6/12/2023 0 Comments Hitchens on godSo what makes it different from recent atheist screeds by the likes of Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins? into one enormous argument dominated by giants in philosophy and theology and science. Do you think it’ll mean as much to others as it means to you? You say in your acknowledgments that you’ve been writing this book your whole life. He spoke to us about his favorite religious stories, Karl Rove (infidel?), and the one time he found himself praying. Hitchens, who started questioning his faith at age 9 (and wrote a polemic against Mother Teresa called The Missionary Position), has finally written the ultimate attack book, God Is Not Great. This despite the fact that he is one of the last defenders of Bush’s Iraq war-a position that has cost the former Nation contributor a multitude of friends and gotten him new ones like Paul Wolfowitz. One of the most annoying things about Christopher Hitchens is that, even at his most vitriolic, he makes at least as much sense as the majority of sober journo-intellectuals buzzing around Washington.
