It was almost as if he operated on another level amongst the masses with very few (Dawkins, Hawking) remotely close. The guy belonged to another class with Socrates and Plato. I was just reviewing his work and it's astounding.

Possibly. If not, he certainly came across as such.

on some things, yes. his political views are a little ehhh

one of my favorite writers, though. he had an eloquence and beauty to his writing that I haven't seen matched. he sounded extremely intelligent without being gratuitously verbose. even if you disagreed with him, you appreciated his argumentation

he could put smackdowns on people like no other

I wonder if he was deliberately sent to confuse the point regarding Orwell

I'm glad he is dead. I hope it was painful.

It's amazing how an intellectual atheist can make you all abandon the love of Jesus so quickly. He owned you in life and death.

I hate him mainly for his attacks on Mother Teresa. I also hate him for being a Marxist and specifically his view on libertarianism.

What part of him being a moron do you not understand? The man was a simpleton who would have been laughed at by the "intellectual atheists" who came before him.
