Most guys would name a professional athlete, their father, or soldiers as their heroes. Not me. Mine is Christopher Hitchens. I have seen every debate, read every book, and watched as many news appearances I can find.
He is the only journalist to call Mother Teresa out for the monster than she was. Did you know that the Catholic Church invited Hitchens to argue against her canonization as a saint? Playing the role of devil's advocate. They offered to pay him for his time, but he didn't take it. It was his pleasure to do it. He obviously lost that one, and the church has since abolished that office/practice. Which means that he might be the only man to ever represent Satan pro bono.
