For those who care:
Praying for my friend Christopher Hitchens. By Francis Collins
http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/guestvoices/2010/09/praying_for_my_friend_christopher_hitchens.html
Pray for Hitch day over at last. I hope we're done with this sort of nonsense. Read a book, watch a CH debate and donate to cancer research instead.
Some questions to the believers out there:
Why is there diseases in the first place?
Is it moral for jesus to heal a few people and then ignore the rest of the planet with the effect of condemning millions of people into painful agony?
What if you pray to the wrong god and make things all the worse?
/ 1984
Builds character?
Larry Taunton is a jackass. What a smug and rude response. A clear example of the pseudo-humility so many of the religious claim for themselves.
I am gonna pray right now for Larry Taunton to get cancer. Smug prick. I love how these religious douche-bags like him say such things , as long as they deploy their fake smiles. His pretend god is probably really proud of him.
I think this sums up the Hitchens Watch;
Mark G
I think NYC is even better. You can get beer round the clock except for Sunday morning. I remember, some years ago, attempting to buy beer with some friends after an all night coke bender (Lindsay Lohan, etc.) and being thwarted because...it was Sunday morning. We were shocked and outraged by this egregious prohibitionism. It didn't seem fair.
I bet there are hearts all over Fallujah just bleeding for Mark G right now...
