There is something sadly ironic about Hitchens losing his voice. For as long as he's been widely known as a spokesman for the "New Atheists," he has used his voice as a weapon. This has often taken the form of belittling people of faith for what he argues is their abandonment of reason, insteading clinging to myths and crutches, signs of weakness. We can only pray that he will have a change of heart. Surely God has cracked harder nuts.....

ReplyDeleteAs for his atheism, I've always thought that "he doth protest too much," and therefore continue to hope. He's not dead/silent yet.
