This guy was a very nice person but I always watched the people who tried to turn his belief system around and save him. He enjoyed the argument and battle. He loved to see people squirm.
Fast forward about 20 years. Frank ended up in Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan with an inoperable Brain Tumor. Hours away from his death he summoned
a priest and covered his bet so to speak by accepting a Higher Power. I wasn't there but got the story from some very close friends who were on the scene.
The moral of his story and anyone else with conflicting beliefs to my own is that I don't care. People wanting to change other peoples religious beliefs have and still do
cause conflicts all over the world. If you are comfortable with your views, good for you.

Exactly. I'm still trying to figure out why someone wants to bring their religious, or non-religious beliefs to a public forum like this, unless they're looking for attention or to just stir the pot..
