If there is such a thing as a atheist "Jesus" for me Hitch is him. He has given me inspiration and opened me eyes. It is to him that I owe many of my arguments against religion. I can listen to him speak all day, his voice being soothing and deliberate. It is a shame this his time is near, and a bigger shame that I may never meet the man that has given me so much. His candle burned quickly, but what brilliant light it was!
Could you maybe still talk about him in the present tense? He's still shining brightly, and not going gentle into that good night. A shooting star that we can still see in the night's sky.
