Psalms 73:12, “Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.”

Isn't that something? All those famous celebrities are dead, many for decades; yet, their worldly works are still generating millions of dollars in financial profits. Tragically, they're all burning in Hell.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He could have patented, copyrighted, trademarked, licenced up the wazoo his invention - HTML - thus making billions, if not trillions in the process. Yet...:

...as he (using his invention) Tweeted from his NeXT-box, similar to what he used on that day at CERN, when he came up with his initial concept, displaying on the 'Pixels' around the arena in the Olympic Stadium during the opening ceremony of our 2012 London Olympics:

He could have become the richest person on the planet, via his invention - the World Wide Web - but he didn't. 'This Is For Everyone': He gave it away.

I trust you'll remember that, Davey-boy, next time you write another of your poisonous screeds on your Web site. He did it for you; Jesus had fuck-all to do with it, it was he who gave you the ability to have a presence on the internet in the first place. Nope, not seeing God himself anywhere on this very Satanic internet.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee is a Unitarian Universalist. So, who is going to Hell...?! Enjoy your paradox, Davey-boy.

I notice that ol' Davey-boy's now using his new domain: 'jesusisprecious.org'. Whassamatter, Dave? Don't have much 'Faith' in your [i]faith[/i] that you'll [i]win[/i] that case against that Filipino TV station, re. copyrighted names, and you know you'll have to [i]abandon[/i] those previous domains...?! >:D

...but you could always abandon the WWW. As a whole, seeing as a Unitarian Universalist - and therefore not someone exactly like you - invented it, and all the legal hassles involved, in the first place.

Just a thought, Davey-boy. It'd save you the terrible gyp all that typing must be playing merry Hell with your bad back, eh?! [/hyper-sarcasm]

Still, we all have our crosses to bear, eh? Oh yes, that's right: I'm not. I'm an Atheist who isn't being plagued with terrible & constant back/neck pain; seems your 'God' favours we non-believing, non-hypocritical & non-paedophile, morally superior 'amoral heathen' Atheists, eh Davey-boy?! [/mega-paradox] >:D

Reconnoitering the page, it looks like the reason Stewart claims they're stuck in Hell (hopefully they're under the jurisdiction of one of the genuinely noble demons, like Orobas or Haures) is simply that they weren't born-again Christians. Looking later on, Stewart refers to religion as useless, saying that there IS no universal church (referring in particular to the Catholics), only those saved by trusting in Jesus's righteousness. Considering Stewart's past (i.e. graduate of Hyles-Anderson College), I'd guess he considers only fellow firebrands of castigation as Real True Christians.

Really says something when he claims on that page that "[t]hat's what getting into Heaven's all about, getting your sins forgiven.". (Or thereabouts...) Just the forgiving of ills you've committed, not further jettisoning corrupt behavior in favor of honorable behavior. What a fatalist...

Figures that he missed a good chunk of the first part of the psalm in question; does Hyles-Anderson teach that the numerical divisions were divinely inspired, too? Using the KJV version...

6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

One important thing to remember about 73:11--atheists were all but unheard of in the Middle East of the time. 73:11 is alluding to those who say that not because they think God doesn't exist, but because they think their tithing to the temple is perfectly acceptable bribing of the divine, effectively hoodwinking God. Exactly the kind of thinking that Amos inveighed against. And really, Stewart, among that lot up there, how many can you really say have violence as a garment? Even with Jackson, the only one you really detailed at all, all you could come up with was involvement with Jehovah's Witnesses and Muslims. Not exactly a mantle woven of violence, is it? And how many on that list had a lofty opinion of oppression? (Helpful hint: Amos & Co. aren't concerned with oppression of believers, but oppression of the poor.)
