God grief

Christopher Hitchens has attacked modern-day saints like Mother Teresa and Princess Di, but his new book takes aim at the most sacred cow of all: The Almighty.

    Hitchens is not a Marxist.

    Look, I don't agree with Hitchens on very much at all anymore, but if you're going to disagree with the guy (or even ridicule his beliefs), you should stick to facts (his beliefs regarding Iraq are often ridiculous, after all). Short posts calling him a commie or a drunk are no different than the Free Republic posts on Al Gore that start off with cracks about his weight.
