I knew of the statue of him sitting in a wheel chair at his memorial, wasn't sure where the chair was. It isn't something that comes up in conversation on a daily basis.
Once again,, a man who never really wanted to be seen in a wheel chair having a bronze statue of him in a wheelchair funded by disabled people on public display. Something tells me that he might disapprove. These idiots can have a debate if they are in heaven or hell watching what's happening. Hawkin's would tell you; Just moving from one form of matter to the next. At least no one here is saying he will be reincarnated as the dog of a poor man because he believed in science.

Chiefshirink don’t send me a rep message telling me I believe matter came out of nothing and to think about it and then think about what make believe is. You have no ****ing clue what I believe or think.
I do know some make believe deity that came from nothing made something from nothing. Throughout history there have been 100’s of gods and goddesses. They have all been proved to be bullshit, so what makes you really think the religion you have chosen is the one who has the real god after all others have been proven fake |

Did you get the trusty ol' threat of Pascal's Wager too? Hawking's death is really bringing out the insecurity in some of these knuckleheads....

I don’t really give a shit if people are religious. My kids and parents all believe in god. I just don’t. But whenever you stand over a dead person thumping your Bible about him going to an eternal hell because he didn’t believe, that’s when it becomes nothing but bullshit. Stand there high and mighty because you believe in some made up god and then pound your chest that you are saved and other people are damned, that is a ****ing joke. |

Personally, I believe in God because it gives me an accountability to the Earth and every loving creature on it, and allows me to humble myself. I can still desire and search for understanding while still being humble and accountable. It has nothing to do with "not being able to explain something." If that's what you believe about Christians... Well, I'm going to hold my tongue. I just find it laughable that such supposedly forward and progressive thinkers are so small in their perspectives that there really is a group of people who think of Christians as some slackjawed yokes who believe in a Big Sky Daddy who can't wait to punish them for breaking one of the Ten No-nos... I feel sorry for those people, but you can't explain anything to someone who is so arrogant to think they already know it all. And if that's what you think, then I wouldn't go around belittling anyone's intelligence...ya catch my drift, Honcho?

People just didn't like him because all the liberals fawned over him like he was something special. Let's face it, it wasn't his work in physics that made him so popular - he was a Godless liberal who was crippled and had a robot voice. I didn't give a shit about him when he was alive...care less about him now that he's dead. On a semi-related note : anyone want to buy my unplayed vinyl copy of Pink Floyd's Endless River?
