Hitchens
This past week humanity saw the death of Christopher Hitchens, one of the great thinkers and debaters of the 20th Century. Many in the faith community didn't like his attacks on religion, the Pope, evolution or any other number of topics. I disagree with Hitchens on lots of things, but one of the things I appreciated about him was his desire to pursue truth (as he saw it) and to ask the hard questions. I know too many Christians who simply 'believe' because it's the easy thing to do, the thing they've always done and probably will always do. It's not something that shapes their lives, their interactions with others or their own thought processes. I think the damage to the Christian faith is much greater as a result of these 'pseudo-Christians' then from somone who's asking tough questions and persusing them to whatever end it takes them, even if that end make us a Christians feel a little bit uncomfortable.
