I am literally heart broken. still am, since I found out a month and a half ago. (or was it two months?) Christopher Hitchens has been sort of my "inspiration" in my Non-Theist views, even over Sam Harris, Dan Barker, and of course,…
I saw it. He's certainly being stoic going on television so soon. I don't even know if he's done with his chemo treatments. I know I couldn't do that, I'd still be in shock. I don't know why this is affecting me as much…

How much easier to deal with this bit of stomach churning news by saying something about god’s will and turning over the actually caring about…
I heard the news this morning on the Youtube and it shook me; the condition is really nasty, but I hope he'll recover; even if he doesn't, you know what? I would still prefer 60 years of freedom of thinking (Hitchens's style) to 150…
