RIP HRM, The Goblin King
10 years ago
General
[From Wikipedia]
Regarding his religion, in 2005 he said, "Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always." He added that he was bothered by being "not quite an atheist".[223] In the Esquire interview "What I've Learned", he stated, "I'm in awe of the universe, but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic."
Fellow Skeptic, David Robert Jones (Bowie) died of liver cancer last night. I know 99% of us remember him from Jim Henson's Labyrinth and his own music career. Two days earlier, he released his final album, Blackstar.
As atheists, we have a sober outlook on death. It is final. It is permanent. But, it is natural. There is no real need to fear it, but knowing what we do, we are driven to do everything we can within the time we have.
Sorry for the lack of updates, and sorry for starting off the New Year on a sad note. Trapper John from MASH died at the end of 2015 too. Our nostalgic figures are dwindling. T.T

I wonder if there are people doing worth-wile, or at least memorable, things that would make then nostalgic figures when the children of today are grown.
