Christopher Hitchens, R.I.P.

"Christopher Hitchens was baptized in his infancy," Douglas Wilson writes,

and his name means "Christ-bearer." This created an enormous burden that he tried to shake off his entire life. No creature can ever succeed in doing this. But sometimes, in the kindness of God, such failures can have a gracious twist at the end. We therefore commend Christopher to the Judge of the whole earth, who will certainly do right.
