"The promptings of the Holy Ghost will always be sufficient for our needs if we keep to the covenant path. Our path is uphill most days, but the help we receive for the climb is literally divine." --Elaine S. Dalton
I know this will seem weird, but even though I'm a science fiction fan, I didn't like Arthur C. Clarke's stuff. Rendezvous with Rama was alright. But the rest of the Rama series was pure trash. Obviously he had many talents and was very intelligent, but he was also monumentally self deceived in other areas. At least now he has discovered that he was wrong about religion. Well, at least he's discovered that there is an afterlife. He may have found a "scientific" reason not to believe it. Like he's still in the last moments of death and his oxygen deprived brain is making this all up.

heh. I read the article... looks like it was tabloid... never know if that's true, I suppose.
I've never read his stuff, though once I wrote a videogame the story to a videogame story that was strangely reminiscient of "First Contact" (which had not come out til after the story was done...)
