If one listens to him long enough it becomes obvious that he's a learned, bright, articulate, acerbically witty atheist, and very troubled guy, and if one is a Christian who truly believes our battles are not against flesh and blood, it's also obvious who he presently is a tool of ... i don't like athiest, and often have to be reminded by Holy Spirit that my reaction to them has to be the same as with any other sinner: Hate the sin, but love the sinner - and so i pray for Mr. Hitchens that if it be His will that He save him, and make him a testimony to Christ instead of an enemy (tho Mr. Hitchen's is equally opposed to Yahweh (Judaism), Jesus Christ (Christianity) & Allah (Islam) ...
i watched him this Sunday past on a three hour interview on ...

... i was struck that his mother committed suicide when he was 24, that he's also prone to drink, and it made me wonder what other pain he might be dealing with that has him so apparently angry with God ... Then i found out that on 4/07 he'd become a citizen of the U.S. and that just turned me off, because it made me think of our own home grown atheist ...

... and what she accomplished in the 60's while U.S. Christians snoozed, and it made me think, "Lord, who sent him, and why is he here"? ...
It seemed to me that an atheist of Hitchens caliber would be much happier in his more secular place of birth, than he would be here in the hypocritical (at least still having a form of Godly devotion) U.S. ... i try my best to keep my Christianity above nationalism but i care deeply about the spiritual well being of America, and truth be told it irked me everytime he refered to the U.S. as his country (tho i know this would cease as soon as he got saved) ... As far as i'm concerned, Lord knows, we don't need anymore unGodly influences in the U.S. above and beyond what we already have, and tho it may seem like there's nothing i can do about this - i CAN PRAY! ...
Madalyn Murray O'Hair wound up being brutally murdered, but her sinister work was already done, and tho her son whom she used in her atheistic activity eventually became a Christian - she didn't ... And so i am asking our Lord if it be His will, to have mercy on Mr. Hitchens and save him to His ultimate glory, thereby cancelling out any additional havoc the devil could further use him toward in emboldening and misleading others here in the U.S. ... i was struck by how many U.S. callers phoned him for advice as to how to further the atheist cause here in the States ...
For any of you who disagree that prayer warfare for this mans soul, and subsequent others he will be used as a tool to mislead, is not the thing to do ... THEN DON'T PRAY ... For those of you who might see prayer as a pre-emptive strike in this regard then PLEASE PRAY!!! ...
My spiritual spider-senses tell me that other than being saved Mr. Hitchens is a dangerous man, and it's no accident that he has switched countries, and we already have record of what unchecked atheist can accomplish here in the States ...

Blessings in the beloved name of our Lord Jesus Christ ...
PS - One of Mr. Hitchen's observations is man created God to worship, instead of vice-versa ... He's a writer himself and i wonder how in the world he figures that an array of men over some1,600 years was able to put together the Bible, and carry it's cohesive theme from Genesis to The Revelation with the ability to cross reference it back and forth over centuries? ...
