Tale of two sons: One an atheist, the other a believer

**Repost and Update**

Christopher Hitchens (on the left) is an outspoken atheist and fierce critic of religion. He has written books such as God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. You can also see many of his debates on You Tube. As many of you already know, he has a quick wit and a sharp tongue, which is a good thing, because many of his arguments against theism are very poor.

Then there is his younger brother Peter Hitchens. Peter's latest book is titled, The Rage Against God: How Atheism Led Me to Faith. As you can tell by the titles of these two books, the Hitchens brothers see life through very different prisms.

Hitchens on "Hitchens Prayer Day"

Although cancer and chemotherapy have clearly taken a toll on Hitchens, he still hopes to be remembered as one of those, “who are attempting to uphold reason and science against superstition.” But if life is just a cosmic accident, what does it matter?

Hitchens on cancer and people praying for him

It is no secret that Christopher Hitchens is an irreverent and outspoken atheist. He has penned books like God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, and he has also invested a fair amount of time debating theists. In fact there is a long laundry list of his debates on You Tube.

While he appears to maintain a stiff upper lip regarding his cancer diagnosis, his reaction is interesting when he speaks about people praying for him. It is certainly my hope and prayer that his eyes are opened and he is spared a Christ-less eternity.

Peter's book will be on the shelves May 1st. Here is a preview.
