        I guess “Hitchens wasn’t an arse & listened thoughtfully to my beliefs” wouldn’t sell so many books!

        @LarryTaunton does no such thing! @Evolutionistrue 'despises' open-mindedness on God question. Hitchens open-minded to the end!

        think his actual last words were something akin to, "Capitalism downfall." If I am correct?

        You think Hitch was trying to convert him by asking him to better understand his god? Conversion works both ways

        How shaky of a foundation does a position need to be to make up such "evidence".

        @DAaronovitch As Hitchens said, "there is no dear leader, do not give up your critical faculties." Scots please note.
