A journalist of some note. Wrote excellent prose, had spotty ideas on politics, firm and sensible views on faith.

Not too familiar with it, but I like him and feel very sad for his suffering. At least he got to see in the end that the Divine is indeed real, and I think God would have been happy to see someone dissolving dogma spread in His name. Nothing makes me more delighted than the concept of people like Hitchens gaining a glimpse of the Divine and learning that they were serving it all along, though they didn't know it. God bless Hitchens. The internet fanboys that make up new-athiesm may be insufferable, but the actual figureheads like Hitchens are not so bad at all, and have done well to help deflate religious dogmas otherwise unimpeded.

Mixed feelings on the Hitchster.

BASED: “Hmm, how can I figure out where I stand on waterboarding? Oh I know, I’ll go get fucking waterboarded.”

But on the other hand, the New Atheists were more entertainers than intellectuals. I’m not a religious man, but they were really pseud desu
