To the dumb question 'Why me?' the cosmos barely bothers to return the reply: Why not?

There needs to be a #DavidGraeber tag and there needs to be a #ChristopherHitchens tag, and they need to argue with each other.
Useless quote for 9 Feb:
"… from Ford to Hughes to Iacocca and Trump and the other tycoon redeemers, we have an exact demonstration that nobody is more covetous and greedy than those who have far too much."
~ Christopher Hitchens, in "Billionaire Populism", The Nation July 1992; reprinted in "For the Sake of Argument: Essays and minority reports" (Verso, 1993)
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
-- Christopher Hitchens ( Hitchen's Razor)

1. The Missionary Position - Christopher Hitchens
Among his many books, perhaps none have sparked more outrage than The Missionary Position, Christopher Hitchens’s meticulous study of the life and deeds of Mother Teresa.
A Nobel Peace Prize recipient beatified by the Catholic Church in 2003, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was celebrated by heads of state and adored by millions for her work on behalf of the poor. In his measured critique, Hitchens asks only that Mother Teresa’s reputation be judged by her actions-not the other way around.
With characteristic élan and rhetorical dexterity, Hitchens eviscerates the fawning cult of Teresa, recasting the Albanian missionary as a spurious, despotic, and megalomaniacal operative of the wealthy who long opposed measures to end poverty, and fraternized, for financial gain, with tyrants and white-collar criminals throughout the world.

Jensen quotes a couple of #ChristopherHitchens's bons mots approvingly. But the Harold Wilson remark is a straight lift from Macbeth, and the matchbox gag is a very old joke, most often told about Texans.
This might be the most special gift I've ever received.
I grew up in an Irish Catholic home, and was sent to Catholic school from K-12. Despite all their efforts, I never really believed.
I announced my Atheism around age 18, which didn't go well. My mom even insulted my intelligence - the only hurtful thing I've ever heard her utter.
The following Christmas, my father gave me this. A book to all, but to me it was also an acceptance of who I am. #religion #atheism #ChristopherHitchens
