Because the Christian in question follows the tenets of the religion he professes to adhere to about as well as Lemmy followed his own advice about staying clean.
That man is so far removed from Christ and the teachings of the bible, he aspires to be Pilate.
Not just that, this concert and his death brought metal back into the spotlight and inspired a whole new generation of hard rockers and metal heads.
More plainly, I think we effectively sacrificed the Prince of darkness to bring heavy metal back to life and it was the single most metal thing that could ever happen in all of history 🤘
But then watching the documentary "No Escape From Now" added even more sorrow to the loss as he and his family were looking forward to retirement and relaxing like a (semi) normal family and then 17 days later he dies.
This was my dad's fate. Dude finally retired after a long life of hard work and immense chronic pain, and his fucking heart blew up a few months later.
We need to release the concept of retirement. We are not made to be passive, do nothing. Just live. Do things, whatever -- stay active until the day you cannot. Like Ozzie did.
You're right. Retirement is a term used as a carrot at the end of stick. You'll never get it, or it will be stale when you finally catch it.
I don't know that many happy retired people. Sure they got off the rat wheel, but at what cost? An entire life spend on making billionaires richer. Fuck that.
Forget about retirement. Instead, I suggest focusing and actively working on making life worth living before getting too old. Demand better working conditions if work is what's making life miserable.

Some people asked that a long time ago as well, so it's not that unheard-of a belief: Luciferianism

I’m not one to read memoirs but I will buy Last Rites not only because it’s Ozzy’s tale of his final years, but the proceeds further go to charity.

17 days of retirement? Not bad.
trolololol@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 309d
That's 17 days more than what the government approves.

Retirement isn't "stop doing things", it's "stop slaving away for the great capitalist machine for minimal personal benefit".

Well, he supported Israel, and the death of thousands of other children, so i guess he went neutral?

Go back to "enter a group that do not use search engines here" instead of checking things before you answer.
