R.I.P., Christopher Hitchens, April 13, 1949 – December 15, 2011

Believers and nonbelievers both have at least one thing in common: We all feel there’s something broken, something wrong with the world. We may disagree on what that brokenness is, but bickering over that makes no difference in changing or helping what is really broken. It just makes us feel better about our own position.
There are brilliant minds, pure hearts, and strong hands in every camp.
It’s high time we agnostics, atheists and believers work together to address the very real brokenness that is, for instance, poverty and hunger throughout the world.
That is all.
