How the Hitchens Boys Deal with God






I haven't blogged here for awhile, but I wanted to preserve this wonderful essay. I have loved Christopher Hitchens for years. His passion and his eloquent idealism and his use of language seduced me, long before his personality in debates about God. He is an international treasure. He is an original thinker. This link is to an essay about his brother Peter, a Christian, two years his junior and painfully at war with his brother for years about religion and other things. They love each other and have shared a life. Enjoy the rememberances and the wit and the essay on how their argument is resolving.
