After a long battle with cancer, [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16214466Christopher Hitchens[/url finally pops his clogs.

Drinker, smoker, wit and atheist. The written and spoken word are poorer for his loss

Been meaning to get around to reading 'God Is Not Great' for a while. Guess this will spur me on.

It must have been a hard life with Peter as your brother ... hence the drink I suppose.
I liked his stance on religion.
Unlike his foolish brother's.

But then God protected Peter and even named his gates after him, but let Christopher see them first.

So much for the saint of travellers eh?

It's a shame that he is not here to comment on [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16224394this[/url

I haven't been a Hitchens fan for long, around a year, but he and Dawkins have influenced me massively.

I'm glad I found his work before the churches start to rubbish him now he can't reply, loved his "Mother" Teresa programme as well as his debate with Blair and his interview with Paxman.

I bought his memoirs this morning, Hitch 22.

Not to mention Cameron's comments on religion last night.

Fook me. Idiot doesn't even cut it. That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard.

tb was saying there's talk on the intertubes that it was Glenn Beck – makes it even better.
