When I was young, I saw the cover of that Time Magazine and being the malicious little smart alec cretin that I was, told my deeply religious grandmother that God is dead, it said so in Time Magazine. She cried that I would say such a thing. It was my first real inkling that major magazines and newspapers could outright lie about important things after she had a little talk with me about it. So that whole “movement” is burned pretty well into my brain as a memory. My grandmother would of been pleased at some level, that while God still lives one of the idiots that promoted that trash is dead.

Be Nice!

He raised a very nice daughter, who is my next door neighbor. They are possibly the best neighbors in the world.

A deep explosion shattered the afternoon quiet. Young Bill Hamilton looked up the street to see smoke pouring from his friend's house. He raced to the yard as police, parents and firemen appeared within minutes.

His teenage friends had been building pipe bombs. One, an Episcopalian boy, was dead. Another, a Catholic, lay on the grass fatally injured. And the third, the son of an atheist, emerged without a scratch.

How, he wondered, could a just God allow this? Why do the innocent suffer? Does God intervene in human lives?

Theologian William Hamilton, a member of the Death of God movement of the 1960s that reached its peak with a Time Magazine cover story, has died in Portland, Ore. He was 87.

Theologian? You gotta be kidding me? He must have been a theologian for the church of Satan!

"The fool has said in his heart, there is no God!"

"At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."

I think in the split second that he passed into eternity and woke up in Hell, he realized how dead wrong he was. "Where the worm never dies and the fire is never quenched."

Unless Hamilton was born of the Spirit, he’s been dead for years. Now he knows.
