RIP Christopher Hitchens
Response to comment [from other]: "Let's see just how long a sense of decency lasts in this thread."
It is decent to tell people the truth (2 Cor 5:11). God is just (Deut 32:4). Now he knows (Ga 6:7, Mt 12:32).
"Hitchens is dead, he can no longer hear you."
You don't have to follow him (Ro 5:8).

Response to comment [from an atheist]: "Whether it realizes it, the world will miss him."
No they won't (Ec 9:10).
The Lord is good. He has saved his brother Peter (Pr 15:24, Ps 23:6; 52:1).
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "May he find peace..."
Too late for
that.
Your decision for Jesus must be made on this side of the grave.

No Purgatory
Response to comment [from an atheist]: "What would Allah, Thor, Odin, Ishvar, Khrishna, Rama or Satnam think of such abject cowardice..."
Why don't false gods bother you? Why just Jesus? Jn 1:1, Jn 14:6. We don't see the atheist types getting flustered during Ramadan.
Response to comment [from an atheist]: "Christopher had a nice arsenal of words he started gathering at a young age (as a result of the victim end of school yard bullying) as he found words more powerful than physical force."
Do you think he's saying the same thing now? Pr 20:17, Lk 16:27-31
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "So for his eulogy..."
That will be a sad funeral (1 Thes 4:13).
Response to comment [from an atheist]: "...I've seen him smile, laugh, and tell some good jokes..."
No more of that. No more Jack Daniels either (Ec 8:8; Heb 9:27).
Response to comment [from a
Satanist]: [Vaquero45 quote: "Never
heard of him, but from the article he doesn't sound like someone many people
will miss."] "...And that's a fine, ignorant, and rotten attitude. Just in time
for the holidays, no less. Nice going..."
Drink up doggie (2 Pe 2:22). You'll be joining him soon enough (Jn 3:19).
Response to comment [from other]: [Knight quote: "...I feel bad for his family and friends who loved him."] "Well said"
[Loved ones grief] Will your loved ones agree with God's decision for you? Re 7:17
"What is "God's decision" for me?"
"You are free to choose. You are not free not to choose. No choice is a choice. You are free to choose but you are not free to choose the consequences of that choice." ~ Adrian Rogers Deut 30:19
Response to comment [from a Satanist]: "The world lost a fine man and a great mind..."
He was a fool. I wouldn't say that. God does (Ps 53:1).
"...and we're the lesser for his loss."
Speak for yourself.
"What an insensitive hick like you makes of him doesn't really matter..."
What do you have against hicks? Are you a bigot?
"...My favorite quote for today: "One of the beginnings of human emancipation is the ability to laugh at authority."
Do you have one
of those "Question Authority" bumper stickers on your
Prius?
They never question Leftist authority. Eph 6:12

[WizardofOz: "As usual, I have no idea what you're talking about."
Arthur Brain: "Neither does she..."
WizardofOz:] "Or, she lets others do the talking for her."
They'll get over you (Re 7:17).
