Treating faith like a contractual deal "I’ll recite the magic words if it gets me a ticket to heaven" is spiritual poison. The Scriptures are brutally direct: salvation demands more than lip-service; it demands heart-level conviction. Romans 10:9 demands both the confession *and* the belief.

I earnestly hope and pray that Scott settled the issue, took hold of Christ in genuine repentance, and faced the Throne clothed in something more solid than cold reasoned calculation and cost benefit analysis.

So he had an extra half year to think. Looks like he haven't used it well.

Scott Adams could have kept his mouth shut in 2015, kept those lavish corporate speaking gigs where he'd earn 50-100K per talk, and have died with an extra zero or two in his bank account. Instead he chose courage and died surrounded by the love of tens-of-millions.

Hard for people to appreciate how much money Scott Adams lost. He was living the dream. Dilbert cash. VC deal flow. Cash flow like crazy for speaking gigs where big companies fly you first class, pay you big checks for a lunchtime time. He lost that, and gained being a legend.

^That part about him forgoing money for his political opinions is a bit overstated, he already had FU money, mid eight figures. For someone like him it was more about the impact on his social network, being in the SF Bay Area.

Cernovic being the drama queen he likes to be while he also already has FU money.

What does it matter if you have 50 or 500 million the guy was already loaded and he still died too young. He did fall for the poke now didn't he?

Good take by @PurpleUrkel

RIP Scott Adams and God bless your soul.

Pretty much. To me he was a stereotypical boomer - never really able to grab the third rail.
