thiz man was a fabulous writer andhe will be sadly missed.
His passing is a great loss to the world. Who can replace such a tireless warrior for truth and peace?
He was a great man and will be missed.
It is fitting that Hitchens circles the skies as an asteroid. May he be there forever.
To a great man in a small minority of those who are able to see things for what they are and not for how they are told.
Despite how others may view us, we are all children of God and in need of His love and forgiveness. May those grieving take comfort in God’s promise to do away with sickness and death (Revelation 21:3,4). Very soon, all of our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death will be resurrected with a perfect human body. What a joyful time that will be!
What a strident character. A statue should be erected of this man on the Whitehouse lawn. If there is to be any hope of humanity as one of many species to perpetuate it’s existence; the cause at the heart of the most significant problems-religion MUST be put on shelf as a unfortunate relic of history. Chris once said “what can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof”. I am upset with you Chris because you have left me behind with all these religious nuts. The voice of truth will be soarly missed. What a great man.
Why does life matter?
