    It angers me that we still do not have the technology to save these people.

    Saw that last night. A great mind gone. He will be missed. Or burn in hell depending on who's right.

    My favorite "militant atheist" :(

    I loved his debating style and his charm, he wasn't always right ( who of us is?) and he may have been overly "anti-religious" but he was honest in his beliefs and never tried to go beyond his PERSONAL issues with religion and make it "more than that".

    Since He is dead I know this won't piss himoff so I cna say that, I pray for him and his family and pray that Our Lord keep Him and strenghten His family.

    He was a brilliant writer. Just finished a listening to a BBC radio show about him. They interviewed a bunch of people, including Blair.

    he is my favorite debator. He was suposse to debate one of my other favorite debators, James White before he got sick. Its a shame that debate will never happen. I felt like he was a refreshing no BS voice, and during news interviews, he interjected intelligence, logic, and wit where it was needed most. i think we need more people like him around, but sadly there arent many, and there wont be any like him again.

    Interesting that he chose to go to Houston for medical care rather than stay in Britain.
