Dede Robertson died…can you imagine being married to Pat Robertson for 70 years?!
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Justin Green - comic book artist. Best known for his 1972 autobiographical comic "Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary" in which he chronicles how Catholicism tormented him as a child and how he ultimately rejected it.

I have that comic book in my private library. Having grew up Catholic, I identified with a lot of the torments Brown experienced at the hands of the nuns and Church.

This should really be in the 'Noteworthy News' thread, but I can't be arsed to move it.
Feel free to announce the news of his death here once he assumes room temperature, though.

The Covid virus will reject Craig.

“Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness," the statement said. "We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in unknown territory." The statement did not elaborate further.

Hermann Nitsch, one of the most hardcore artists to walk the earth, died over a week ago. For a taste, here’s him working on one of his paintings.
And I was careful to not include any of his performance art, because that sort of shit you Google at your own peril. Frankly, it straddles the line between artistic genius and serial killer levels of crazy; any of those pieces probably has as much gore as the entire Saw series.
And, for the record, he also composed the music in the video.
