Whether you like Johnny Walker Black, Hitch's drink, or not... take the time, & take a drink, of whatever libation you prefer, & recite a toast to our dearly departed, & hugely missed, greatest spokesman of clear thought & Atheism, CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS.......
Just think, if Hitch hadn't have drank so much and smoked so much, we would probably still have him around to kick religion's ass! On the other hand, those 2 vices may have helped him do just that! Sort of a quandry isn't it? Do miss him though! I wonder who we atheists consider as his replacement in 2012? Richard Dawkins? Neil deGrasse Tyson? Sam Harris? I can't think of anyone who is really "in your face" like the HITCH was! What say you Andy?
What I really liked about Hitchens was that he was first and foremost a rhetoritician. Many prominent atheists are scientists and know their arguments quite well. However, they just don't have a love affair with the English language that Hitch did, and that shows.
I am a big fan of Hitchens. What program/site did you use to make your memes?
ReplyDeleteI was on quickmeme this morning and pounded these out. Of course, I'd been thinking about them for a while.
