Well, I rather agree with you. He's a long-time Trotskyite Marxist, and I don't think he's ever renounced that, and a big admirer of Noam Chomsky, and he despises Christianity. I think he's become muddled in his middle age (perhaps its his liver), but he's always interesting to read or listen to.

"He despises Christianity"

That's for sure! LOL!

I don't know...perhaps it's because I feel very secure in my own walk with God...but I actually find it funny when people rail on against God.

Especially clever people like him.

I know...I know...in the end, it's not really funny at all.

But the things really smart people that don't have a clue say about God sometimes crack me up.

It just shows you how absolutelydeceived otherwise lucid people can be.

That's why I believe, in order to TRULY know Jesus, you have to have a REVELATION.

It transcends cognition and, if one has faith in him, only because it 'makes sense' they may not even know him at all.

Plus, given the choice of letting someone like Hitchens just let 'er rip from their heart and say what they truly think vs the absolute galling BS I hear spouted about Christianity from our 'friends' like Hillary Clinton and Howard Dean...

...I'll take the former any day of the week.

LoveDoc
