To a Christian who insisted that God had given him "throat" cancer in
order to punish the "one part of his body he used for blasphemy", he
replied: "My so-far uncancerous throat . . . is not at all the only
organ with which I have blasphemed." And to those who insultingly
suggested that he should embrace religion, Hitchens's flawless
riposte: "Suppose there were groups of secularists at hospitals who
went round the terminally ill and urged them to adopt atheism: 'Don't
be a mug all your life. Make your last days the best ones.' People
might suppose this was in poor taste."
