Kelly We all have to die. We all live in "the valley of the shadow of death". For being so brilliant this was the most foolish, dumbest and most self centered arrogant statement i heard anyone speak.

What a sad conclusion of life, very dark and sad.

[@taxo]

Honestly? Many comments here made me almost feel ashamed of being Christian.How can someone who really believes in Christ teachings wish someone else to "burn in hell"? How can one be condamned for no reason,without even knowing the person himself,his life,his thoughts,purely basing the judgment on beliefs?Being a christian or an atheist is a choice,the only thing that really matters is what dwells in your soul.Ronnie was a great man and Immense singer,nothing else counts.He probably lived more virtuously than tons of fellows proclaming themself "Christians"who feel on the right side bashing people for the choices they made.That's what I'd call "hell".

[@TheAxe4Ever]

I have no desire to get into an arguement with anyone about theological ideas, religion, whether they believe in God or not. That's too personal of a choice that one makes. I myself, am a Christian, a devout follower of Christs teachings. And I fall WAY short many times of his teachings. Because I'm not a perfect person. What really pisses me off is when members of my own faith, Christianity, condem others for not believeing. If they don't follow a religion, any religion, that's their choice to make and neither I, or anyone else, has the right to try to jam Christianity down anyone's throat. At the same time, it pisses me off when people try to belittle me, question my intelligence, or tell me I'm wrong because I am a believer. It's not up to me to prove God exists and it's not up to you to try to convince me their is no God. All of that being said, I am a lover of people. We have a responsibility to treat each other with love, compassion and honesty, REGARDLESS of ones religious or non religious beliefs. If a Christian and an atheist were in a burning building, which one would I save? I would try my damnedest to throw each one of them over each shoulder to carry them out together because they are both equally important to the people that love them and want to see them saved. I have seen enough blind hatred against all walks of life to last me 10 lifetimes. War can do that to you. But that being said, no one, and I mean no one is going to mistreat or attack me or the people I love without a fight of some sort. That is one area I fall short of Christs teachings. I am an imperfect human being. With ALL of that being said, Ronnie James Dio was one of the most genuine, honest, compassionate guys I have ever had the privelage to meet. I miss his music. I miss him. I had the chance to share with him my very thoughts I posted here and I hold very dearly the words he told me. He said, "My friend, (he called me friend and I had only met him 10 minutes earlier) I only wish everyone of every faith thought like you. If it had been presented to me like that when I was growing up as a Catholic, maybe my outlook would be different". He gave me a huge smile, thanked ME for seeing his show and talking with him. I went to shake his hand and thank him for the autograph, when he grabbed me and gave me a big, manly hug! Great guy! Very humble and he humbled me as well. Miss you so much RJD!

My biggest bitch about theists is that so many of them quarter the morality and quadruple the mythology.To me,the point of the bible was not"the world started twice and snakes talk" and all the other wacky things we atheists like to laugh at about the bible,I hate the mythological stuff,but I like when Jesus said to be generous,and whether you're a hardcore atheist(like me) or a devout theist of whatever kind,you should be able to get behind that idea of generosity,of treating people well,more than 'there is a god'.I doubt there is,but I also think this is our chance,while alive,to MAKE heaven or hell,as we choose. There's a lot to hate religion for,I certainly didn't wander into my hatred for jwhw,but let's remember the most important thing,to help others enjoy life while they have it.

Dio doesn't seem to have been an atheist, but perhaps he was a deist. I think if confronted with having to choose, taking no middle ground, he would have gone the "no god" route. Just my opinion. What's ironic is that he had a falling out with Vivian Campbell, who I think is an atheist, but yet he got along well with Craig Goldy, a born again Christian. Anyhow, I think he was right about life here on earth being heaven or hell, the only caveat being that the choice is not always our own. Many people no doubt find themselves in bad circumstances not of their own choosing. In the end, life has no real meaning other than the meaning that we attach to it. And it's different for everyone. Dio left behind a monumental legacy of great music. That's his outstanding contribution to mankind (which will outlast his charity work). \m/ \m/

You can get along fine with people who dont share your religious beliefs if you dont insist on pushing them. His differences with Campbell had nothing to do with religion.

+Justin Clark I think agnostic anti-theist would be most accurate. A lot of people who are labelled atheist are actually agnostic and some level of anti theist. The religious label them so they can appear just as irrational for asserting they know there is no God as theists are for asserting there is. To that end every human in history who is honest with themself would be agnostic. Faith does not require factual evidence. It is frustrating that religious persecution, judgement, and accusations of heresy have always been practiced by people whose authority to do so was merely upon the dishonest claims of divine inspiration- or that reading the bible allowed it.

Well Said Dio R.I.P. \m/

[@Neptuneman07]

RIP Dio, you were a very talented and blessed singer. Hopefully I will see you on the other side soon.

[@ashtonwright1841]

Why are you people preaching to the dio. U heard what he said damn. Even if he was alive and read those comments he would most likely laugh anyways.

[@shortsdeliveries]

Oh my, Dio is so Buddhist, everything he said here relates to the Buddha Dharma, he is amazing! And that sign with this hand he used to do is the Apana Mudra which is very auspicious, very beneficial and the rainbows and skeletons have a relation with Tibetan Buddhism. Dio remembers me of Guru Rinpoche (the Second Buddha) doing the hand gesture, having long hair and having rainbows on his paintings, so cool. Check Guru Rinpoche lol

[@dickrathcock2136]

That's a bunch of horseshit, it's not Buddhist.That sign was taught to him by his old Italian grandmother who was from the old country where it is used to ward off evil spirits. It has nothing whatsoever to do with devil worship or any of that crap. It's like saying Hitler invented the swastika.

[@jimchumley6568]

Yeah i was a buddhist untill i met and received the ultimate way. truth and life Jesus. This happened on that awesome day 12-26-83 when i could throw a pigskin a quarter mile.

[@usmanabdullah7232]

One of the greatest mind of recent times!

[@UnhingedMind]

Dio had a pretty good impression about religion. One that actually makes sense. Bottom line: we make our own heaven or hell. And for the religious nuts...* 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. *(excluding the spiritual fruits who know morality from hypocrisy, may the world be filled with those of an understanding nature; Instead of those who use their belief to persecute and berate, to use the shield as a sword to cut down those who do not fit the ideals of the hypocrite.)

[@raza8110]

In other words the bible says, "Check yourself before you wreck yourself." ^^

[@KnightsTemplarChurch]

I Wear My Sunglasses At Night Sabo kun Christianity isn't Bad, are you kidding me? Have you read the message of Christ Jesus? The New Testament is an instruction guide for a wonderful life. You can't understand what you are not fully aware of, this comment comes from someone who hasn't did what the Bible says, or else your life would be so happy, you would never want anything but Faith. What you see in others, that brings out comments like Religion is bad, is because of MEN. Now, the Koran, does have EVIL HATE teachings and no ways to discern them, as we have the Old and New Testament is Jesus. You know, I could say the same thing about Christians and Atheists, but you see the issues isn't the person, or their belief in God, it's their way of putting meaning to that. Jesus says, the Path to Heaven is Narrow, right he is. Because after 25 years of Psychology study, along with Childhood Development and 15 years of Theology, ,I can't help but see the truth. We either choose to be good people, or bad people. There are countless reasons why, but the core of this is; Power and Money. Which even makes Jesus and God seem more real, because they preach about this. However, who does what the Bible says? Jesus says; sell it all, and give to the homeless and follow me. People read the Bible and decide what they think it means, which is fine, but the problem comes right then. Is their filters for life Love and Peace and Harmony, or Hate and Confusion and Unrest? The truth is in the Word of Christ Jesus, it's the very best Philosophy there is. Believe with all your heart, and watch the magic happen. Just Love so much that there can't be anything else coming from you but Love. That alone will drive you to deeper meaning. If you knew the message of JESUS, not the behavior of people who say they do, you would have to believe, because it is the prince of peace who set the standard. If any of us, can be like Christ, the life we will lead, will leave a legacy. No one living a life without meaning is going to leave much of a legacy. You see it's who we become, that defines us. Become more to give more! Rise and Shine for Love, I shine for the Lord. I encourage everyone to learn about Jesus, not for anything else but to learn. If you do what the Bible says, I can't fathom why you wouldn't keep that faith. Joy and Love and Mercy and Kindness and Compassion and Forgiveness for others and self. You tell me that isn't a great way to live? People are not the problem, it's the way the Dogmas play out in their lives that is the problem. Peace and Love be unto you and all mankind.

[@UnhingedMind]

Knights Templar You're kinda missing the whole point of my post, and putting words in my mouth that I have never spoken. And words I never will.

[@jamesleroygarcia106]

A Church of Jesus Christ's Love ...the way the dogmas play out in peoples lives...yes, but where does the dogma come from?? The "church" along with theology that asks people to believe in fantastical things... WHY?? Because muh bible says so...

[@christopherhoudaille6196]

He is an example of a guy who didn't believe in God because of Catholic brainwashing. I'm a christian but I can definitely agree with some of the stuff he said in this interview. Between the Catholic church and Bible, there is a big difference.

[@Atkatsuki85]

***** lol the bible is so derpy..have you actually read the bible? Maybe if you knew the real world history you would realize how retarded the supposed word of god is.... wake up man you have been brainwashed...the bible was written 2000 years ago.....why would you believe anything an uneducated bunch of near cave man thought.... if you went back in time right now and told them that slavery was wrong they would stone you to death..or told them the earth is round they would kill you lol...yet you believe the same bullshit they came up with LOL

[@Atkatsuki85]

***** science is in no way a religion.....and true science does not omit anything..obviously you do not understand the scientific method...an individual might omit something or try to ..however that is what the peer review is for...and case studies, experiments must be repeatable and verifiable.... so no we do not "blindly" follow anything...scientific theory must withstand the rigors of be proven wrong hundreds upon thousands of times before it can even get to be called a theory...as far as the bible show me any truth of "God" in the real world and not fantasy and if anyone else can replicate the results then i would advise you to share it with the world....

@ Daniel Ridge How interesting , you quote bible like someone that knows it very well and you more than likely know it better than most ! You listen to Dio and metal but believe in God , theres a novel idea how do you cope with it Dan ? Did your parents hang you from a 2nd floor window attempting to scare you into denouncing an interest in Rock and Roll as " all " our " Christian parents did lol? This barrier " you can't listen to anything except Gospel , country , Lawrence Welk and Classical music if you are a Christian , its a total fallacy and trumped up BS ( oh excuse me for using a curse word what a sinner I am ) . Dio should hang his head , if he chose to be an agnostic or atheistist that is his choice but his attitude is serious wanting and has a ring of " disdain " for religion is general . Not sure what it is that was eating his ass " but his outlook lacks the slightest bit of reality and historical knowledge . Without that " so called religion " and I don't care if its even believing in the sky , the world would be a planet more uncivilized and inhuman than it is even today . Dio is a disappointing ass and another disgrace !

[@nomorebeans68ib64]

Very fascinating and believable metaphor of Heaven and Hell by the Metal King, Ronnie James Dio! To those Christians who say that RJD is badly mistaken, he isn't because the life that we live is a constant onslaught of challenges and battles that we have to overcome to see happiness. Although RJD was an Atheist (which I'm perfectly happy with), he gave a great metaphor of Heaven and Hell. Heaven meaning happiness and Hell meaning evil and agony. And extra points to the Metal King for referencing the bastards who wrote The Bible which is a book of fairytales that contradicts itself and probably written to coerce others to blindly follow it. Besides, areas that are more secular have less crimes around it. 75 percent of prisoners in America are Christians and only 0.2% of prisoners are Atheists.

[@raza8110]

Couldn't have put it better myself.

[@nomorebeans68ib64]

Sabo D. Rebel I can't help but laugh at all these Theists who say that Dio is in hell. How would they know? Just because someone else said so? The reason why we can't disprove God Is because we can't prove God. It's like if a cockroach is on top of a person's head and they have to prove it's not there even when they can't sense it in any way possible.

[@raza8110]

Ivan Knuckle True, but all in all I who am living honor and respect his memory. Anyone who has respect for Dio should honor what he did in life and wish him a farewell when he left, not judge him for how he lived his life or where he is in the afterlife. That is why I believe theists are assholes when it comes to honoring the dead.

[@wannaknow1040]

I'm a Christian and i hope RJD accepted the free gift of salvation before he passed. I go against Christians that say that he is in hell right now. That is a disgusting thing to say. If they weren't there with him on his death bed (or even if they where) they do better not saying any thing at all, because only God and RJD knows where he is now. Believing the true gospel of Jesus Christ for salvation isn't religion. Religion is what people think they must do for God and the Gospel is about what God did for us. Salvation is a free gift. We are saved by grace through faith and when we understand that we are sinners that can't save ourselfs from hell and believe the gospel of Jesus death, burial and resurection we are saved forever and will have everlasting life. There is no works required from us to get saved. All we need to do is believe and we will receive the free gift so that's what i hope he did before he died. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. I remember when he sang The Mask Of The Great Deceiver with his Christian friend Kerry Livgren from Kansas. Powerful.

Well, my days of being a Dio fan are officially over. Not really, but, may God have mercy on his soul and give him rest…and the biggest surprise of his life!

Ronnie James Dio, one of my favorite musicians. Misguided he was, just wish I could have met him before his demise. I could have explained it to him and he would have understood it better. Unfortunately, as so many lost in their religion and forget it is about having a relationship with God. Religion is man mad, God is supernatural. The invisible made the visible, and it is about the spirit and truth. RIP, Ronnie, I will talk to Christ Jesus on your behalf. ...who cries for the children...I do....
