Our True Fried and Brother, Thank you Christopher! We will always Love you. We will always hold you in our heart. We will share you with our children.
Christopher you were a strong fighter and will be missed! We have all found great inspiration in them and truly regret the loss of your intellect and eloquence, and regret the peace you have found, which you were not yet ready for.
Rest in peace Christopher. You gave many of us, marginalized people, us athiests, the courage to come out, and to even fight for our right to voice our beliefs (or lack thereof) with the confidence and vigor necessary to challenge the established orthodoxy of nonsense and magic. Thank you for your voice, your courage, knowledge and for sharing it in your epic books. You will not be forgotten.
He was a walking allegory for intelectual fire, a giant in a very tiny world. That man made me, And I will sorely miss his presence. Even though we never met.
Thank you Hitch your book God is not Great saved my life. It was that book and Dawkins book The God Delusion that helped me to give up my fear of hell after leaving the church a decade earlier.

Christopher, I wish You that God would reveal Himself to You before You die and that You believed in Yashua HaMassiah, the only Saviour of humanity from sins and wrath of God. God bless You.
@777STEFANDANKO - If you jackasses really believed in the power of prayer, you wouldn't tell someone that you're praying for them. You would just do it, and wait for the results to happen. When you tell someone you're praying for them, it's just a lot of self-centered posturing coupled with the hope that telling a person you're praying for them may have some kind of psychological effect.
@777STEFANDANKO If God would, Hitch would rightly accuse him of being an absent, neglectful, indifferent, incomplete. incoherent, bias father figure to mankind and the rest of the world. (mildly said) 777Stefan, you believe in an Middle-East based religion, who's practices are based on Horus, pagan systems and regional (tribal) cultural relevance. "Convert as many, before damning EVERYONE else, regardless?" A-morality by moral scripture? Re-read the Holy book with a God of wisdom in mind.
@Jeffersonwazright Fuck! Christopher is dead. Not that I did not believe you, but I had to check for myself. I am still incredulous. But....He is gone.
I, for what I may be able to achieve, have decided to strive to be something of his like in the Orient. Hopefully I will be "Hitchslapping" the eastern religions, haha...still in shock.
How I wish I could read Christopher's comments on the Pope's obituary etc. Now it cannot happen.
This introduction if fantastic, and I love RD for giving it in such a way.

A freethinker regarding religion, yet a "dr. William Lane Craig" reagrding politics...
Well, Obama got a Nobel peace price for doing nothing; I guess then Hitchens at least partially deserved this award.
But if he's the most prominent "freethinker" - the world is in grave danver!

@grozde Being right on everything and being a free-thinker are not mutually dependent. I can assure you that you are wrong on many things.
