No-show Professor had excuse: He died in April

A silly thing to say in general, but to me it sounds condescending to say to someone who seems to be at a point in his life when is trying to figure himself out. I don't think you meant it that way, but it could be taken that way. I would also like to point out that his signature doesn't mention God. We can only guess what his beliefs are until he actually tells us.

Personally, I went through that, except that it was my brain that told me that God existed and my heart told me I couldn't be sure (in my case, my brain won and my heart followed :smile. It wasn't fun to hear atheists tell me I was dumb, ignorant, inferior etc. for not eagerly stepping into their line of drones, nor was it fun to hear the religious tell me that I was going to be burned for all eternity for not eagerly stepping into their line of drones.

Anyway- I believe that not only is it the healthy thing to do, but the moral thing to do for one to deeply examine what and why one believes what one does. How you think affects how you treat people and therefore has a very profound affect on other people's lives. It isn't something to be taken lightly.

 

It sounded like the appropriate people at the school knew about it but simply forgot to inform the students.

I know you meant no harm, but on the internet it's easy to take things the wrong way.

 

I've never heard that before, I like it. In fact, you can turn it around and say "to a nail, everything looks like a hammer."
