TAUNTON'S BETRAYAL OF FRIENDSHIP AS A MISSIONARY EXERCISE
Seldom do I read a book that angers me. Books that support my own understanding of a subject I read with a critical eye, searching for flaws in the logic that I might have fallen for, and which knowing, might change my thinking. Those that I read that would challenge my view I read with a clear eye, searching for evidence that may be right and that likewise, I might glean new valid new information which would lead to another change of mind. It is rare that anger arises in me at this checking exercise. I have read most of the works of the late Christopher Hitchens, once the world's most persuasive and persistent atheist, because his logic was nearly infallible, and his rhetoric is fashioned of gold. Having never met the man, I was struck with sadness, as if he were one of my own family, ... Seldom do I read a book that angers me. Books that support my own understanding of a subject I read with a critical eye, searching for flaws in the logic that I might have fallen for, and which knowing, might change my thinking. Those that I read that would challenge my view I read with a clear eye, searching for evidence that may be right and that likewise, I might glean new valid new information which would lead to another change of mind. It is rare that anger arises in me at this checking exercise. I have read most of the works of the late Christopher Hitchens, once the world's most persuasive and persistent atheist, because his logic was nearly infallible, and his rhetoric is fashioned of gold. Having never met the man, I was struck with sadness, as if he were one of my own family, when it was announced that he was suffering from incurable esophageal cancer. Some Christians celebrated that this enemy of religion, whose dulcet tones and steely logic had for decades, revealed organized religion as a scam, was suffering the wrath of god by having his larynx rot away. Christians prayed that either he would die soon or that he would be cured by the power of god so he could be converted to Christianity. Hitchen, having no faith in prayer, thanked those who wished him well with their prayers, but wished they would use their energies for more effective activities. A fellow atheist philosopher, Daniel Dennett, when it had a heart attack, answered those who prayed for him with the quick quip: "Did you also sacrifice a goat in my behalf?" When Darwin died in 1882, it was known that he remained an atheist to his dying breath. In 1915, Elizabeth Cotton claimed falsely that he had converted to Christianity on his deathbed. His children, who were there at the time of his demise, countered that claim. Many other freethinkers were postumously maligned in this way over the years. Would some Christian rascal rise to claim a similar lie for Christopher Hitchens? I picked up "The Faith of Christopher Hitchens" by Larry Alex Taunton, to see what his claim was. I read all 200 pages of his claim that Hitchen was "negotiating with god" privately as the disease slowing took his life. Using suppositions he picked up on various trips to debates together, Taunton claims to have a special insight into Christopher's state of mind, and the underlying meaning of his every word in those last days of his life. Without the thinnest proof, he tries to twist Hitchen's friendship with him to mean he was contemplating conversion to Christianity, even when he was stating the exact opposite in public discourse. This is a shameful betraying of personally tolerant banter on the road to Billings and other places for competitive debate. Taunton admits that Hitchens studied his opponent’s line of logic and thinking, in order to best them by dissecting flaws in argument. But then he turns in an attempt to convince us that their personal discussions about the biblical book of John were intriguing and curious studies with a desire to believe in Christianity for Hitchens. Taunton is a traitor to friendship, and, like the traitor he is, waited five years to publish his misleading polemic claim. Like Elizabeth Cotton, he has made his thesis out of whole cloth, but unlike Cotton, he as been smarmy and creepy about it, admitting that Hitchen's statements are damning to his thesis, but claiming they are full of "hints" of conversion. This is a despicable argument that Hitchens, if he could, would decry mightily. My anger is kindled.
