It’s telling that Christopher Hitchens spat his dying venom…

…at Chesterton, whose greatness is undiminished by Hitchen’s dim, dumb resort to Godwin’s Law.

Elsewhere, Innocent Smith also does an even better autopsy on Hitchens’ last essay:

Hitchens remained, to the end, unable to see, let alone acknowledge, let alone refute, genuine alternatives to his own worldview. For all his literary brilliance, Hitchens retained up to the end the small-mindedness of the fundamentalists he abhorred and failed to truly grapple with the subtlety and sophistication of Chesterton’s Catholicism.

Scratch a New Atheist, find a fundamentalist.
