Carl Sagan was an atheist

A few years ago on the Madison (WI) Metro #29: Two men boarded the bus who were traveling together. The first man sat next to me. The second man was quite tall and had about 10 feet of television cable wrapped tightly around his shoulders and neck. Cableguy held the pointy cable end in one hand while he loomed over the other passengers menacingly and shouted, “Who wants their eye poked out? You? You? YOU?” Poke, poke, poke.

Then, Cableguy sat in the seat behind his friend and started talking about Carl Sagan. “Carl Sagan was an atheist. He’s burning in hell right now. I bet he was surprised when he died and went to hell! Carl Sagan–go to hell! That’s where he is!”

According to Wikipedia, Carl Sagan was an agnostic and freethinker. Also, I declined to have my eye poked out.
