Do you mean Hitchy from the forum?? Please say no.

Christopher Hitchens. What a rude awakening it is when he realises that there is an afterlife afterall.

Thank you Hitch. You blasted your fiery wit into bright forges of mind, hammered out glowing language, cut through a veil of lies for us to catch a glimpse of who we are and who we might become.

My pleasure; no.see: Christopher Hitchens dies at 62 after suffering cancer - BBC News

He'd be fine with it; he'd think it was a huge joke - he'd pinch Mother Teresa's arse, buy St Peter a scotch and laugh for all eternity.

Hitch dead, Jim.

I probably only saw eye-to-eye with Hitch half the time, but it was a great half You'll be missed...

If there is an afterlife Hitch is far more likely to get to heaven than most Christians.

I'm reading about him now. I never really knew much about him, apart from he liked to debate. Add by Edit:
He has some thought provoking arguments and an honest appraisal of reality. I am reading the Amazon link to one of his books, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything and find that he was quite an intelligent soul.Edited by Phat, : addedEdited by Phat, : No reason given.

Yes, there is an afterlife for Hitch. He will live on in his writings, which people will value for many years to come.

Well put, Jar

BBC on Hitchens

While you remain merely rude, smirking at the newly dead.If there is a God to answer to after death, you're in far more trouble than Hitch.---RIP, Christopher Hitchens. I disagreed with many of your views, especially your later political stands, but I always admired your fine, fierce intelligence and your unflinching honesty.

I disagreed vehemently with Christopher Hitchens on a wide variety of political topics, while simultaneously cheering him on in his intellectual evisceration of religious fanaticism and his utter lack of fear in attacking even sacred cows like Mother Theresa.But the one thing that garnered my respect for him more than anything was when Hitchens wanted to prove to himself whether waterboarding was torture.He had himself waterboarded. Sixteen seconds later, he announced that yes, it is in fact torture.He was a man who approached the world on its own terms, unafraid to criticize where criticism was deserved, regardless of any cultural taboos...and he was willing to change his mind whenever new evidence justified an adjustment.He will be remembered, and he will be missed.
