I watched a two minute video of his announcement and thought the same. I'm not judging him, it seems he has no faith.but the problem is that he is lacking faith.
Faith is necessary to do anything,
What are his considerations, from the clip the reasoning looks more like making a calculated wager on an event in complete absence of faith, not a watershed life changing moment- an epiphany, my eyes were opened, I thought I was dead and now I have life. I hope he has a change of heart and accepts God's grace in full before the curtain falls.
You do not challenge God. Let's see what happens, am I right about this, or is this God's story- these tales my Christian friends have been pestering me with- correct. Faith gives life, it's an inner fire that fills you with joy and hope, all pascal wager reasoning is discarded, it's not even a thought.
Maybe, true to his style, he's just trolling people by presenting serious subjects in a lighthearted way. I don't know what he's thinking, the way he talks about it- why not, it's free, nothing to lose. But there are other religions that promise you paradise, he's going with Jesus so I'm hopeful and prayers are warranted. It's best to depart this world as a Christian so he can't go wrong here.
