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.

Hamilton died Tuesday from complications from congestive heart failure at the downtown apartment he shared with his wife, his family said.

Hamilton told The Oregonian newspaper in 2007 that he had questioned the existence of God since he was a teenager, when two friends — an Episcopalian and a Catholic — died from the explosion of a pipe bomb they were building, while a third — an atheist — escaped without a scratch.

It caused him to question why the innocent suffer, and whether God intervened in people's lives, he said.

He’s already found out how wrong he was. Poor soul.

[One Name]

The obvious reply- God is alive and William Hamilton is now dead.

[lurk]

Well then.

Let’s be instructed by this, that whatever you say can and will be used against you.

[Pinkbell]

I do hope that he found God at the end of his life, even in the last moments it’s not too late.

[Revolting cat!]

I wish he (or somebody) could tell us! My dead pals, and Elvis ain’t talkin’ !

“God is dead.” - Hamilton

“Hamilton is dead.” - God

Uh, maybe because the atheist was smart enough to be far enough away from the bomb,and the Christians thought they were allowed to build bombs and ignore the laws of physics?

[miele man]

What possible “innocent” use is there for a pipe bomb?

“Theologian William Hamilton, a member of the Death of God movement of the 1960s.....”

.
What is the need of being a “theologian” when you’re convinced that God is dead?

It’s like being a congresscritter when you’re willing to give in to socialism/communism/islam like this present bunch is doing.

[ansel12]

As children, American boys used to blow things up and make bombs.

I don’t know what these guys were doing, but life used to be free and dangerous by today’s standards.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I wonder who his “friends” were. Weathermen, perhaps?

Hey Hamilton, God outlived you, you schmuck. You lose.

Fixed the headline.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

I wasn’t such a bad guy.
Like, how many times did I take the Lord’s name in vain?
Uh! A million-six?! Jesus Chr...

"he had questioned the existence of God since he was a teenager, when two friends — an Episcopalian and a Catholic — died from the explosion of a pipe bomb they were building...

Does anyone else find that ironic?
This sounds like a perfect case of intervention.

[Del Rapier]

May he rest in peace.

[CainConservative]

May he get an ice cube or two where he’s at now.

Not much you got to do in life on this world, but the people who are always making mock of Jesus, calling Him Santa, or a fantasy or similar insults. They GOT to die here.
What comes next ? Glad I'm not on that bus.
