An agnostic petitioning prayer for such an outspoken atheist drips of irony, but it may help....who knows? Quote: |
I have been advised by my physician that I must undergo a course of chemotherapy on my esophagus. This advice seems persuasive to me. I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice.

For those that don't know, Hitchens is a superb writer and speaker. Esophageal cancer is nasty business, but it can be beat.

I have been looking forward to it as White is one of the few guys that is a better debater than Hitchens. I wish Hitchens the best and he will be in my prayers.

|  | *******er Emeritus(does anyone remember that? No?) | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Houston, Texas | | | Hitchens is an interesting fellow. Him and I obviously have some serious differences in viewpoint (I'm a Christian after all) but he's certainly an interesting writer and I feel some of his writings are a good challenge to take on. He's also definitely less of a douchebag than Dawkins.
I wish him good health.

He usually has people admitting that they are wrong by the end of the debate, I have even seen a few where it is so bad that it is embarrassing for the other guy. Not that he is mean, he is just that good and researches for months and months before the debate. The guy reads several books a day.

No matter who would have come out on top, it would have been great to watch, because they are both very crafty with their arguments and both are brilliant.

Note, in this video you probably have to know the context of the debate to understand it, but it shows White's style.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Oak Park, MI | | | Yeah, I've always liked his writing even though I've disagreed with him on many things. He's one of the few thinkers today who doesn't blindly adopt the party line.

He definitely comes across as arrogant and abbrasive (not unlike Dawkings), that said, I wish him a thorough and swift recovery.

| | Supporting Member | | Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Vacaville, California | | | yeah I saw a couple minutes of the Anderson Cooper interview missed most of it though. He actually didn't look bad. I mean he's undergoing chemo and his hair is gone but he doesn't have any sort of wasting or gauntness to him. |
