Walter Isaacson’s new biography portrays Steve Jobs at age 13 as giving up Christianity after seeing starving children on the cover of Life. Jobs asked his Sunday school pastor whether God knew what would happen to them.
Jobs was skeptical of science as well. After learning he has pancreatic cancer, Jobs decided to heal himself. The inventor of the “genius” bar found a clinic that advised juice fasts and bowel cleansings. Jobs went on a vegan diet, tried acupuncture, herbal remedies and other treatments he found online. He even consulted a psychic. .
