Sad thing. He was a brilliant writer, I loved his English, I feared his wit and I admired his courage.
Actually there is nothing more to say.
If it wasn't for some of the comments that I see throughout the net. Some by people that should know better.
An atheist writing "
we miss you"... and he is not the
only one. Many more follow along that path.
So for all those supposed atheists that didnt yet get it:
Hitchens is dead, he is fucking dead. He can't hear you anymore!
Don't talk to dead people as if you were a theist (or are you one?).
Remember, take the good parts as example to follow or even better to exceed. But don't do as if he was "somwehere in heaven listening to or looking down on us".
To his family: my sincere condolences! We all lost an honest, intelligent writer, but this is nothing in relation to what you lost.
