One has to wonder if he’ll turn to God in his time of need.
Ouch. From what I’ve read, esophageal cancer can be a very tough one to beat. A lot probably depends on how early they detect it, of course.
Hitch..I am a survivor of esophageal cancer and am not an expert, but highly suggest that you get even more opinions outside the UK. The best path to survival is usually via surgery first rather than weakening your system with chemo. I made that difficult decision and am now 7 years cancer free without chemo. Very tough operation, but I am glad that I did that first. Since you no doubt have your own resources, I recommend you see Dr. Demeester at USC Hospital in LA..a renown surgeon and expert at this disease.
I sure hope that he beats it. I don’t care that he doesn’t believe in anything, that shouldn’t matter at this point.
If he’s just getting chemotherapy, it’s already spread. He’ll die of this. Hopefully, he’ll find the God he so hated before the end.
Prayers up for Mr. Hitchens. He has a big battle ahead of him.
This is, to me, very sad news. I find no joy in the suffering of Mr. Hitchens, though he most certainly made himself to be an antagonist of any faith in general, and from my perspective, the Christian Faith in particular.
I hope and pray — against the rebellious nature that is common to ALL men, and the callous insurrection that is peculiar to those who are actively atheistic — that the Holy Spirit of God might be able to find an avenue of appeal to this man’s lost soul and draw him to a saving faith and knowledge in Jesus Christ.
Perhaps Mr. Hitchens rebellion will never give way even for a moment to the gentle persuasion of the Lord’s drawing. BUt the Lord is there, and He is willing. If he fails to heed, he cannot then hold the Church or the Christian religion or the Christian God which atheists claim do not exist accountable for his eternal state.
I, for one, pray for Mr. Hitchens healing, and more so for his salvation in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ....
So is he going back home to face the nice counsel to see if he is worth to live or will he get the treatment here in the USA?
I’ll do the Christian thing and pray for his full recovery.
Prayer bump
Prayers for Mr. Hitchens.
Hitchens has carved out a reputation for barbed repartee, scathing critiques of Conservative public figures and a fierce lack of intelligence.
I think this is the truth of the statement.
I hope he gets better ASAP.
sad news.
prayers for a speedy recovery for C.H.
he’s always thoughtful, entertaining and interesting - even if he’s almost always wrong.
Although I disagree with Hitch about almost everything, he believes in his positions, he isn’t just a parrot for the left. He hits back at liberals when he disagrees with them. He is a fine writer and a formidable debator. I can imagine hanging out with Hitch would be a helluva lot of fun. I wish him well and hope for a full recovery.
After each example of their corruption and dishonesty he cited, he would rhetorically ask the crowd, “Can you eat enough to vomit enough?”
He HATED them since he first laid eyes on them and has never failed to shout it drunkenly from the rooftops.
I wish him well.
Having had chemo, I do not wish that on anyone.
Prayers for Christopher, an excellent writer and an honest man.
