It is true that virtually all of his predictions were wrong. But he was right about one thing: his death was unavoidable. And now he will forever “get the hell away from Black people”, following his own advice. You gotta hand it to him, he did what he said he would, eventually, if you squint. Though, his last-minute conversion to Christianity might subvert even that.

he wasn't Christian? Not that would make a difference in the afterlife.

In the linked video, his final message states that he converted due to the cost-benefit ratio and also to satisfy his Christian friends.

It's so funny when militant atheists find religion when they get old and actually start thinking about death.

Im a militant atheist who can't stop thinking about death. Too bad the terror of the unknowable void isn't going to make me believe in shit I know isn't real

Im a militant atheist

No such thing, just admit you're an anti-theist pls. You cant be militantly indifferent to something lol

You certainly can militantly oppose belief in the supernatural. Atheism doesn't mean indifference, it describes a lack of belief in any god. How strongly one feels about atheism isn't contained within the word atheism.

Anyway it's splitting hairs because anti-theism is good and correct

The prefix A is indifference and the prefix anti is opposition. And if yall cant even care to be literate enough to articulate the position you think you hold, maybe rethink what you think you know. Its like the difference between asocial and antisocial. It makes no sense to say you are militantly asocial. No sense. But what do i expect? Westerners can't read. Like western religions are pretty awful, but westerners act like they know everything while famously knowing nothing.

The term atheist has evolved beyond the roots of its components. It absolutely does not mean "indifferent to the idea of whether there is a god." Linguistic prescriptivism is reactionary and cringe.

In real life, the difference between atheist and antitheist is "I don't believe there is a god" and "I believe it's bad for you to believe there is a god" which, again, are both correct positions
