Christopher Hitchens Has Passed Away
I was checking my email a few days ago and ran across Yahoo! news headlines, as I usually do when going to my email box and ran across a headline that caught my attention - Christopher Hitchens, the famed, staunch atheist died of cancer a few days ago.
After reading that and thinking on it for a little while I thought to myself: when Mr. Hitchens wakes up, finding himself newly resurrected in the New World paradise he's going to find that he was very wrong about God.
In any case, Hitchens's life course is over. He will most likely be resurrected. How about the rest of us? Will we be there to greet him and speak with him? I for one would like to have a conversation with him because even though I didn't like what he had to say about God and religion he had a prodigious intellect.
Something sobering to think about for Christians looking forward to that hope in the New World.
