That would require an afterlife, which I'm pretty sure would invalidate most of his writing, so I kinda hope he does. Pretty chilly in Hel though.

This will probably blow a certain person's mind but it looks like he had a change of heart at the end.
--- Quote ---According to Pierre Victor (a.k.a. Benny Levy), who spent much of his time with the dying Sartre and interviewed him on several of his views, Sartre had a drastic change of mind about the existence of god and started gravitating toward Messianic Judaism. This is Sartre's before-death profession, according to Pierre Victor: "I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured. In short, a being whom only a Creator could put here; and this idea of a creating hand refers to god."[90] Simone de Beauvoir later revealed her anger at his change of mind by stating, "How should one explain this senile act of a turncoat? All my friends, all the Sartreans, and the editorial team of Les Temps Modernes supported me in my consternation."

I'm told that's common when, at the edge of the dark, you notice the abyss looking back.

Besides the joke had more to do with his eyes. He's got that Marty Feldman thing going.

What is your quest? Are you here for a discussion, (which seems to have previously run its course), or are you hear to preach? In either case, this topic seems exhausted already.

I am without excuse or justification for my being present! Here I am introducing a new phrase, i.e., "existential absurdity". I simply enjoy writing responces. It is actually an infinitely rich subject and nowhere near exhaustion; if people here can be kind and open-minded test subjects...
