Chris was a better than just "good" writer. What he lacked was material to meet his talent ~ which meant he found himself semi-eternally focused on politics, social pathologies and personalities.

If an unbeliever can redeem himself in such manner, he must have done that.

He cannot. Only the saving grace of Jesus Christ could have saved him, BEFORE (physical) DEATH. He may have done so in his last moments on this earth, but I doubt it. Too late now. Praying for his soul now, would be a waste of your time.

Personally, I liked him. When sober, he was intellectually entertaining. His rabid disdain for God will cost him eternal torment. I can only hope that he didn’t influence too many others to accept his views.

If an unbeliever can redeem himself in any manner whatsoever then the sacrifice of Christ was in vain.

If Hitchens redeemed himself, then Jesus is irrelevant.

Those of us who are saved will not have to face the White Throne of Judgment. We will go before the Bema Seat of Christ that will determine our rewards on heaven.

muawiyah, Hitchen's was sadly defiant to the end....

..unless, in his final moments, he repented and asked Jesus Christ to forgive him.

No amount of talent, and he was a very good wordsmith....will get anyone into Heaven.

..there is only one road.

Which is why I am do not presume knowledge of who goes where after death. His fate is in the hands of the Almighty, not mere mortals.

May he rest in peace.
