Hmm. With that sentence structure, it might be a good idea to include Irwin Schroedinger.


How's this:

"The list of smart atheists, encompassing both living atheists and dead atheists, includes both Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking."

Einstein was, and Hawking is, an atheist.

"Amongst the smart atheists, encompassing both living atheists and dead atheists, are such diverse elements as Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Fear, Surprise, Ruthless Efficiency, An Almost Fanatical Devotion To The Pope and... "


I'll come in again.

I take it from your use of the past tense that Einstein ceased to be an atheist. Did this cessation occur due to death or due to a conscious choice while alive? And if the former, do you mean that he ceased to be an atheist only in the sense that he ceased to be anything at all (ie he died), or do you mean upon dying he became, in an afterlife, a theist?

Clarity is so important

Later on we can tackle the question of whether you've made a decision.

When he died and his immortal soul was hauled up before our Lord and Savior, he awoke from the error of his ways, and is no longer an atheist.

So...both.

Rush? Isn't he that hate-radio guy?

[gamerunknown]

I hear his hate radio show is tolerable while reading Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Totally syncs up in fact...

So if DT is a cowardly little weasel for this type of behaviour, what would we call someone who does the same sort of thing in GQ?
