Should we pray for Hitch? I will, in part to piss him off.
That’s what’s fucked up about it. You’re not praying because you think it’s going to legitimately do him some good, you’re praying because you see his illness as a chance to be a complete jerk? Tell me how that’s not fucked up.
And I agree with the rest of what Sully says
I don’t believe in treating the sick as suddenly tender souls who cannot enjoy humor and debate – and that would apply in truckloads for my dear friend. I’m delighted that no one ever pulls a punch with me on the grounds of chronic disease and I’m sure Hitch would feel the same way.
Absolutely, don’t pull punches, don’t be afraid of debating, and if you want to be a dick fine, but we’re gonna call you on it. And I would think that religious people would have a problem with their religion being used specifically to be a dick — oh wait, nevermind on that one. And if you feel the need to pray, fine, but what you said was
May the God he believes poisons everything be with him
DICK. And oh so guilty of being the kind of Christianist that he claims he hates.

It’s amazing how fucked up humans are; selfishness rules the world. Inane hate and contempt for something or somebody drives the mind. Why? People are pathetic. Damn the world.
