You, guys can pray for him, but, no offense, I'm not. I see him as a very smart, but deep-down, a self-loathing individual who, barring a visit from Jesus Himself, will never change at this point.
That doesn't mean I don't like him or respect him, but there some people beyond our 'help'.
I believe God has written the outline for our life's script. We fill in the dialogue, we get to pick the scenes and wardrobe, and can even make changes to the action, but the plan is pretty much set. Hitchens is, unfortunately, likely doomed to serve as a foil and adversary to the Judeo/Christian community.

>Who will pray for Christopher Hitchens?
When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminalsone on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." [Luke 23:33-34]
-----------------------------------------------
Come on. Let's be real.
Jesus prayed for His
killers.
All Christians can pray
for Hitchens. He's just
a smart guy who doesn't know
all he
thinks he knows.

It won’t hurt to pray for him but the simple fact is that if God wants him, God will have him.

I will pray. He could be who God chooses to make the next Paul of Tarsus.

I will pray for him, we may not be able to convince him. He needs to be open minded to God.

Many of the greatest saints started out as the most committed enemies of religion. Where there’s life, there’s hope.

I believe Hell is an equal opportunity solicitor. That won’t stop me praying for those of his ilk however.
To: pray4liberty
“Arranged,” indeed! Good choice of words, I pray so. And keep in mind, Hitchens’ brother, Peter, is a devout Christian who undoubtedly prays for his brother. Shall we join him?!
To: ellenbrewster
I pray Hitchens sobers up long enough to write a another awesome book like this:

IF he would do what other atheist have done...gone through The Word of God to disprove it, he'd end up just like those atheist. By studying The Word of God...they became strong Christian Believers. Since, Jesus is The Word of God, that's a visit from Him.
Until, Our Lord leads me to pray for this man, I'll not pray for him. He has led me to pray for folks, I in NO way wanted to. However, I did and continued until I was released by Our Lord.

Who will pray for Christopher Hitchens? I will.
After all, plenty of people have prayed for me. What's more, Jesus himself suffered and gave his life for me.
To: ellenbrewster
People like Hitchens are tough cases. Fundamentally (excuse the term) dishonest when it comes to religion, but because they're so intellectually gifted, they like to believe they're applying the same intellectual precision to religion that they apply to other arenas of thought -- but they aren't. Their biases won't allow them to. For someone like Hitchens it would be a horror beyond belief to suspect for even a fraction of a second that God exists. After all, he might require something of him.
That said, I imagine a lot of people pray for Hitchens, and have for years. With God all things are possible.

But what a weapon in God’s arsenal Hitchens would be once his brain (and mouth) was used for truth. So, pray on, friends.

It’s kind of like, “the bigger they are, the harder they fall”.
So often those who fight the hardest, become the most ardent advocates. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
