Christopher Hitchens is writing atheist polemics up in heaven now
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16212418
Sad! I will miss his inimitable prose style and his ability to make untenable political viewpoints briefly dazzling.
Now, of course, the question is, how to we contact his bereaved family in order to buy his old clothes to re-sell on ebay?

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

Hypocritchins never did it for me, to much of a turncoat for my taste, one minute a Marxist next a neo-con. Not a big move I know, but there you are...
Nevertheless, the boy could schmooze...so credit where its due...

I was always surprised he did not go from atheistic polemicist to religious evangelist with that U turn but he was certainly an iconoclast.

I'm going to miss him. He did a great podcast on Orwell at Econtalk in 2009. The atheists have lost their strongest, most consistent voice.

Dawkins is much better talking about evolutionary biology.

I'm Reckless Reggie of the Regent Palace,
I'm in love with every gal;
I flirt with Maudie and I flirt with Alice,
I'm a real life Regent's pal.

Just because you cannot disprove the existence of something is no reason to believe it.
