THE ATHEIST
You will likely remember the name Madalyn Murray O’Hair. She was profane and aggressive, devoting herself to attacking religion, and especially Christianity. Then, in 1995 at age 76, she mysteriously disappeared. Was she the victim of foul play or had she gone into hiding?
Before evidence eventually pointed to a former associate as the murderer, the Internal Revenue Service seized her personal belongings to pay delinquent taxes and personal debts.
O’Hair capitalized her life on mocking religion and what it stood for. In the end, it was the lack of submission to any moral standard that ended her life.
One item that sold for auction was a copper penny with the phrase “In God We Trust” scratched off, which sold for $10, and O’Hair’s personal Bible, which sold for $2,000. What had no value to her, found value in the hands of some collector.
What will your life’s possessions’ value be when you are gone?
