Hitchens is just another wordy "intellectual" who can't see the difference between Christ and the Devil but endlessly lectures the rest of us on the failings of our faith while equating the various cults of the World, the Flesh, and the Devil to Christianity.
As usual, he comes up with endless rationalities for his own unbelief while shifting the blame of his own empty soul onto the banality of everyone else.
It is tough and unrewarding to be an atheist looking for meaning elsewhere when the truth is right before your very eyes every place you look.
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 18-20)
All one needs to do is look around from the massive heavens to the nearly invisible DNA to see the undeniable evidence of God, revealed in the glory, wonder, and complexity of His Creation - a complexity humanity can barely fathom much less fully understand or create.

I always get a kick out of theists attempting to tell atheists what’s wrong with how they think...kinda like a rhino telling a shark how to swim...
