Christopher Hitchens continues to document his battle with esophagus cancer over at Vanity Fair. This current essay reflects on what it’s like to be an atheist on your possible deathbed. Hitchens addresses those believers who are 1)praying for him to get better, and 2) praying for him to suffer a horrible death.

Read the whole thing. Hitchens is the man, and, as an atheist myself, I don’t pray, but I will be hoping with all I have that he pulls through this so he can continue to sock it to some of these crazy believers.
