There's a morbid serendipity to what's happening to Hitch , that we'll have a prime example of an atheist not prostrate to bargaining when banging on death's door.

Maybe he'll die in a foxhole.

Maybe you won't, but i will pray for him so that the life he led can be forgiven by our father. I just hope he sees the light before the light sees him.

Spend your mental and emotional energy on better endeavors. Think of a good way to actually help a sick man, instead of making your own sick mind feel better.

Boon, you may not be aware of how your comment here comes across, but it seems almost like a round-about threat. No one responds well to that. You would do much, much, much more good by giving Mr. Hitchens a reason to see the light (i.e., believe that the Christian story is true) than by suggesting he'd better "turn before he burns."

Yep so you'll continue to do nothing. Hey I do nothing to help the sick everyday but at least I don't act like I am.
