Scott
Adams, creator of the comic strip “Dilbert,” theorized
that corporate managers often rise to a level
of incompetence. Toward the end of his
life, Adams
began theorizing about another Creator, namely Christ.
(Fair Use)
Taking a cue from Pascal, Adams wagered on the risk-benefit aspects of eternal salvation. He figured that converting to Christianity wouldn’t much risk what was left of his worldly life and might just be a permanent passport into Heaven. This intellectual stance has been hugely criticized by those who view faith from a profoundly soulful perspective.
And yet, although we know what Adams said aloud, we don’t really know what silently occurred within realms beyond mind and matter. Perhaps this was just the beginning of Scott's truly holistic conversion. We lack the whole story and therefore cannot rightfully judge its conclusion.
