He was always either charming and excellent company or sullen and quite tempremental. Always 'on' though which i imagine can get quite tiresome.Falling on a bruisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05518409624331248084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-89852284445588691932009-04-14T07:19:00.000+01:002009-04-14T07:19:00.000+01:00That's interesting that you met him, Lucy?

It was at the bar, was it? ;) Seriously though, I imagine he was good company, am I right? <br /><br />I think 'God Is Not Great' makes a nice companion piece to 'The God Delusion', as it takes a more social/historical angle (as compared to Dawkins's drier, more scientific book). <br /><br />And I'm not a Hitchens completist, but my favourite piece of writing of his is the superbly concise 'The Trial of Henry Kissinger'.Cheezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176170186766506070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-64532379978723498942009-04-14T06:14:00.000+01:002009-04-14T06:14:00.000+01:00"he recently came to attention again with his anti...<I>"he recently came to attention again with his anti-religion book 'God Is Not Great' where he sets about dismantling the very idea of a Creator."</I>I knew a fellow much to the "Religious Right" of me who debated Hitchens a few years back. I saw a video of this debate (which is unfortunately owned by some "Christian" network that doesn't give it out unless you pay an arm and a leg). I have to say that Hitchens got awfully mauled to such an extent that I accused this fellow in neglecting to treat Hitchens with "Christian Charity".<br /><br />If Hitchens has good arguments against religion, he certainly failed to give any in this particular debate.<br /><br /><br />I also know a few folks with standing wagers that he'll jump to something like Catholicism within the next couple of decades. Dawkins thinks that the notion of God is absurd; Hitchens, on the other hand, seems angry with God. The latter sort always ends up in the believers camp.<br /><br />But I suppose you are right, if he ever decides to convert his past positions certainly won't prevent him from it.<br /><br /><br />-NogNoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741030321448255586noreply@blogger.com
