Because he is dying, Christopher Hitchens doesn’t make many public appearances these days, but he did manage to attend the 2011 Texas Freethought Convention to receive the Freethinker of the Year Award.
His tenacity to hang on a little longer is overshadowed only by his determination to continue to reject God: by the benighted insights of his overweening ego, to reject God is to embrace freedom.
The closer Hitchens comes to death the more determined he seems to be to revile God’s greatest revelation of himself in Jesus Christ – an act both profoundly foolish and, from my perspective, terrifying.
I’ll miss him; God have mercy on him in spite of his monumental arrogance.
“to reject God is to embrace freedom.”
Hitchens, and more than one billion other people on this planet, don’t believe in gods to embrace freedom. They don’t believe in gods because the idea that there’s some master of the universe with unlimited magical powers hiding somewhere is a ridiculous childish cowardly fantasy.
The churches in Europe are empty. In less than a century the United States will have made the same progress.
By the way, your “I’ll miss him; God have mercy on him in spite of his monumental arrogance.” is an insult. You insult dying people. Typical morally corrupt Christian.
Also, your insult is both childish and disgusting. According to your idiotic fantasies, your magical master of the universe is going to torture people who have enough common sense to not believe in it. Your insult is a threat. It’s impossible to be more insane than a Christian.

Oh please. We’ve heard your type of drabble babble more than enough. Human Ape, show me one person who, through their conversion to atheism, stopped drinking alcohol, or committed their life to humanitarian causes, or gave without expecting anything in return, or gave away everything that they had, or …
Having difficulty yet?
Hitchens is right about one thing. If Jesus wasn’t the son of God, he was a vain and wicked man whose words were meant to deceive.
I believe that He is the Son of God.
It’s probably time for the religious to get a little educated.
We are an evolved primate and think WAY too much of ourselves most of the time.
The universe was made for us? ……How insane!
Thanks for that example of what grammar might look like after being subjected to the rigours of an atheist education.
