Prayes for Hitchens

[Nonstatist]

Live hard, die kinda young.

[Doc Savage]

May God have mercy on his soul..........., oh, wait,......he doesn’t believe in God. OOOOooooops, sorry Chris. I forgot.

[fieldmarshaldj]

He doesn’t want prayers, but I’ll send ‘em anyway.

[oust the louse]

My bet is he will find God on his own terms....he will have ample opportunity to reflect while his last hours are upon him. The good Lord will be at his side wether he likes it or not.

[pissant]

He’ll be finding Jesus real soon

[ScottinVA]

The Lord is waiting, Mr. Hitchens. Do the right thing and accept His grace. After you breath your last here on earth, you’ll be glad you did.

[ScottinVA]

breath=breathe

[Hoosier-Daddy]

The rubber is about to meet the road.

[boomop1]

whether this could be series.

[Apercu]

Proof that Jesus Christ loves every man. He has been given the gift of self examination and the opportunity to accept God that many do not receive.Prayers for Christopher Hitchens.

[sauropod]

I agree with you.

[Reddy]

Interesting that he refers to followers of Christ as “peasants”.

[The Great RJ]

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Blaise Pascal

[Wally_Kalbacken]

I couldn’t watch the whole thing - but tell me - does he light up a cigarette during the interview?

[Ken H]

Proof that Jesus Christ loves every man.

If the Bible is literally true, then aren't the vast majority of human beings who ever lived destined for eternal torment? Does that meet your definition of love?

[beaversmom]

I’m making my way through the videos. I haven’t seen a fag yet.

People’s hearts are either like clay or wax. Both have different responses to heat. One becomes hardened and the other melts. We put ourselves in the place of Mr Hitchens and we think we would naturally be humbled and repentant. But this man clearly has a heart of clay and the closer he comes to death, the more resolute and hardened he is in his unbelief. Perhaps something will soften this man’s heart before he’s gone.

[HerrBlucher]

Except faith or belief on those terms is not sincere, it is simply self promotion. Nice try Blaise, but it won’t work.
