Guest wake Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I regularly keep up to date with his writing. He's canceled future events citing his health, and hasn't written anything in a couple weeks. Things are looking bleak. http://www.dailyhitchens.com/2011/03/hitchens-dsouza-debate-canceled.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Iain C Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 it's a terrible shame really - i don't always agree with everything he writes, but he's a compelling, eloquent and incredibly intelligent writer. he'll be sadly missed. i've got to read that autobiography...

Guest jim Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Never liked the guy. His smarmy voice, the tone of his writings (and often their content), his fawning idiot fans. Still, sad news that he's going so (relatively) young. It should have been Dawkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought!

If I were half as intelligent, I'd probably be twice as pompous. to be honest, as much as I am for respecting religious views to a certain extent, its nice to see someone straight up go "stop fucking talking, you are making shit up and you are stupid for doing so." When Dawkins talked to that one creationist lady I was about to tear my hair out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wake Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Actually, many former religious people have cited his and Dawkins' books as being the source for losing their faith. So you are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
