Dawkins on Hitch, Jonny’s boot, and Colbert as Maureen Dowd
Richard Dawkins reviews God Is Not Great in the Times Literary Supplement.
“There is much fluttering in the dovecots of the deluded, and Christopher Hitchens is one of those responsible. Another is the philosopher A. C. Grayling. I recently shared a platform with both. We were to debate against a trio of, as it turned out, rather half-hearted religious apologists (“Of course I don’t believe in a God with a long white beard, but…”). I hadn’t met Hitchens before, but I got an idea of what to expect when Grayling emailed me to discuss tactics. After proposing a couple of lines for himself and
me, he concluded, “and Hitch will spray AK47 ammo at the enemy in characteristic style”…

My favorite Hitch quotes are from his comments on the “Reverend” Jerry Falwell’s death earlier this year:
On CNN >
ANDERSON COOPER: Christopher, I’m not sure if you believe in heaven, but, if you do, do you think Jerry Falwell is in it?
HITCHENS: No. And I think it’s a pity there isn’t a hell for him to go to.
ON Fox >
“If you gave Falwell an enema he would be buried in a matchbox.”
