Infidels around the world are mourning the loss of one of their prophets; Christopher Hitchens. The former alcoholic, chain-smoking writer/activist was only 62, a life not only cut short by extreme dissipation and self-abuse, but, also wasted in defiance of God.
How much different things would have been if this profane rebel had not succumbed to the wiles of Satan and had devoted his keen wit and intellect to the arch-rebel's service!
Well, there are still a number of high-profile infidels in supply to promote the devil's specious theories. Dupes like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, David Suzuki, fuzzy-faced P.Z. Myers, etc. These deluded souls all believe that life as we know it is simply the result of an accident. An accident that somehow imbued itself with the necessary complexity to arrive at the finished product that we have, today. Wow. And they think that believing in an all-powerful deity is stretching the imagination!
Hitchens' death, I know, won't even faze these people. They'll still believe whatever lies they are fed by the powerful Illuminati. The Illuminati are those that directly and knowingly serve Satan, directing and managing the affairs of everyone else on this planet; governments, institutions, commerce, etc. What infidels fail to consider is that there are powers that are far above anything that they can imagine, with the ability to hide themselves while still directly and indirectly influencing earthly affairs. A good analogy would be in insects in a field comprehending the farmer's intentions to spray poisonous insecticide throughout. Of course, they could never imagine or anticipate the purposes or intentions of a life form so much greater and significant than themselves! How much more so the difference between lowly men and fallen angels!
"Show me the evidence!" That's what the infidel chirps, defying all attempts to introduce reason to them. Infidels imagine themselves as highly evolved and critical thinkers, claiming logic as their standard. Logic dictates that they consider the complexity of life as simply being too much for something like an accident to have occurred. Where on Earth could anyone ever get the notion that life could just 'happen' all on it's own, with no guiding force behind it to drive and to preserve it? The immense variety of life dictates that there was careful thought given to what each different species would need for survival, it's placement, etc. Still, the infidel defies all reason by stating that there was and is no God. Such is the thinking of the fool.
Christopher Hitchens no doubt died a lost man. This is nothing to do with any desire of mine, simply the result of opposing the Life-Giver's invitation to life. It was a deliberate act of defiance, on Hitchens' part, no one coerced or otherwise influenced him to take the path that he chose. No doubt that he has influenced a great many to take the same path - they will all be called to account for their actions and will be forced to acknowledge that they were wrong. The penalty will be eternal separation from God and from the rest of the universe - eternal death. No, not burning forever in some pagan contrivance of punishment, only death. Extermination, with no possibility of resurrection, ever.
Of course, were it not for the fact that these infidels will be raised alive to see for themselves what it is that they fought against for all of their earthly existence, then be brought to realize what it is that they are losing, the thought of an eternity in death would not be that frightening, as that is what evolution teaches, essentially. You have one shot at life... and that's it. True enough, you have only one shot at accepting the truth as it is in Christ. If you refuse to take it, you are shit out of luck. There won't be another chance.
Still, all in all, I believe that no man can fully appreciate what the mind of God can deal out in terms of justice. Perhaps there are those that might seem to the believer to be totally out of reach of mercy, yet, the mind of God knows what we cannot - the hidden intentions and feelings and potential of every human being. Still, we cannot allow that possibility to cloud our judgment where scripture plainly reveals the requirements necessary for eternal salvation.
To every sense and perception, Christopher Hitchens went to a Godless grave, eventually to an eternal one. But, maybe his loss will serve as a warning to others tempted to take the same road as he.
