From ABC news:
"Hitchens became the public face of atheism. Critics assumed his cancer diagnosis, in 2010, would lead Hitchens to relent and embrace God. But he remained a proud non-believer to the very end, as he made clear in an early October 2011 speech at the annual Atheist Alliance of America convention in Houston, as he accepted the Freethinker of the Year Award. His body gaunt from the ravages of cancer, Hitchens said, "We have the same job we always had: to say that there are no final solutions; there is no absolute truth; there is no supreme leader; there is no totalitarian solution that says if you would just give up your freedom of inquiry, if you would just give up, if you would simply abandon your critical faculties, the world of idiotic bliss can be yours."
Even after throat cancer, the man refused to repent. God gave the man every opportunity to repent and he refused. Now he is suffering the consequences. He traded 62 years of boasting for a lost eternity in outer darkness. What a fool! 62 years to beat your chest in defiance to God has now gotten him a first class ticket to the depths of darkness. And in 2 weeks nobody will even care. God will still be on the throne, life on earth will still be marching towards it's ultimate end, all while he is in the pit with no chance of getting out. Pride leads to destruction and his soul is paying that eternal price as we speak.
