Going to be brutally honest and admit that I have no idea who he is.

He is kind of like Richard Dawkins..pro logical thinking..mostly against religion.

I guess he now knows whether he was right or wrong.

Unless he was right, in which case he doesn't.

EDIT: Oh no, I've been beaten to it. On a serious note, really sad news. I'm definitely going to go out and buy his books soon. His last ever interview is in the latest issue of the New Statesman if you're interested.

I wonder if some of people who will 'celebrate' his death are mixing him up with Peter Hitchens :confused:

Couple of moments of genius from the main man. Hilarious stuff.

I might not have agreed with him on absolutely everything, but he was undeniably a brilliant writer. Gone too soon. :rip:

I don't know who Hitchens was. :nah:

But it is horrible to take the piss out of/revel in his demise , particularily from a horrible disease like Cancer. :naughty:

I wasn't such a fan of his habit of preaching opinion as truth, then again I'm not a big fan of rhetoric in general. Nevertheless, he exercised his right to freedom of speech to the nth degree and gave a lot of people strength in the process. He will be missed.

The world is a better place with one less bigot in it. Good riddance.

Correct, so why don't you do us a favour.

Embarrassed at the amount of people on this thread who clearly only know about his writings on religion...

Mostly? His career spanned decades before his focus shifted to religion... I'm genuinely embarrassed that so many people think his main contributions to the world of writing have been on religion.
