I wonder if Hitchens will be calling him a science-denier or any of the other usual anti-christian epithets as he receives treatment.

[Rennes Templar]

What is the biggest problem for an atheist?
No one to talk to during an orgasm.

[PanzerKardinal]

I pray the God grant Christopher Hitchens comfort and faith during these difficult times.

[balch3]

they’re actually good friends and have appeared together in debates.

[Daisyjane69]

I wish him the best.

Maybe this is God’s way of getting his attention before it’s too late.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Hey, this might be God’s little humorous prod at Hitchens. Specially if the doctor cures him.

[Mikey_1962]

The last person you might expect Christopher Hitchens, one of the world’s best known atheists, to turn to for help would be an evangelical Christian.

The salient word left out of this statement is Physician.

I doubt he chose the man for his religious views, but rather his training skill and success as a physician.

I find no hypocrisy here.

[Darkwolf377]

The thesis is completely deceptive—he’s consulting him as a doctor, not as a believer.

If Hitchens didn’t deal with this guy, he’d be called a bigot. He’s following his medical advice, and now people are trying to suggest he’s a hypocrite.

[Old Landmarks]

While I think Hitchens has taken opportunity in the past to speak horribly about some very good men who had just died, I hope Hitchens does not die from his horrible illness.

I hope he puts away the presuppositions which blind him to the truth of a loving God and fallen man in a sinful world.

I told Chris one day in Washington DC as I was shaking his hand. He had just finished a speech about Bill Clinton’s worthless ways. I said, “God chooses the least likely among us to do his work.” I hope he still remembers that.

[anniegetyourgun]

In the only realm that really matters, Hitchens is already dead. Continued prayers that he will awaken to real life before it is too late.

W.C Fields was an atheist... but not forever. Upon his death bed, a close frind walked in and caught WC reading the Bible... “Why” asked his friend... “Looking for loopholes”, was the answer.

‘Athiests’ like to spout off and be ‘cool’ but when it comes down to the nitty gritty..

[newzjunkey]

The article doesn't explain why he chose to go an experimental route nor does it say if he's paying for it instead of the British NHS.

I can't recall noticing him since the Clinton years but wish him health.

[G Larry]

Too often, atheists refer to lack of heaven on earth as “proof” for their position.
Others don’t believe “temptation” is “fair”.

Francis Sellers Collins (born April 14, 1950), is an American physician-geneticist, noted for his landmark discoveries of disease genes and his leadership of the Human Genome Project (HGP) and described by the Endocrine Society as "one of the most accomplished scientists of our time".[1][2] He currently serves as Director of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.

Hitchens never went back to good old England with it's gummint medicine to find a a new cure for his cancer.

[Mike Darancette]

Maybe Hitch has found his foxhole.

[RoadTest]

People who never give God a thought comes to prayer warriors when they run into trouble.

But God isn’t a respecter of persons. If the one who never thought of God comes to Him in repentance and sincerity of heart, God will hear his prayer, too.
