The Sad Case of Christopher Hitchens's Hero-worshippers

November 3, 2010

"It's amusing, if frustrating, to see the response of dogmatic unbelievers to my brother's thoughtful and generous remarks.

They would much prefer him not to have said this."

The Skeptic's Skeptic

By Michael Shermer

"Although he has no formal training in science, I would pit Hitchens against any of the purveyors of pseudoscientific clap trap because of his unique and enviable skill at peeling back the layers of an argument and cutting to its core."
