Hitchens, of course, pictured with a cigarette.
This is why I'm surprised whenever I hear about atheists who are well-adjusted and don't drink or otherwise self-medicate. I seem more like Hitchens, where I see a world that will probably destroy itself in the name of Allah, legions of women who won't have sex because they don't believe in birth control, and taboos about a lot of the things I believe in, and if I didn't know better than to drink when I'm depressed, I'd certainly be posting from the bottom of a bottle I'd hidden in my desk at work.
If I'd known the emotional toll of atheism, I perhaps would have gotten my degree in science instead of engineering.
