Come on, Lazy. You do realize you're asking a zealot to exhibit even a trace of humanity. It ain't gonna happen. On behalf of reasonable zealots everywhere, I take offense to this statement. Out of respect for Mr. Hitchens' wishes, I will not actively pray for him. But it's not possible for me to not hope that G-d helps him recover - to me, it's part and parcel of hoping that he recovers at all.

While I don't agree with all that Hitchens has espoused over the years, it's his choice what he believes or doesn't believe.
That being said, I hope he somehow gets better, as I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone.

I wish cancer on a lot of people, what you'll never hear me wish on someone is pregnancy. At least cancer has the decency to kill you.

The only person I can definitely say I would wish cancer on is Fred Phelps.

Regardless of my desire to see Fred Phelps dead and piss on his grave, I wouldn't wish cancer on him. Other stuff, sure, but cancer just goes a tad too far for my tastes.

Or I could be wrong, I don't know.

There's this For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it. -Matthew 19:12 But also this. No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord. -Deuteronomy 23:1 Which doesn't imply sin, since women on their periods also weren't allowed in the temple.

Great, now I'm sitting here with a mental image of penis checks being conducted in bronze age temples.

I like the King James version for its phrasing: "no man who is injured in the stones or hath his privy member removed" or something like that. Like a lot of the Old Testament it was a fuck you by the Hebrews to their neighbours, many of whom involved eunuchs in their rituals.
