A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...

Very good

Hitchens’ flat world

"At a certain point in reading God is not Great, Christopher Hitchens’ broadside against religion as a false, immoral, man-made construction, I half-expected Hitchens to write that if God were real and omnipotent, and consequently Hitchens so wrong, then God should have arranged things so as to prevent him from writing his book."


Fr. de Souza on Christopher Hitchens and his new book. Alas, what Mr. Hitchens has going for him is a rapier-like wit and an aggressive intellectual stance. It's difficult replying to someone who will only tear you to shreds in reply.
