Stephen HB Mystical Knights Legionnaire Services Ltd.	Posted - 2007.09.17 06:56:00 - [1] It is with great sadness that I must relate that Robert Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time series, has died of cardiac amyloidosis aged 58. Slashdot Article Dragonmount blog (slashdotted at posting) Our prayers go out to Jordan's family and friends in this time of grief. For fans awaiting the 12th and final WoT book, it is anticipated that the work can be completed based on Jordan's copious notes, although no timeframe is indicated yet. ---------- Signature core stabiliser II activated.

Wrayeth Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.09.17 07:18:00 - [3] This sucks ass. Nothing else to say about it. The man was a genius, and he never got to finish his greatest work. -Wrayeth n00b Extraordinaire "Look, pa! I just contributed absolutely nothing to this thread!"

Quote: or at least post with your main so we can mercilessly mock you. Will this involve prayers? Seriously though, Death, you seem to have some, well a lot, of hostility towards religion (from several posts you've made in the past and the link in your sig) and you kinda need to realize this forum isn't exactly the place for it. If all you're going to do is flame someone for mentioning prayer in their post then you need to get some help.

Quote: If someone encourages prayers, then I have the right to express my thoughts about it. As far as my question goes, I still would like to hear him answer. As you wish, and henceforth let us keep this thread clear of flaming. I offer prayers for the family and friends of the deceased in the hope and faith that the Lord will support them in their grief. And now I've gone and mentioned religion and the mods will stomp me. ---------- Signature core stabiliser II activated. This sig is immune to mod tampering! Rawr! EVE Tracking Guide

I'll answer the questions then, you don't have to show respect but you could at least refrain from making inflammatory remarks and your second question is obviously just trying to provoke him into making some angry post for your amusement

I'm a atheist and I think religion in general is a bit naff, but this is a thread about a person respected and loved by a great many people, and a brilliant *** writer, and he just died. This isn't the *** place to post your drivel, do it elsewhere. Do you mock people who say "Oh my god" when horrible happens to them? Jesus *** christ some ***** people. People like you the reason Atheists have a bad reputation.

I'm genually interested in how anyone can belive in a set of rules dating back to the bronze age. And I have yet to hear a logical argument to why one should turn to prayers. STAND OUT!

Quote: Jesus *** christ some ***** people. People like you the reason Atheists have a bad reputation. No. The reason atheists have a bad reputation is because people of faith call them evil and what not. the other reason why atheists have bad rep is because of people like you who for some reason thinks religion is off limits for critisism. As I already mentioned, if a person starts talking about prayers then I have the right to question it. STAND OUT!

As I already mentioned, if a person starts talking about prayers then I have the right to question it. No. I debate religion. I criticize it. I'll debate religion endlessly. But I don't do it in a thread where people are paying respect to a beloved, respected, and brilliant person who just died before his time. And you're doing it because someone asked people to keep his family in they're prayers. It's a common gesture that's generally considered civil. Seriously. Take it elsewhere. You're being disrespectful of a amazing person

Yes. The same group of people that mutilates baby boys when they are born. The same someone that says AIDS in Africa is bad but condoms are worse, the same people that until recently said that babies that died before being baptized would end up in limbo. The list goes on and on and if you truly were a atheist you would pick up the gauntlet against the dangers and hypocrisy of religion wherever you found it. STAND OUT!

This has nothing to do with this thread. You're just as brainwashed as the most brainwashed catholic. "True atheist" "pick up the gauntlet". Lol. Whatever.

Stephen HB Mystical Knights Legionnaire Services Ltd.	Posted - 2007.09.17 08:27:00 - [25] This is what I was afraid of. A tribute to a great author has descended into a flamewar between a militant Dawkinist and...well, everyone else. Please can everyone stop sniping at eachother and let the mods do some heavy pruning, if the thread can even be saved from locking at this point. ---------- Signature core stabiliser II activated.

Miss Anthropy School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2007.09.17 08:32:00 - [26] Originally by: Stephen HB It is with great sadness that I must relate that Robert Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time series, has died of cardiac amyloidosis aged 58. Slashdot Article Dragonmount blog (slashdotted at posting) Our prayers go out to Jordan's family and friends in this time of grief. For fans awaiting the 12th and final WoT book, it is anticipated that the work can be completed based on Jordan's copious notes, although no timeframe is indicated yet. Wow. I was thinking of picking up the Wheel of Time series again too. I got to about book 4 or 5 several years ago but stopped reading. Great series although most people say it petered off after book 6. It's just a shame he won't get to finish the series. He will be greatly missed. Hell is other people's ringtones.
