RIP Roger Ebert

[HC]

Funeral was today at Holy Name Cathedral.

I assumed he was an atheist, and found the venue an odd choice.

In looking for confirmation, I came across his very thoughtful take on his belief (or lack thereof) in God:

The venue makes sense to me in that he was raised Catholic and him wife is believer.

I think he may have cost a few kids scholarships with this, or something.

Worth a read - the ending is right out of Sixth Sense.
