Warren Buffett Responds to "Is Warren Buffett Going to Hell?"

Friday morning we got a particularly relevant response to our "Is Warren Buffett Going to Hell?" investigative report from, well,... Warren Buffett. It's technically addressed to Fordham theology professor Richard Dillon, who commented on the piece, but was sent to us. (Click to view a larger image of the letter.)

Now we just need Ken Lay to write in and confirm that he faked his own death and smuggled himself out of the country.

[Ed.Note to Ad Sales: If Warren Buffet's reading DealBreaker, doesn't that make the new mean income of DealBreaker readers something like $1.8 million? Just a suggestion!]

I loved the typo: "I fund (sic) that once a misconstrued or misstated quote gets into public discussion...." Can that man even think of anything else?

This is an unfunny hoax. Buffett can write in complete, coherent sentences unlike your hoaxer. I'd also be willing to wager all of Buffett's fortune that he'd never question the existence of heaven in a letter that could become public (especially in a letter to a Jesuit priest).

The average income of your readers remains $35,000.

Well guys, what kind of envelope did this come in? Is it a hoax or not?

Well, the sender would have had to fake a Berkshire Hathaway IP as well as an @BRKA.com email for Buffett's assistant. Now, granted, some of the Cult of Buffett people are probably crazy and technically gifted enough to do that. But the odds are overwhelmingly against it.

Which means: you owe us all of Buffett's fortune. Checks can be made out to DEAD HORSE MEDIA, LLC.

I should also add that I don't find the letter the least bit controversial, public or no. It's a good and entirely reasonable response.

And if Buffett's belief in the existence or nonexistence of heaven materially affects your outlook on BRK-A, I think it's safe to assume you're not a serious investor.

Funny theology. He clearly believes that heaven is that special place where all all stocks go up.
