidence, Lord.”

Hitchens went to his grave like many others, lacking faith. I suppose if he had been Muslim—or a member of Phil Robertson’s congregation—the faithful might have murdered him in service to Allah/God.

Religion Poisons Everything.

False equivalency poisons discussions. Saying Phil Robertson’s congregation has killed people is an outright lie and vicious slander.

By the way, non-religion has done a pretty good job of killing people in the last 100 years (see: USSR, Nazi Germany, Red China, Cambodia, etc.).

And the honest answer would be that no amount of evidence would have changed his mind.
