    I found out about this because Hitchens mentions it in his Vanity Fair article this month. Today is the day, and Hitchens could use healing, so say a prayer for him today.

    I gotta say, while he puts it in a douchey way, I agree with Hitchens.

    Behind this petty feud is the illness of a very interesting and intelligent man.

    Yes, having taken the time to watch the video, I retract my kneejerk reaction to past interviews by the man.

    He is certainly an interesting figure.

    I wish him all the best in health, life, and whatever it may consist of, beyond.

    Great interview. Most of it was really just two guys talking and was interesting to watch.

    Agreed and its made better by the fact that both people in the interview can connect to each other. A lot of discussions of death and suffering become so vapid when the interviewer just has no connection to the discussion, so that was nice.

    Mocking someone's terminal illness to score points for your religious beliefs under the guise that you actually give a s**t about that person is probably one of the most petty things I've ever heard.

    Wasn't he the same highly irascible dude who showed up drunk on Maher and was giving the audience the 1 fingered salute?

    and, in all likelihood, someone who is loved by someone and will be deeply missed if he doesn't make it.

    This (but with a blank to include EVERYTHING) and being able to escape any type of conversation/argument with the word "Faith" is the 2 biggest perks of Religion.
