RYANDAYTHOMPSON
One-offs from a Christian eclectic. I'll try not to offend you but, sometimes, it just happens.

One of the most intelligent men who has ever lived has died today. Tomorrow, there will be religious opportunists telling us that he is burning in hell or other such nonsense. That doesn’t matter. For some reason, that just seems like the kind of religious tribute that Hitch would have wanted. Once more, those who hold religious bigotry in there hearts will show their true colors once again, and thus help to defeat the ideals they hold so passionately. Rest in peace, Mr. Hitchens.
I am an exclusivist, theologically conservative Christian. And I am going to miss Christopher Hitchens.
I have an idea: How about we just grieve (as I will) his death and get over ourselves instead of bickering about where the man went when he died?
You confirm your own form of bigotry when you casually and preemptively dismiss those who hold a viewpoint other than your own for rational and reasonable reasons.
