Simpson remembered the man she first learned about when she was 25, living in New York and working at a small literary magazine. A lawyer had informed her that she had a rich and famous long-lost brother.

“Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow,”

Perhaps God was saying to Jobs, "You see all these liberal causes your money supported? This is the harm they were doing..."

I think he was a Jobist.

He must have caught a glimpse of the giant IPad in the sky!

God bless you Steve, and rest your soul. On behalf of humanity, Thank You! In your death, you have become a symbol of what is right with capitalism, that real capitalists (as opposed to crony capitalists) make a lot of money only after they have created a product or service that people want, and is worth more to them than the money they give up for it. Real capitalists therefore do not need to “give back”, as they do so by just being who they are. I am not even counting all the money that Steve made his employees and his shareholders.

“He was a Buddhist.”

I don’t recall him following my ways.

Must’ve been that other Buddha.

I’m the one with a shirt.

He was a Buddhist.

which, being translated, means that because he didn't "receive Jesus Christ as his personal lord and savior" than slammed the pearly gates in his face, is that right?

ugh, no wonder fundamentalists are all miserable.

“than slammed” should be “then God slammed”, for those of you in Rio Linda.

Can one be a religious nut by being a Buddhist? Or does that only occur to Christians

I sincerely hope so. I was praying that he would turn to Christ.
