Dumb as a Rock

This article in the Independent writes of Peter Hitchens that he "question[s] whether [his brother] Christopher truly believe[s] his own assertion that there isn't a God," and quotes Peter's reasoning as follows:

There is always, in the atheistical struggle with God, the fight against temptation. If it didn't matter to you, why write a book about how wrong it is? The first person you have to convince with any book you write, is yourself. If you didn't need convincing... why go to all those lengths?

Shorter, logically formalized Peter Hitchens, then:

For any proposition p, and for any agent A: If A argues that p, then A believes that not-p.

Such a universal disproof will undoubtedly prove useful. No it won't. Yes it will. No it won't.
