I disagreed with him too, esp his atheism.A true intellect who always had my respect.We can only hope he had a last minute denunciation of the atheism and called out our Lords name with his last breath.

I sometimes wonder how much that really means. Remember the parable about the servents who were given amounts of their masters treasure to invest....I think that Hitchens used his God given talents to the best of his ability. While I cartainly disagree with his conclusions as to the existance of God, he certainly garnered enough controversy to make people think and perhaps strengthen their own belief system. If we are never challenged, we can become complacent and therefore weaker in our beliefs. We should all examine our conciences and determine whether or not we live up to Christ's expectations. I'm quite certain that most of us have a lot of making up to do!!
