Atheist gets cancer.

a) Nice religious types arrange prayer day for atheist.

b) Nasty religious types put bets on the date he will ask God for help while hoping he still burns in hell.

Atheist tells a) not to bother and laughs at b).

Also may I recommend you read[url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shallows-Internet-Changing-Think-Remember/dp/1848872259/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1283877048&sr=1-1 ] The Shallows by Nicholas Carr.[/url]

Strange. I never would have believed that "self-absorption" was about taking part in the most (world)widespread and furious debate of the age...

What a funny human you are, DrJ.

Is that what he's doing? Or is he just talking about himself? At what point did Hitchens become the atheist's poster boy? Richard Dawkins I can understand, as his beliefs are based on a lifetime of research, but Hitchens seems to have just joined the fashionably anti- bandwagon. I used to be a huge admirer of his writing, political and literary, but since 9/11 he seems to have disappeared up his own orifice.
