Entry: Hitchens' Hubris Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/hitchens_hubris#2624 Post contents: Great piece. I’m agnostic, and no fan of any religion. In other words, I’m part of the choir to whom Mr Hitchens attempts to sing. Well, he failed. Hitchens is a buffoon. He loathes Mother Theresa with a passion approaching bizarre, and yet thinks Wolfowitz is an admirable hero. He can barely find words against the blood thirsty Trotsky, yet he can find no words to admire the beauty, art, kindness and yes progressiveness - you touched on the Catholics in communist Poland, and the abolilitionists as two obvious examples - so many religions have brought us. The problem with Hitchens, as with so many fanatics (whether political or religious) is he can only fully embrace or fully loathe something. He cannot admit the possibility of error. If he is like his writing, he’s a pathetically shallow individual. Sent at: 2008 07 24
