GRAPHIC:

I will update this thread shortly, as he seems to be a rather well-known atheist.

Well, he is King Atheist

I guess he didn't believe in God, and he didn't believe in salads.

In hmolscience, Patrick Fergus (1986-2015) (DN=9.5), aka "Pat" or "King Atheist", was an American atheist and realist noted for being the co-host, with American extreme atheist and electrochemical engineer Libb Thims, of the 2014-launched YouTube channel Atheism Reviews.

Fergus’ favorite author was American writer, journalist, and realist Hunter Thompson (1937-2005). The following is the most-liked quote of Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his most-famous book, according to GoodReads: [4]

“No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride ... and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well ... maybe chalk it off to forced conscious expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten ... it’s all in Kesey’s Bible .… the far side of reality.”

Fergus was a passionate hard-core atheist, even being an “evangelical atheist” of sorts with most people he came in contact with, particularly if you began to hang out with him and or interact with him. The following is what Fergus believed in, i.e. his atheist’s creed so to say:

“Energy. You have sex, there’s friction … that’s heat. Then a baby shoots out. It’s all energy. The sun's a giant orgasm. Like if you see a hot girl ... and she's soo hot, you can't even touch that sh*t. You're like daaammn!”
— Pat Fergus (2014), when queried on Easter (Apr 20) about what—as an atheist—he believes in?

In respect to where he derived this “belief”, his favorite author was American writer Hunter Thompson (1937-2005), best-known for his 1971 book turned (1998) film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which was Fergus’ favorite film, behind Wolf of Wall Street (2014)

Fergus was raised Irish Catholic, his father being an Irish Catholic Christian, his mother being denominationally a theist, but teetering on atheism, as Pat speculated in 2014.

At age 10, Fergus irreverence and disdain for religion was prominent, as evidenced by the fact that him and his friend Chris burned ten of one of their Jewish friend's yarmulkes in a fire, for a laugh.

At age of about 15, Fergus became an atheist, as one of his Jewish friends recollect things, as told to Libb Thims, when queried about when Fergus became atheist; which seems to corroborate with episode commentary where he "by that age" told to his parents [or father] “I’m not stepping foot in another church.”

The nickname “King Atheist” was chosen by Libb Thims to be his new Atheism Review showname, per the reasons (a) atheism is all he ever talks about, particularly when he's drinking with his friends, (b) he’s always trying to convert his spiritual and religious friends to atheism, by ripping on the idiocy of their belief system, sometimes staying up all night, till the crack of dawn, to do so, and (c) owing to the fact that he has a Jewish friend, that drives him around to parties and bar-hopping, whom he always refers to in the third person as “King Jew”, whereby, accordingly, Thims told Pat: “just as you call what’s-his-name ‘King Jew’, we have to call you ‘King Atheist’!”

Fergus met his reaction end on Wednesday 21 Jan 2015, while on vacation in Thailand, after a long night of partying no-doubt like a rock star themed Hunter Thompson, in Cambodia, at the age of 29.

Is the wording of this kind of strange? How do you die in Cambodia when you're on holiday in Thailand? Sounds like they're trying to take Cambodia out of the picture completely. Maybe this was a side trip he didn't tell anyone about.

Also, based on everything his friends say about him, it sounds highly unlikely that he died from too much alcohol alone. Sounds like he most likely was on all sorts of drugs, Hunter S Thompson style. Or maybe the typical attempt to buy cocaine from a Tuk-Tuk driver and you get a cheap bag of heroin instead.

Also, about a 20 min video of his friends doing impersonations of him and saying their goodbyes:

In my view, no true unbeliever is that passionate about the topic.

So anyone who claims to be an atheist AND is passionate about it really believes in God?

So, believers are passionate, and nonbelievers cannot be passionate. Sounds perfectly logical to me.
