Christopher Hitchens has gotta hope he was right about the afterlife....but it's too late now.

He is one of my greatest heros, almost needless to say. A gadfly after my own heart.

Any guy who criticiazs Mother Teresa has got to be OK.

One of the great independent thinkers. Which is to say, I often agreed with him.

Well, someone had to do your thinking for you.

Hitchens didn't like tyrants, and Mother Teresa was a kind of tyrant in her own special way.

He didn't believe in that kind of hope

Although I respected his willingness to take on unpopular stances, I often was put off by by what I felt were mean-spirited attacks. Even though I agreed on a lot of what he felt about Jerry Falwell, his public attacks following Falwell's death when the family was still in mourning seemed vicious.
