"Real" Christians don't judge people as damned. Real Christians know there is only one who can do so. We can share what the bible says about faith and salvation - and it would seem to follow that unless Christopher Hitchens had a deathbed conversion, he would appear to be damned. But there is only one who makes the judgment and knows what the judgment is, and it isn't any mortal alive. I'm unwilling to try stepping into God's shoes, and I would warn any other Christian who dares be haughty enough to presume to know the mind of God - or the heart if Christopher Hitchens as he took his last conscious breath, for that matter.
