In the hours after Jerry Falwell died in 07, Christopher Hitchens was on CNN spewing bile against him. I’ll never forget a comment on Newsbusters about this: “I wish the anti-christs hated me this much.” When they were showing Mother Teresa’s casket leaving after her funeral, Hitchens was on MSNBC spewing bile against her. It’s good to be denounced by pagans. It fulfills a Scripture: “all who live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” -1 Tim 3:12
Amen. And in our evil times we ought not be surprised when it happens.
