“I wouldn’t go as far as to say that Jesus would have loved Hitchens. Hitchens called Mother Theresa a “b-tch”...”
I have no cause to believe that Jesus did not love everyone. Can there be a greater love than being willing to die for the salvation of all humanity? Objectively speaking, of course, salvation is conditioned on one’s faith in Christ and His work of atonement. The opinions of mortals as to the character and works of C. Hitchens are, finally, irrelevant.
I just got through watching Hitchens on c-spand in one of his hateful debates about religion. He would laugh in your face to even think he might be in heaven or loved by Jesus. He thought the worse thing Jesus ever claimed in that he died for your sins. He said he found that immoral and disgusting. I doubt seriousely anyone who thinks Hitch in in heaven, despite a death bead confersion is delusional. He even went so far to say if he did have a death bed conversion it was because the cancer caused him to be out of his mind and he rejects anyone thinking he did so. He does not want Gods mercy and stated that many times. He would reject it.
