Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert passed away today. Leading up to his death Scott, an atheist, made a pretty profound statement:
“If my Christian friends and Christian followers, say to me, Scott, you still have time? You should convert to Christianity. And I usually just let that sit because that's not an argument I want to have. �Um, I've now been a believer. And, uh, but I also have respect for a Christian who goes out of the way to try to convert me, because how would I believe you believe your own religion if you're not trying to convert me?
�So I have great respect for people who care enough. that they want me to convert, uh, and then go out of their way to try to convince me. So, you're going to hear it for the first time today that it is my plan to convert.
�So I still have time. But my understanding is, you're never too late. And on top of that, I think, this skepticism I have about reality would certainly be instantly answered if I wake up in heaven. Um, I do believe that the dominant Christian theory is that I was powered by that would happen. if I have a good life. You know, I don't necessarily have to, you know, just state something in advance.
�And so, Goodbye, Christian friends. Yes. it’s coming. So you don't need to talk me into it. �I am now convinced that the risk reward is completely smart. If it turns out that there's nothing there, I've lost nothing. But I've respected your wishes, and I like doing that. �If it turns out there is something there, and the Christian model is the closest to it, I win! So, with your permission, uh, I promise you that, uh, I will, I will report.”
