Grania sent me an email (below) pointing out that my post on Hitchens’s Vulture also got onto the internet via a tw**t by Lawrence Krauss, with a reaction from Christians that, I guess, was predictable. Lawrence Krauss tweeted your article on Hitchens and while most people responding to the tweet were appreciative, these believers (they self-identify as such in their Twitter bio) are positively salivating about atheists burning in hell. I think I might go and listen to a Jeff Dee rant on hellfire.

(Jeff Dee is a long-time host/co-host of The Atheist Experience and The Non-Prophets; and frequently got irked by Christians who called into the show threatening hell. Many of them thought they were “being nice” in issuing their little caveat; and they got their butts kicked all the way to Cairo by Jeff who pointed out that there is nothing remotely polite about telling someone that they deserve to be tortured forever.)

A nice piece by @Evolutionistrue on slimy book with false claims on Hitch conversion. I have piece coming out later. https://t.co/jx6PJP9Kmx — Lawrence M. Krauss (@LKrauss1) May 15, 2016





Here are the descriptions of those lovely Christians. I find these reactions odd—and un-Christian. Any God that would send somebody to eternal flames for not believing in Him is an immoral and reprehensible God. Is there any atheist who wishes that believers should be consigned to such punishment for their ignorance?

As a palliative, here’s Jeff Dee and Matt Dillahunty taking down a Christian who claims that atheists go to hell (but God doesn’t send them there!):
