I am a fan of Hitch, not least because of his attack on the wishful thinking, lazy thinking and sentimental thinking that passes for much of Christianity (I am Christian). And I like his take on life, as expressed here (the bit about living ironically is spot on): “I know what’s coming. I know no one beats these odds. And it’s a matter of getting used to that and growing up and realizing that you are expelled from your mother’s uterus as if shot from a cannon towards a barn door studded with old nail files and rusty hooks. It’s a matter of how you use up the intervening time in an intelligent and ironic way; and try not to do anything ghastly to your fellow creatures.”
