I found him to be a bigoted, arrogant, ignorant, atheistic pompous ass.

I do not judge his eternal destination.

I pray that somehow, before he completed his last breath, he was graced with repentance and conversion to faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sure you do. Your post makes that pretty clear.

Thank you for your reasoned response, drowning out one that is so unnecessary.

all true....but I liked him anyway...

...the wife and I had the discussion about what he thinks NOW. I, having been a lapsed Catholic for the past 40+ years admitted, he might not know anything(thus proving his own point)....the Wife who KNOWS there is something MORE, thought he would be surprised when he reached his ‘rewards’.

I intoned that if this was the only way any of us will know the truth and that I am in no hurry to find out one way or another

The truth is, Hitchens is where he belongs. And I can’t say where that is, but my first statement is absolutely the truth.
