I was brought up to say “Rest in Peace” or “May God Rest his Soul.” These are beautiful words to me and it’s my way of saying goodbye to Christopher Hitchens. My complaint is with nasty people who come on a forum like this and wish that he was burning in hell for all eternity. And then they claim to be Christians!
I appreciate that.
You made it plain yesterday that his death hit you hard.
I would say there are probably many Christians here for whom Mr. Hitchens’ words “God is Not Great” are at least as offensive as someone saying “America Is Evil.”
The big questions, which Mr. Hitchens made a life of addressing, are often going to provoke the big arguments, aren’t they?
Thanks for your posts on the matter. Take care.
