R.I.P. Scott Adams, 68
-
Scott always tried to be useful to people.

He died after a battle with prostate cancer that he hid as much as possible until his final months.
He is known for many books, both Dilbert cartoon collections and self-help books.
Some insisted he was "conservative" but Scott always self-identified as a helper, cartoonist, and classic liberal.

"A final message from Scott Adams"
tldr;
-
While an atheist, Scott says if Jesus is Lord in fact, then Scott has no problems accepting Him
-
"Be useful"
-
-
He will be missed.

@blablarg18 That's quite the "sinner's prayer" and about as theologically deep as a lot of Christians seem to take theirs.
-
@justatest90-0 He was an atheist, just not militant.
I followed some of his recent commentary. He calculated risk-reward.
He thought his friends in Christian world would have trouble with his death, if he didn't convert. He wanted to help them. (He was that kind of guy.)
He thought, ok but what can I say honestly? If there is no afterlife, it won't matter what I said. If there is an afterlife, headed by Jesus, I'm fine with it & everyone will be better off if I say it.
