God will get the last word on this one. Hitchens, justifying his life of sin to himself, has an ego a mile wide. His will, his way. He thinks he has the right to do whatever he pleases. He is trotting out his illness in national forums to stick it to God one last time. Well, when he is judged he won't have any excuse. God has been trying to save him and Chris has rejected that help, even belittled and made fun of it. Even being a loudmouthed arrogant braggart with delusions of grandeur, who has made a career teaching others to sin, God shows him mercy. The whole thing is just heartbreaking to me. I pray he wakes up and finds the truth before its too late.


so shiny puts forth a comment.
a comment based upon his/her religion concerning sin-repentance-absolution in regards to hitchens possible judgment.
and what does he/she get for his comment?
name-calling and disdain.
way to keep it classy guys.
do you KNOW shiny?
maybe he/she is a great person.spending time with the dying in their time of need or donates to local charities.
or maybe he/she is part of fred phelps "god hates fags" group.
i dont know and neither do you.
and to base a personal judgment on a comment is the height of presumption.

you can disagree with his ideology which is obviously based in dogma but to jump to conclusions based on so little and with such self righteous vigor is shameful.
might i suggest that you check yourselves before you begin to resemble the very thing i see so many of you admonish time and time again concerning religious hypocrisy.

Ah. Can I just say I meant to downvote this ridiculous comment. But I'm half asleep and have toothache. Boy do I have toothache.

Typical holier-than-thou, false dichotomy schlock. Go sell crazy somewhere else. We're full up here.

hehe.. who can't relate to that? great heartbreak soundtrack.

Just last week I had an oral exam about the first Christchurch earthquake and discussed it with my Kiwi lecturer; one point being that the first earthquake had luckily been during the night, and not during the day when people agglomerate in higher rising buildings in larger numbers. And now this...

I haven't been able to get your comment out of my mind.

If you stopped watching at 38 seconds, you have missed Seth writing -- make my school pay for this.

As horrifying and heartbreaking as this whole thing is, Seth's mom is doing just what Seth wanted. In a way he never could have imagined, I am sure.

As an antidote, have you watched this It Gets Better video? It has a happy ending. Honest.

It has a puppy in it. And love.

Thirty-eight seconds in and it's way to hard to watch.

Dan Savage has spoken repeatedly to this point, which has been brought up a lot in response to the It Gets Better Project.

If you are funny looking, or speak differently, you most likely go home to a supportive environment. Gay teens are more likely to be thrown out of the house, or more heartbreakingly, run away from home because they fear their parents' reaction. And certainly you never go to church and get told that you are sinning just for being yourself.

If you have red hair or a lisp, you don't face that kind of systemic bullying.

Gay bullying can be familial, societal, religious. Hence a suicide rate that is 4-6 times higher than teens in general.

And hence this particular It Gets Better Project.

So that is why isn't more encompassing. All folks who get bullied can take comfort from these videos -- after all, it will get better for them, too, when they get out of high school.

If you have three minutes, watch this short It Gets Better video.

It illustrates what Dan Savage means about family life. It has a happy ending though. Thank goodness.

This is entirely, and completely fucked up, and should never happen. But it is a little off that there is this campaign against anti gay bullying/bashing, when it should be anti bullying/bashing for any reason.
Do people who get bullied for being funny looking, or speaking differently, or just being 'different' get less support than someone who is gay?
I'm not suggesting that it isn't true that gays get bullied a lot more than non gays, but really shouldn't it be more encompassing?
