Christopher Hitchens is no longer an atheist. Richard Dawkins now believes in God.

By now we all know of the tragic death of the likeable Christopher Hitchens.  It is a sad day for those who were close to him, and our thoughts and prayers will be with them.

There are two ways you and I can meet God.  The first is to repent and trust alone in Jesus.  The second way is to wait until you pass on.  The old adage of death “He went to meet his Maker” is true.

On hearing of Mr. Hitchens passing, Richard Dawkins sent out a tweet acknowledging that God exists:

“Christopher Hitchens, finest orator of our time, fellow horseman, valiant fighter against all tyrants including God.”

Of course, none of us know what Mr. Hitchens did in his last moments of time.  He may have turned from his sins and trusted in Jesus.  God only knows. 

Whatever the case, never forget that acknowledging the existence of God doesn’t mean an entrance into Heaven, but (as the Bible so clearly teaches), repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, does.

Richard Dawkins Mocks Author's Spelling

In the ongoing battle of words between professor Richard Dawkins and evangelist Ray Comfort, the Oxford University professor has produced a video mocking the spelling ability of the best-selling author of more than 70 books. The war of words is nothing new between the two. Dawkins once called Comfort an "idiot" on CNN, for which CNN quickly apologized.

In this video, he mocks Comfort for his spelling of the word "thought" as "thort": http://youtu.be/HWIrnZizF7Y. Comfort responded, "Whether the learned professor likes it or not, the English language is evolving and some of us old fossils need to evolve with it. Texting is changing the way we spell. I'm delighted that I was able to catch the wave of social media, a wave it seems Mr. Dawkins missed."

In reference to the texting generation Comfort said, "Horrific though it may be to a cultured English-speaking professor, words like 'thought,' with its superfluous 'ugh,' give way to the expediency of words like 'thort,' and for the millions who have to learn the complexities of the English language, it's about time."

Comfort added that this was just another example of Professor Dawkins mocking something he doesn't understand. "But in his attempt at mockery, he has not only made himself look old-fashioned, but he has promoted '180' throughout the atheist world. The 'pope' of atheism waved my movie from his balcony. You can't buy such publicity. I'm grateful that he's helping others around the world to watch the video and hear the gospel."

Comfort is the creator of www.180movie.com.  His 33-minute award-winning movie went viral and received over one million views within 22 days of being placed on YouTube. When a family said that they would be seeing Richard Dawkins, they requested that Comfort write a personal note on the cover of a DVD version, and they would get it into his hands.
