And I am sure he still believes that.
He was hiring a physician not a Pope.
I have no idea what religion my Cardiologist is, and it wouldn't matter anyway.
Results not religious beliefs is what we are all hiring when we hire a professional.
I see no hypocrisy.
Hitchens does.....that's the irony.
It is as plain as day. Hitchens has not been shy about insisting that Christians are anti-science, stupid, anti-reality, etc. Being a good doctor involves application of scientific principles, coping carefully with reality accurately, and applying all of your intellect to the very best of your ability. By trusting in the intellect, skill and scientific knowledge of a professing Christian, Hitchens is guilty of rank hypocrisy. I pray it leads him to confront the contradictions in his life.
Agreed. But if you truly believed your Cardiologist was a fool, and then picked him to save your life. It would make you a liar or a hypocrite.
