Long expressing a belief in atheism, Adams became famous among “free-thinking” people for his cartoon series and comments.
According to the Christian Tribune, he made the comments on his daily live stream.
Adams 68, shared a prostate cancer diagnosis last year.
He said upon receiving his diagnosis he was considering euthanasia, as he didn’t want the slow “decline,” but later, supported by his fans, he powered on.
“Whenever I talk about this simulation, and especially when I talk about my own impending death, many of my Christian friends and Christian followers say to me, Scott, you still have time. You should convert to Christianity, and I usually just let that sit, because that’s not an argument I want to have,” Adams said.
“I’ve not been a believer, but I also have respect for any Christian who goes out of their way to try to convert me, because how would I believe you believe your own religion if you’re not trying to convert me. So I have great respect for people who care enough that they want me to convert and then go out of their way to try to convince me,” he said.
“So you’re going to hear for the first time today that it is my plan to convert. So I still have time, but my understanding is you’re never too late. And on top of that, any skepticism I have about reality would certainly be instantly answered if I wake up at heaven.
“I do believe that the dominant Christian theory is that I was I would wake up in heaven if I have a good life. Yeah, I don’t necessarily have to state something in advance. And so to my Christian friends, yes, it’s coming. So you don’t need to talk me into it.
“I am now convinced that the risk reward is completely smart. If it turns out that there’s nothing there, I’ve lost nothing, but I’ve respected your wishes, and I like doing that. If it turns out there is something there, and the Christian model is the closest to it, I win. So with your permission, I promise you that I will, I will convert.”
Revolver News commented, “There’s something incredibly moving about listening to a man at the end of his life speak with this kind of clarity and humility. No bravado. No performance. Just honesty. Scott frames his decision in the way he’s always approached life. Thoughtfully. Logically. Respectfully. But beneath that is something even more human. A willingness to listen. A willingness to choose hope. A willingness to step into faith when the stakes could not be higher.
“For Christians, this is truly a moment of joy. And for anyone who has followed Scott Adams, this is a reminder that the final chapter of a life can still be filled with meaning, courage, and grace.”
