I remember right before he died Hitchens being asked had he thought about becoming a Christian. About a death-bed conversion. He would say he had no interest at all in the subject, but ended the conversation by saying he appreciated all the prayers from his Christian friends. I always liked him.

He was very reasonable.

He wasn’t pushy....................

Even when I disagreed with him about the conclusion I knew he had done his homework. I still pull up a YouTube video of his once in a while. His takedown of the Clinton’s is better than everyone not named Schweizer.

Hitchens would probably be pleased to know that nearly a decade after his death, people have not stopped talking about him.

Doubtful.

If Hitchens is taking a dirt nap, he isn't sentient...period.

If he is in hell, he has other matters to worry about.

If he did convert at the last minute, he must feel horribly ashamed of his great anger toward believers and his behavior here on Earth.

That said, if he is in some parallel universe we are thus far unaware of, he might be pleased...but I doubt it.

I think it was WC Fields who, when asked by a friend why he was reading the bible said, “Looking for loop holes”.

When you're making the last lap of life things get real.

The possibility of an eternal life had to be on his mind.

I hope he became a believer in Christ.

I didn’t always agree with Hitchens, but I always thought he was honest and open.

When the DC Chapter had that major pro-impeachment rally in the 1990s, I attended. I was covering it for Newsmax, and I practically bumped into Matt Drudge as we were both trying to interview Alan Keyes coming off the podium.

Afterwards, there was a lunch, and I happened to wind up at the same table as Hitchens. He was a delightful and fun conversationalist, and we agreed about Clinton, even if we disagreed about many other things.

In a strange way, I think it's a stroke of Providence that Hitch wrote that lamentable book savaging Mother Teresa.

She would jump on the chance to love her enemy --- to love him and love him, and keep on loving him, ready to run right into hell and back for him, begging Jesus on his behalf, her canny mind seizing any possibility that he could be jerked off of his hell-path at the last moment---

I almost laugh out loud thinking of it.

I imagine him getting hit --- whomp! --- and rolling backward from the cliff, sitting up in un-sought-for safety and saying to Jesus: "I feel like I got hit by a four-foot-eleven Arnold Schwarzenegger. Who WAS that??"

And Jesus saying "I could'a done it on my own, you see, but this was a special request from Mother T."

Hitch knew this would happen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4cPe_YS8i8
