I do disagree about closure. Closure does exist and it is important, however closure, does NOT mean forgetting about it, or repressing it or "stop feeling" as he said, closure means to fully and conscientiously interpret the facts and accept them as part of your life. That's what closure is and not an off switch button.
In his case, closure would mean that he accepted that his mother died and that it's impossible to know if he could have saved her or not.
It will be a sad, sad day when this man dies. He is one of THE most honest heroes of our time, a man of true integrity and with a passion for reality that serves us all.
The planet and all that live upon it will lose one of its most ardent supporters, an ally of the human race and a rare teacher of what humanity could and perhaps should have been under different circumstances. He admits his chances of beating this are slim...... but I hope, I just hope.
Thats messed up. Its funny how people feel sorry for Hitchens but if you would be dying Hitchens wouldnt give two shits about you. He would be like "Please, give a lad another cocktail and cigarette while I piss on this man's grave, cause I am an arrogant asshole and I dont believe in God, that is silly. Why would anyone belive that someone has created a complicated universe. Its just happened, easy as pie. I could do it too cause I am that intelligent but I decide not to" ha ha
"Atheism" is repugnant to logic. Logic dictates that the human brain is finite in its capacity & therefor, as logic dictates, incapable of fathoming the infinite. For this reason folks of Hitchens' persuasion rely on the ignorance & immaturity of their congregation, who are invariably unread & inexperienced in implementing the tried and true methodologies of deductive reasoning, to sell their illogical suppositions to the sexually-frustrated librarians who run our tax-funded public libraries.
@CelestialEmbodiment Big fancy words can't hide what your hawking.... We can't conceive the infinite so we should just bow down and believe that it's all true because someone said so and wrote a book about it... Atheism is logic... We are not logically able to accept something as truth until it is proven true before our own eyes. Theists agree with magic... Atheists don't. Please tell me where the logic lies.
Chemo- & radio- "therapies" are NEVER efficacious with regards to malignant (trophoblastic) growth—for in the long history of chronic metabolic diseases none have, nor could they possibly be, cured through mechanical manipulation of the body. The preventative, control & cure for this singular, noncommunicable disease known as cancer is the naturally-occurring-cyanide-rich substance: Amygdalin (a.k.a. vitamin B17, & in its refined state: Laetrile).
The religious folks need to watch this and really learn what true integrity is. It's something impossible from a religious worldview, because they believe God is always watching, therefore, you always have the selfish motivation to behave a certain way. Hitchens however, is standing for what he believes to be TRUE and not standing for what he perceives to net him the greatest reward.
ICONS OF TELEPLAY—Fear not my tattooed countryman regarding lackey Christ' Hitchens' demise as the U.S. is teeming with native- and foreign-born fascists. There are plenty at-the-ready to fill the void when he croaks.
Christopher Hitchens is, and remains, courageous and honorable and humane. I have always viewed Hitch as I do Socrates -- a kind guide in the cave of darkness and superstition and ignorance who is trying to help you and me out of that cave. I see him as possessing noble character, honesty, and an indomitable will. May he beat the odds over this cancer and live for many years to write more books and engage in more debates.
Cyanide-rich Amygdalin is plentiful in spinach. If it were deleterious to cells then the salad bar would be a place of great human suffering & carnage. Horses, goats, cows & sheep survive on grass, shoots, fruit & fruit seeds all of which abound in hydrogen cyanide.
@ThePregnancySlaves No, cyanide rich Amygdalin is not plentiful in Spinache, whereas in Apricot seeds (where it is mostly promoted) it is in a much more purified form and is therefore dangerous. Also, it is certianly not a vitamin
Multiple studies on Amygdalin, or Laetrile have shown that it is at least ineffective, at most deleterious. It has been tested in animals and it has been tested in humans, this is another stupid conspiracy theory, along with vaccination fear. I will not continue this.
Cyanides are produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and algae and are found in a number of foods and plants. Cyanides are found, although in small amounts, in certain seeds and stones, e.g. those of apple, mango, peach, and bitter almonds.[8] In plants, cyanides are usually bound to sugar molecules in the form of cyanogenic glycosides and defend the plant against herbivores. Cassava roots (also called manioc), also contain cyanogenic glycosides.
He...appreciates the gesture of prayer for him? Did he really say that? He doesn't want to be churlish about it? I can't believe I heard that. I can't believe I heard him indicate heartbreak about not seeing his children grow up and get married, etc. Sorry folks, but I was really expecting a ferociously angry, hateful, impolite man - because the atheist I know on my job is like that. Very aggressive and vicious and hateful and furious with the world and all that. Um, wow.
I hope to God his treatment goes well and makes a recovery...the world can't afford to lose one of it's greatest intellects right now! GOD DAMMIT! At least, like so few are able to do, he can say he's left a positive and brilliant legacy behind him. I'll miss that voice of his so much.
This is the only time I have ever seen Hitchens look old. He looked young even in his late 50s, with a full head of hair. However, no matter how thin or sick he gets, he will keep his rationality and dignity until the end.... without the crutch or illusion of "faith".
The Unitarian Trophoblast Thesis of Cancer by Scottish embryologist Dr. John Beard in 1902, contends that cancer cells are errant healing cells (indistinguishable from trophoblasts a.k.a. pre-embryonic cells that bore into the uterine wall for nourishment) & that the hydrogen cyanide that's tightly locked the molecular structure of fruit seeds (except citrus), along w/benzaldahyde & glucose, is deadly to these malignant cells & harmless to normal tissue. Watch: "World Without Cancer."
Cancer is a disease, a chronic metabolic disease akin to other chronic metabolic diseases such as scurvy, night blindness, pellagra & pernicious anemia. No such disease has ever been cured through mechanical manipulation of the body. Where cancer is seated isn't relevant to its cure. The preventative, cure & treatment of this vitamin-deficiency disease is Amygdalin (vitamin B17). People who get at least 100 m.g. of B17 daily cannot contract cancer.
[INTERNET: In 1912, the First International Congress of Eugenics was held at the University of London. The president of the Congress was Major Leonard Darwin, son of Charles Darwin and one of the first English vice presidents was Sir Winston Churchill, later Prime Minister of England.]
I love that AC just accepts Hitchens' choice of words and refers to the Holy Father, Pope of the Church of Rome Blah Blah Blah, as "Ratzinger" 3:54 lol

@BrandonMSwan : The cancer industry lies. The cancer industry claims that the cyanide contained within fruit seeds is deadly. Cyanide (hydrogen cyanide) is bountiful in spinach, collard greens, brown rice and bamboo...as well as in clover and broad-leaf grasses. If what the lords of cancer preach is true then your average salad bar would be lethal.
@ThePregnancySlaves Wow, if doctors only knew... oh wait they do. Cite the study your claim is based on, especially the part about B17 preventing all cancer. Please, keep the Woo out of this thread, it is a insult to rationality.
@ThePregnancySlaves Amygdalin is as harmful to normal human cells as it is to caner cells, it is mildly damaging and in large doses very dangerous. Cancer needs targeted solutions.
i respect the man immensely. though, i must say, i cracked a smile at the "i get moist when i think about my children." i know what he meant, but boy...the things people can do with out of context sentences is scary. lol
he's a good man and will leave a legacy that is larger than himself. that said, his tone and character will be missed.
@avedic I know that statistically his chances are poor but maybe while he's still alive people should not be talking about him as if he's already dead.
It fills me with dread that we might lose one of our bright intellectual candles before his time. My best wishes go out to this outstanding individual.
I know people will complain that he, Anderson Cooper, asks far too many questions about God and salvation and so forth.
But then again, I get the feeling that he does so in order to avoid asking questions about Hitchen's children, and family, which he probably wanted to ask. Hitchen's can be seen, even when just mentioning them, to get emotional.
Its tough to broach the topic of death, no matter how much we deny it. We talk about life, openly and honestly, but death is the big No-No topic.
Prognosis is 5% for a 5 year survival rate. Not good at all. I hope your the 5%er Mr. Hitchens...The world is a much better place with you in it. A real class act!
On a less important note. A.Cooper's choice of apparel? Really? On TV and wearing old sneakers, jeans, button up shirt with buttoned cuffs with a black blazer? What a classless clown!
He has certainly become softer with his situation with Cancer, perhaps thoughtful is the right word. not specifically in relative to God, but humanity in general.
I really hope he outlives his favorite rivals.~+~I wonder if he worries he'll be channeled and puppeted by a religion-propagandizing "entity" while he's not "lucid". I'm 99% sure that's what he was thinking when he said that. I'd be worried about that too. May all the forces that govern truth protect him from such a fate, even if only for his children's sake. I know they will.
He's handling this philosophically and rationally, the way he lived his life and the way it will end. He will follow HIS path to the very end. What a true hero, how stalwart & brave. He is a teacher to us all!
Safe Journey Hitchens and I mean that. Your Philosophical, Political, Literary, and Historical perspective will be missed, and right now we needed you, U.S.A. needed you to wake us from our "Dogmatic slumbers". I am unlucky that I awoken to Hitchens at such a late time in his career. I can't believe this, and because of Christopher Hitchens I awoken to dis-belief, to Atheism. "God is not Great."
@Oishi08 Your boyfriend Christopher Hitchens has consistently supported the New World Order, because he's so damned independent! That's why he revises historical accounts to fit his rhetoric, because the ends justify the means. Hitchens is a brave man who bravely supported the sanctions against Iraq that precipitated the deaths of 500,000 children from cholera, dysentery, tetanus, inner-ear infections and strep throat. His majesty Hitchens believes in a monarchical world controlled by bankers.
There is no good reason not to seek the Lord for forgivness and healing, unless you don't want to live, ie, his mother, brother. I pray that when he seeks God with all of his heart, that he gets saved and cured of ALL cancer.
Cancer is a disease of deficiency as is thirst & starvation. Without water we die, no amount of praying can change that fact of course as the Lord provides, through His bounty, those things we need to survive. Indeed, Scripture stresses the importance of consuming seeds: "Give us this day our daily bread," was written at a time when bread contained whole, raw seeds--seeds abounding in cancer-killing Amygdalin.
In my estimation the list of those morally superior to Christopher Hitchens is few in number. I'm aware morality is objective, but I'm somewhat vindicated when observing the amount of people who agree with his ideals.
I believe the world could only benefit by adopting his opinion on most issues. I'm not sure of a higher compliment I could give the Great Hitch.
"This is the scientific reality that the seeds of all common fruits (except citrus) contain Vitamin B17, an anti cancer vitamin. If we ingest proper quantities for these vitamin either in the pure form or through ingesting the nitrilosidic foods we will be able to prevent cancer just as surely as we are able to prevent Scurvy by the use of vitamin C or Pernicious Anemia by the use of vitamin B12. ".....Ernest Krebs, Jr.
@TheKap1an Well, maybe christians are wrong, and the higher entity (or entities), if they exist, hate the christians. Maybe the christians and only the christians will burn in hell. You never know. :)
This interviewer's stunning oafishness is astounding. Its as if he has never heard of Hitchens before, will not try to understand his life's work, or plainly thinks the inevitability of death will destroy Christopher's resolve. I find that both typical and offensive
He may be "Hitch the Snitch" who cozied up to the neocons, he may be an "ex-Trotskyist poppinjay", but I like him! I hope he survives this. Henry Kissinger, grant him his wish!
Watched this video and thought how brave this man is. Then thought how only a non believer can face the end with true courage. For him it truly is the end, he makes way for the next generation. The religious are simply moving to another, better place. Best wishes Hitch, its not over yet but when it is many more will carry on your fight. Oh yes, just one final thought. Maybe we should put money into cancer research rather than the church. The faithful get cancer too.
That's what I said a couple of months ago when I first heard he got cancer.
Rather than "praying" for Chris - why not take a few Sundays off from Church and donate your collection money to Cancer Research where it will be put to REAL good use?
Hitchens is rational about his own degenerating health while most of us let emotion and self-loath take over. He has preserved his dignity and self respect by not using prayer and taking faith in a religion just because he's in a foxhole. I think it would be hard if he died because watching him die would be as profoundly equivalent as watching a star die in the night. His intellectual contributions to the West is great reguardless of left wing or right wing.
I was raised as an atheist. One of my earliest memories is asking my father about god as we still had prayers in school then. He said that "man is an animal like all other animals but we are too egotistical to accept death". My father died of cancer last year. He was a self made millionaire that did a great deal for charity, had 6 children and 9 grandchildren. When he knew he was dying he said his only regret was that he would not be there to help his family. I am sorry to hear this news.
this man gave me hope for humanity with his words and his courage. if anyone out there has the fortitude and intelligence to be able to follow in his footsteps, please do so. we need you. we need hitchens.
That's not actually true. There are loads of others.
The only trouble is that Hitchens and Dawkins are very charismatic figures that effortlessly get peoples' attention. I couldn't honestly say that about most of the rest.
Let's see how Hitchens handles his personal denigration in the next several months, after he's championed the denigration of Arab children from the comfort of his luxurious Washington, D.C. townhouse.
The most heartbreaking comment in this interview is when he says, "The entity that by then wouldn't be me." That just made me well up...the idea of him becoming anything other than the brilliant person he is is just too much. I hope he survives this.
If there is a god, who knows what it would be like? Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, but if there is, I would highly doubt that the creator of all the cosmos would be a vindictive asshole. Anyway, get well, Hitch. I was looking forward to the ten commandment rewrite.
@ScottJG21 Marriage is not just for the religious, it is a day to celebrate a commitment between a couple. I guess he just wants to see his kids settled and happy.
It is a shame that we had to lose Carl Sagan now his number is next, wonder if he has tried any alternative therapies? I know a few that work in many cases. Pranayama can probably work too - someone email him to try it.
Hitchens has made me think. I may come to the same revelations that he has, though not at the same speed, nor with the same conviction. However, truth is a constant, no matter how, and when, we arrive at it. Hitchens, to me, is truth, conviction, and courage. My thoughts are with him. My prayers are not. Were the roles reversed, I'd like to think he'd feel the same.
I've always been tremendously impressed with this man's intellect and point of view. I wish I had a fraction of his skills in terms of oratory and ability to express one's view on a subject. I don't know what his prognosis is, but I hope that he's able to fight this disease to remission. The world would be a far less enlightened place for his passing.
I never doubted for a minute that Hitchens would keep being a true atheist even in the face of death. Intellectual people understand that any form of god is impossible to be existing so the whole thought of a god is illogical and totally irrational.
I do wonder if Hitchens has a part deep in him that he isn't giving away and finding it difficult to admit (given his public reputation) to at least the possibility of a God to face one day.
@Shazoolo Do you have a deep part inside you that is afraid the Egyptian religion was right and that if you don't get mummified you won't resurrect in the next life? Did you build a Ka statue just in case? Do you fear the Weighing of the Heart when your good deeds are compared to your bad ones? I can understand how it would be hard to admit these fears in public as well.
@Shazoolo "a God to face one day." indicated a type of god that interferes with the universe. Deist's believe that if a god did create the universe that it has no involvement with it now. That kind of god would never face anyone. So the type of god does matter to the equation.
@Shazoolo what?? you got told straight and thats your answer? what god?? what creator?? show me his existence, prove it with proof not fairytales mate, god is not in the equation, just because you cant answer it yet doesn't mean you should believe in thousands of years old barbaric attempts at explaining everything
Thank God (irony) for death, if all men were not designed to die, we'd still be plagued with the likes of Hitler, Dahlmer, stalin and Reagan....the cost? we lose great minds like george carlin's and christopher's.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hitchens won't be able to see his children get married if he dies of cancer. Not to be cruel but that wouldn't punish his children at all. I will however prey for you Hitchens, you are scum, but Paul took some time to acknowledge God. So shall you.
@galorize12rt Children are often saddened by the death of a parent - moron. You are a perfect example of a Christian. Sadistic, evil, hypocritical, and troll.
@galorize12rt sickening people like you are why i will NEVER worship your small, vengeful, child's bigoted fantasy of a false god. may you live to someday confront and cure yourself of the shameful disease of hatred and pettiness that "faith" has afflicted you with.
If anyone can beat it - it's you Christopher. You intellect represents one of the greatest on the XX and XXI century. I am definitely rooting for you but...if it's too late...Keep having fun and drinking your favorite. Staying home and facing on a daily basis the inexorable destiny will eventually bring your day much sooner. We love you Mr. Hitchens.
The man has such class in his darkest hours... I hope that I am able to face my last hours with the dignity he's shown in these 2 videos... and thanks for posting them.. LONG LIVE CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS and may his work survive many years after his death (whenever that is).... peace!
@DavidRandallCurtis: His greatest legacy will be found in exposing the nastiest of the fundamentalists who will be seen to be cheering his death and excoriating his life and works. He will still be shedding light on mankinds worst failing for some time to come.
@gypsydisciple Oh I bet you are just loving this aren't you? Probably a big joke around the loving christian campfire. How you guys reconcile a "loving god" with the twisted concept of eternal hell is beyond me. You might as well make your smug comments about atheists while you're alive--because you fairy tale heaven you think is waiting just for you--it was never there. Better get in all the holier-than-thou rantings while you're still alive. Because all our days are numbered.
@DavidRandallCurtis No I am not loving it. I pray he will drop his pride and accept salvation. God is loving for offering him a way out.. but the hate Chris has for God makes him reject Gods love so he can blame no one if he ends up in hell. This I know he will not be so proud on Judgment day. but you going to do when they come for you David? Better get in all the sin you can your time is running out and you will soon have your day in front of the God you say is a fairy tale
@gypsydisciple There are 22 religions today that boast over 500,000 members & 32,000 + denominations of christianity. And you, just 1 person out of 7 billion-- somehow know what god I'll supposedly answer to after I die? And you think atheists are arrogant! What is more likely... that all these conflicting religions/denominations are myths? Or that no one knows if a god really exists? There's less chance of error and more humility in admitting the later...
@DavidRandallCurtis My God is the only one that has the right or power to Judge you. None of the other so called Gods ever claimed to be the maker of all things or offered you salvation as a free gift. So if he is not the only God he is the God all others Gods bow down to. So if your gonna play the what God should I worship it should be the one above all Gods. The one that made you.
@gypsydisciple You're like a school kid boasting your god can beat any other god. I've talked to a lot lot of different religious people in my years and I've heard the exact same arguement made for different gods; sometimes something else put is put forth as "proof" with the same passion. I strongly doubt there is a god--but have to add there is a chance I could be wrong. Could you ever say that there is the slightest chance you got the whole god thing wrong? Or are you infallible too?
@DavidRandallCurtis Your like a school kid kid plugging your ears and covering your eyes yelling at God I CAN'T SEE YOU I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!!!! all you need to do is look at creation and see proof of a creator....
@DerpableDerp You are starting to understand! If I want to reject the fact that the house I live in had a builder all the proof in the world can't change my childish ways. if you show me the permits I can say > Permits are man made and can't be trusted.. If you show me a picture of the builder I can say> That might be a contractor but how do I know he built my house? If you show me video I can say > With today's movie magic any one with adobe software can fake video. And on and on. CHILDISH WAYS
@DerpableDerp This man is about to die and because of his pride he will reject salvation and burn in hell forever and your asking me if I am retarded. That's a good one
@gypsydisciple rofl what kind of god would allow anyone to burn FOREVER?? you really dont see how your failed your brain is do you? its sad hearing comments from people who believe so much in absolutely nothing, something they only know because it was probably instilled in them as children, do you think all muslims are going to hell? maybe the japanese? but not you no...your special....lmao yes my friend...you are the definition of a retard
@TheLydianRocks here here my friend! Dont be too upset by fools like him. Remember, a valid argument takes two minds, and clearly I only see one here.
@gypsydisciple oh and btw, what kind of an EVILGOD would make a man with so much pride or lead his life in such a way that he just couldn't believe because of all the mixed religions, wars, evil perpetrations of various religions...why did god make christopher an atheist??? answer...he didnt...because hes not real and if he is he clearly doesn't care at all about humans...you are a twat
@TheLydianRocks God has given all mankind a freewill and offered salvation as a free gift. if Christopher Hitchens ends up in hell it's by his own choice. He is an Atheist because he loves sin and hates God. it has nothing to do with lack of proof
@gypsy bollocks,he is an atheist because he cant believe in a god that allows so many religions that do evil things most of all islam and christianity and therefore reluctant to join those groups, and if god does exist im sure there will be a special place in hell for the likes of sinners like you, listen to the hateful things you say and tell me god will not punish you? considering god gives babies STDS and allows little girls to be locked away in dungeons for 30 years i wouldn't be so hopefull
@TheLydianRocks@bollocks What gave you people the idea that God's purpose is to stop people from having a free will? He tells us in ps 50:21 that he is going to sit back and let us do as we wish as if he is not looking till judgment day and then he will judge all according to the choices we made. He offers us salvation as a free gift but will let you chose hell if you wish.
@gypsy lmao so why did your all loving god make me so that i just cant bring myself to believe because of all the evil that gods name has caused without even a shred of evidence its all worth it, even then it wouldnt be, why is a 3 year old sodomised under the presence of god? because she gets a barbie doll in heaven? and what kind of loving god then sends me to hell because of the way he made me, why give us logic and reasoning only to punish us for it, your god is satan himself

The religious folks need to watch this and really learn what true integrity is. It's something impossible from a religious worldview, because they believe God is always watching, therefore, you always have the selfish motivation to behave a certain way. Hitchens however, is standing for what he believes to be TRUE and not standing for what he perceives to net him the greatest reward.
Hitchens has my respect.

I see him as possessing noble character, honesty, and an indomitable will. May he beat the odds over this cancer and live for many years to write more books and engage in more debates.

Cyanide-rich Amygdalin is plentiful in spinach. If it were deleterious to cells then the salad bar would be a place of great human suffering & carnage. Horses, goats, cows & sheep survive on grass, shoots, fruit & fruit seeds all of which abound in hydrogen cyanide.
ThePregnancySlaves 1 year ago
@ThePregnancySlaves No, cyanide rich Amygdalin is not plentiful in Spinache, whereas in Apricot seeds (where it is mostly promoted) it is in a much more purified form and is therefore dangerous. Also, it is certianly not a vitamin
Multiple studies on Amygdalin, or Laetrile have shown that it is at least ineffective, at most deleterious. It has been tested in animals and it has been tested in humans, this is another stupid conspiracy theory, along with vaccination fear. I will not continue this.

Cyanides are produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and algae and are found in a number of foods and plants. Cyanides are found, although in small amounts, in certain seeds and stones, e.g. those of apple, mango, peach, and bitter almonds.[8] In plants, cyanides are usually bound to sugar molecules in the form of cyanogenic glycosides and defend the plant against herbivores. Cassava roots (also called manioc), also contain cyanogenic glycosides.

Cancer is a disease, a chronic metabolic disease akin to other chronic metabolic diseases such as scurvy, night blindness, pellagra & pernicious anemia. No such disease has ever been cured through mechanical manipulation of the body. Where cancer is seated isn't relevant to its cure. The preventative, cure & treatment of this vitamin-deficiency disease is Amygdalin (vitamin B17). People who get at least 100 m.g. of B17 daily cannot contract cancer.

I know people will complain that he, Anderson Cooper, asks far too many questions about God and salvation and so forth.
But then again, I get the feeling that he does so in order to avoid asking questions about Hitchen's children, and family, which he probably wanted to ask. Hitchen's can be seen, even when just mentioning them, to get emotional.
Its tough to broach the topic of death, no matter how much we deny it. We talk about life, openly and honestly, but death is the big No-No topic.

@Oishi08 Your boyfriend Christopher Hitchens has consistently supported the New World Order, because he's so damned independent! That's why he revises historical accounts to fit his rhetoric, because the ends justify the means. Hitchens is a brave man who bravely supported the sanctions against Iraq that precipitated the deaths of 500,000 children from cholera, dysentery, tetanus, inner-ear infections and strep throat. His majesty Hitchens believes in a monarchical world controlled by bankers.

Cancer is a disease of deficiency as is thirst & starvation. Without water we die, no amount of praying can change that fact of course as the Lord provides, through His bounty, those things we need to survive. Indeed, Scripture stresses the importance of consuming seeds: "Give us this day our daily bread," was written at a time when bread contained whole, raw seeds--seeds abounding in cancer-killing Amygdalin.

Hitchens is rational about his own degenerating health while most of us let emotion and self-loath take over. He has preserved his dignity and self respect by not using prayer and taking faith in a religion just because he's in a foxhole. I think it would be hard if he died because watching him die would be as profoundly equivalent as watching a star die in the night. His intellectual contributions to the West is great reguardless of left wing or right wing.

I was raised as an atheist. One of my earliest memories is asking my father about god as we still had prayers in school then. He said that "man is an animal like all other animals but we are too egotistical to accept death". My father died of cancer last year. He was a self made millionaire that did a great deal for charity, had 6 children and 9 grandchildren. When he knew he was dying he said his only regret was that he would not be there to help his family. I am sorry to hear this news.

@gypsydisciple oh and btw, what kind of an EVILGOD would make a man with so much pride or lead his life in such a way that he just couldn't believe because of all the mixed religions, wars, evil perpetrations of various religions...why did god make christopher an atheist??? answer...he didnt...because hes not real and if he is he clearly doesn't care at all about humans...you are a twat

@TheLydianRocks God has given all mankind a freewill and offered salvation as a free gift. if Christopher Hitchens ends up in hell it's by his own choice. He is an Atheist because he loves sin and hates God. it has nothing to do with lack of proof

@gypsy bollocks,he is an atheist because he cant believe in a god that allows so many religions that do evil things most of all islam and christianity and therefore reluctant to join those groups, and if god does exist im sure there will be a special place in hell for the likes of sinners like you, listen to the hateful things you say and tell me god will not punish you? considering god gives babies STDS and allows little girls to be locked away in dungeons for 30 years i wouldn't be so hopefull

@TheLydianRocks @bollocks What gave you people the idea that God's purpose is to stop people from having a free will? He tells us in ps 50:21 that he is going to sit back and let us do as we wish as if he is not looking till judgment day and then he will judge all according to the choices we made. He offers us salvation as a free gift but will let you chose hell if you wish.

@gypsy lmao so why did your all loving god make me so that i just cant bring myself to believe because of all the evil that gods name has caused without even a shred of evidence its all worth it, even then it wouldnt be, why is a 3 year old sodomised under the presence of god? because she gets a barbie doll in heaven? and what kind of loving god then sends me to hell because of the way he made me, why give us logic and reasoning only to punish us for it, your god is satan himself

@gypsydisciple People like you should not be allowed to have children, you are simply too stupid to realise how stupid you are.
Read the bible cover to cover and then try to justify the evil done in your gods name.

@gypsydisciple I would also like some proof of your god.
This is where you send me brain dead bible verses instead of finding concrete proof.
