I guess theists are going to have to find a new meme for their perceived atheist trinity of deer leeders.

RIP Christopher

I noticed that Hitchens died. How very saddening. Our firebrand is gone.

Everybody is a hostage in his belief hand. Eventually death came and claw in his soul . At present he is not here and has gone where which others has gone before , and all of us will go there whether be agree or disagree , this is a force. Now he is responsible against his intellect before god . He was like a thirsty passenger in a desert, abandoned the straight direction and went toward mirage and never reached to a drinkable sea water
god say about these persons : " as for the unbelievers, their works are like a mirage in the wilderness. the thirsty person thinks it is water, but when he comes near, he finds that it is nothing. he finds god there, who pays him his account fast. god is"
I am sorry for such humans never understood what is truth. That is to say , they themselves didn't wish to understood .....

Ah well. It's surprising he died so young, but I haven't been keeping up with news on him, and wasn't aware he was ill.
Didn't much care for his style of criticism. Too many people imitate it.

I think there's plenty more where that one came from.


RIP Christopher Hitchens.

I have to agree with you there, whoppers. He must have been a desperately unhappy man.

Why would you think that? I've known for awhile that he had cancer, and I hope that his passing was as peaceful and painless as possible...He will be missed by many.
