Nope.

Even if you prayed 24hrs a day/7days a week there is no way to individually pray for every person in the world. When I pray, I pray for those that are suffering who actually love God and don’t spit in His face.

If praying for a sick child, sick mother, or sick friend who loves God (instead of this ass) makes me a “bad Christian” then so be it.

Atheism and Theism (Christianity) are equally unprovable...or that’s how it seems to this agnostic.

I just prayed for God to open CH’s heart before it’s too late.

I’ll admit it was hard - I’ve heard him speak sarcastically against religion and debate Christianity many times.

I do pray for him.

Time grows short...but then, none of us know the day or the hour, we really are all in the same boat.

His fate is in his own hands. He is capable of prayer, and if he feels authentic contrition, he can face his forgiving Maker with confidence. He is really not unique; there are millions like him.

I am reminded of the story of a priest ministering to a notoriously sinful and dying man.
“Are sorry for your sins?” asked the priest.
“No, actually I enjoyed them.”
“Can you at least tell me that you are sorry that you are not sorry?”

I just asked Mother Teresa to intercede for him.

If anyone can do it. . . .

I will... I heard that most if not all of his kids are religious. It must hurt them that he isn't at this point. When he was semi-well he said not to believe it if you hear he had a “ death bed conversion”, but that's probably exactly what will happen with his family around him when the time comes.

“Hitchens’ latest book, “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,”

Well, he got his title half right. ;)

People like this have usually been hurt by the Church or Christians. There are so many people out there like that.

His name has been in my nightly prayers ever since the news came out that he was sick.

I get ticked off at those who show disrespect to my faith. Nevertheless, we pray for them lovingly to “see” the Truth with their hearts and minds.

Hmm... I just re-read where he says any religious training is child abuse. He has children that are religious... Is he saying his grandchildren are/ will be abused? Nice Grandfather!

I am a lay Dominican. One reason is that Dominic pled with tears for sinners. Moses pled for sinners. Jesus lived and died and lives for sinners. I already intercede for atheists, though no where near as much as I should.

That’s a tough one.

This is why I try not to get too upset when people malign God. He can handle them just fine and in His own time without my help.

Just ask Madeline Murray O’Hare.

I will. Look beyond his fault and see his need of the Saviour.
