A popular Finnish discussion board has a section for atheism.

It sometimes seems that most messages are from proselytizing and/or abusive Christians, but there are some resilient atheists who keep coming back and sometimes manage to have thoughtful and enjoyable discussions. These are quotes from a thread about what people would like to say to Christopher Hitchens:
I'm always inspired by your intelligence, humour, the vastness and depth of your knowledge, your courage and integrity.

I hope you die slowly and f*ing burn in Hell you damned blasphemer! And you should realize that your entire life has been a delusion and that right now your destiny is all f*ed up, f*ing atheist!!! .... Oh sorry that was for Mr. Dawkins... I hope You overcome that nasty disease God has made people suffer from!

I particulary liked one passage in your book God is not Great:
"There is a central paradox at the core of religion. The three great monotheisms teach people to think abjectly of themselves, as miserable and guilty sinners prostrate before an angry and jealous god who, according to discrepant accounts, fashioned them either out of dust and clay or a clot of blood. The positions for prayer are usually emulations of the supplicant serf before an ill-tempered monarch. The message is one of continual submission, gratitude, and fear. Life itself is a poor thing: an interval in which to prepare for the hereafter or the coming—or second coming—of the Messiah.
On the other hand, and as if by way of compensation, religion teaches people to be extremely self-centered and conceited. It assures them that god cares for them individually, and it claims that the cosmos was created with them specifically in mind. This explains the supercilious expression on the faces of those who practice religion ostentatiously: pray excuse my modesty and humility but I happen to be busy on an errand for god."
Thank you for the book, I hope you get better. Sincerely, someone from Turku

You have been a great inspiration for me in becoming an atheist. Humankind needs more people like you. Get well soon.

I hope that you will get better and write more great books.

Hello Mr. Hitchens,
A couple of years back when I started watching clips of your speeches and discussions in YouTube, I was first sad for your task fighting against the religious stupidity. I felt you were putting too much effort on something we all should be working on. But then I realised that you actually enjoy all that wrestling. Your way of handling the debate with sheer irony has been a great inspiration for me ever since. Many thanks for that.
I wish you are able to keep the good spirit during the hard times while getting rid of the cancer.

Keep up!

Dear Mr.Hitchens. I wish you all the best in your fight with your health.
It was nothing short of amazing how your writings resonated with my thoughts. I hadn't (still cannot) portray them as strong and eloquently as you have written them. I am utterly glad that you have been like a beacon of light in the world of religious darkness. I'm sure that you have inspired countless of us in coming out of closet and to be unbelievers proudly. Thank you.

Hienoa! :)
Kiitos vaivannäöstä
Elääkö hän vielä?
Et malta odottaa, että hän kuolee? Aiotko sitten levittää valheita hänen viime hetken uskoontulosta, vai mikä kiire sinulla on?
vakavasti sairas voi kuolema tulla hyvinkin yllättäen. Hänen uskoontulonsa on hänen ja Jumalan välinen asia. Mikäli niin kävisi, miksi ei asiasta piäisi sitten kertoa.

''Mikäli niin kävisi, miksi ei asiasta piäisi sitten kertoa. ''
Joillakin ''Totuutta'' rakastavilla on tapana valehdella sellaisista asioista.
Ja hän väittäisi että on joutununt kääntämään kelkkansa viimemetreillään. Ei se olis silloin valhetta. Taidat jo hieman pelätä että niin käy?
Jos joku väittää, että olen kuolemaisillani rukoillut, älkää uskoko.

Minun puolestani hän saa mennä helvettiin. On sitten yksi ateisti joukostanne pois. Minulla on sellainen tunne, että hän ei enää viesteihinne vastaa.
"Minun puolestani hän saa mennä helvettiin. On sitten yksi ateisti joukostanne pois. Minulla on sellainen tunne, että hän ei enää viesteihinne vastaa."
Mikään ei todistettavasti ole niin vittumainen otus kuin hellari.
En pelkää, koska sillä ei olisi mitään merkitystä. Se ei kuitenkaan olisi mikään yllätys, jos joku lahko valehtelisi asiasta.
edes katsonut sitä. Kunhan äkkiä toivoit miehelle ikuista kärsimystä. Mikään ei ole niin kusipää kuin uskis.
Toivottavasti hän lukee sen, ja miksipä ei lukisi.
Oikein hyvää työtä,kekseliästä etten sanoisi,kiitos.
Osaan minäkin jonkin verran englantia. Ja ymmärtäähän viisas mies puutteelistakin kieltä.
Siinä puhaa viikonlopuksi.
ja sitten odotellaan vastausta.
Eikös Hitchcock ole kuollut?
Jopa hän vielä jaksaa lukea. Tietenkin viestini oli evankelioiva ja rohkaiseva.
Nyt saitte sitten paremman mielen kun palvomaanne miestä muistatte,tuohan ovat ilmiselvästi ateistin rukous;)
Kuin niin?
syövän kourissa. En todella kadehdi ateistia tuossa tilanteessa. Ei se helppoa ole ukosvaisellekaan, mutta kuitenkin tietää pian pääsevänä kotiin ja varmaan jopa odottaa lähtöä.
On varmasti kurja riutua syövän kourissa ihmisenä, varmasti moni odottaa maahanpääsyä loppumetreillä.
ei varmaan olekaan helppoa, kun ei tiedä joutuuko helvettiin, jos on pierassut väärässä paikassa. Kuten sanotaan, että jos on jumalanpalveluksessa eli kirkonmenoissa päästänyt kirkkotuhnun, niin sitä ei jumala kuulemma hyvällä katso. Varo vaan hanuri-hanna, voit päätyä helvettiin grillivartaaseen.
