Hitchens at his best
I know lots of people take issue with the style of Christopher Hitchens. I don’t agree with him on every issue, and I think his style can sometimes take away the power of his arguments. However, there is one thing that Hitchens is dead on almost every time: religion. His book, The Missionary Position, which revealed to me more filth and evil about Mother Theresa than I ever imagined, is possibly his best work. When I had him, in obvious sarcasm, sign a picture of Mother Theresa for my wife, he gleefully called Mother Theresa a “fucking cunt”.
Here are some links to transcripts, where Hitchens obliterates Jerry Falwell. Must reads.
Anderson Cooper 360 (quarter way down the page)
Update: I made it clearer that Hitchens was calling Mother Theresa a cunt, and not my wife.

he gleefully called her a “fucking cunt”.
Just to specify, he meant Mama T, not me. At least I hope not.
