We judge things. That’s what we do. That’s what you’re doing, what prompted you to leave a comment. You “evaluated,” and felt the need to leave your opinion ...
What amazes me; is the quality of judgments that come from Christians who by turn; would be the first to say - quote - 'Judge Not'. . .
There is a difference between an opinion; a criticism; and what appears; as 'final judgment'; offered by those who simply cannot be the 'final arbiter' of another man's life. A little humility would help, and have to say 'little' humility observable.
Think Ransom's conclusions about Hitchens' life; is at least, unfortunate. Perhaps; had he just 'couched' an adjective or two. . .or had 'any' appreciation. (He could thank Hitchens for inspiring him to clarify the importance of Faith; by which Ransom, may touch someone elses life; who is not yet clear. . .)
