@GaryLyons

My candle burns at both ends

It will not last the night

But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends

It gives a lovely light.

@GaryLyons Isn't that convenient that he created us with a hole that only he can fill and then he gets to choose whom he lets in on this arrangement. You're still using The Bible to prove The Bible and that just doesn't work. Continue to pray if you wish and I will continue to hope that you open your own eyes.

@Coffeeisnecessary I see your point after watching it again. But I have to say that Hitchens immediately agreed with Cooper. As to say, "Your right I don't want to die like my father and that did come to mind right away". I wish Hitchens would have made it to his fathers age, like most of us. Alot of it went on to talk about the book and his lifestyle. I still don't see anything wrong with that comment from Cooper, sorry.

@bwallace77 I know that Coopers brother died of suicide and the late Hitchens' dear mother, Yvonne, died of suicide after she had called him (presumed by him, for help). Those are two different things my dear! A mother may be closer than a brother, or the opposite. Anyways, Hitchens mentioned that his father died of the same type of cancer, but he just stated that he thought "That's what killed the old man", he didn't say "I don't want to die the same way my father did." He just didn't want deat

@Coffeeisnecessary Your comment makes no sence. Cooper brought the fact up because Hitchens died the same way his father did, Cooper was just expressing what Hitchens may have felt. You fail to mention Cooper talking about the two of them having a family member die of suicide.

[Whoknowsuknow]

He called it; there have been all sorts of rumours that he had a deathbed conversion, just like he said.

Context is everything. 4:48 "I become moist when I think about my children."

@andyissemicool I don't like the way that Cooper just threw in that his father died of a heart-attack; it diverts from what Hitchens is saying. He didn't say "I don't want to die the same way my father did" he just didn't want to die, but that's the way his father died.

[squamish4244]

I really wish he had made it. And that he had been at home to answer his mother's calls.

@ChristJesusReigns World history? The BIBLE? So you have the intellect of an orangutan? o_O
