Hitchens, like many another, curses the Judeao-Christian God because He does not conform precisely to Hitchens' expectations. In Hitchens' view, this is not to be borne.

Indeed. To put it mildly.

From what I hear, Hitchens is a rather "loose-living" individual. He doesn't much like any kind of "moral code" or rule unless he made it up himself, for himself, by himself.

In effect, he has chosen to remove himself from the norms and customs of the society to which he naturally belongs by birth.

In short, he has chosen to live in the Solipsism Zone. Good luck to him.

What can one say about such an individual, except that, somewhere along the line, he got seriously "disordered?" So much so, that he no longer really cares about anything outside of himself and his self-interest — however he chooses mysteriously, arbitrarily to define THAT?

Dear brother in Christ, you are always a breath of fresh air.... Thank you ever so much for writing.

yeah, I’ve noticed that outrageous arrogance seems to run in the fools-that-deny-God family.
