When the usual storm of Christian abuses arrived, he objected strongly to only one - the insinuation that he can't hold a drink.

"God Is Not Great - How Religion Poisons Everything" is less about "atheism" than it is about the deadening hand of religious bullshit on the heart and mind of humanity. You should give it a go, Shel.

I happen to have an electronic version and anyone who wants it should just pm an email address.

I plan to read it again in his honor.

I particularly like the audiobook he personally performed.

I enjoyed your debates, especially the friendship you developed with Douglas Wilson. May you rest in peace Hitch.

Circle me up, just let me know who you are when you do. https://plus.google.com/u/0/109248592768575424151/posts

I added you to friends and responded to your comment; if you see me, John Cantor and this avvy? That's me. Wink

I haven't even accessed that social media enough to acquire any kind of proficiency. Right now, I gotta go access the supermarket for the proper lubrication. Wink

Make sure you have the Google Hangout plugin installed and that your mic and speakers work with it. That's been the biggest problem with hangout virgins so far.

Shoot it to me, Min! I would love to have it on my phone. I'm assuming you still have me email?

Thanks!

Hitchins politics were to the right of mine but his take on religion was a much better argued version of mine.

His writings were great.

Who knew mother Teresa was such a hypocrit.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
