If Hawkings is so convinced there is no God, why hasn't he put a bullet through his skull? Why would ANYONE suffer and die like that unless A. He knew that suicide was a mortal sin, or B. He was a damn coward?

Seconded. In fact, 'nutrider', deserves a bullet himself. Prof. Hawking is a stronger and more intelligent person than you will ever be. You need an imaginary man to make your life have 'purpose' becuase you're scared of the real world.
Who's the real coward here?
(p.s. God is not real, so he can't be a YEC. Liberal=/=atheist=/='evolutionist'. Apes, not chimps. Douchebag.)
maevemab - that, and the fact he's physically incapable of shooting himself.
I know that's by fat the least important item fo wrongness in that post, but it adds to the dick-headery of it.
if god is a YEC, then god is an idiot. Anybody that believes that bullshit is either an idiot or just plain delusional.
Maybe Stephen Hawking is happy? Maybe he enjoys his life? Maybe he's brave enough to stick it out?
Anybody that calls him a coward deserves to get ALS. I bet you wouldn't be half as brave as he is, and you definitely wouldn't be anywhere near as successful.
Euthanasia for Christ!?
Seriously, why wouldn't one hold onto every moment of this life if they didn't believe there was anything after?
Indeed, one could make a case that since the longer you live the more chance you would commit a mortal sin barring you from heaven AND God has excused murder numerous times in the Bible, including infanticide, then why not kill one's children so they are guaranteed to go to heaven? That is, if we buy the whole crazy line people like nutrider were spouting.
Well, if we're talking about Stephen Hawking, it's because HE'S THAT FUCKING AWESOME. He's paralyzed, he can only talk through that freaky robot box thingy, but he's still one of the smartest guys on the planet.
You just know that he's got a button on his chair that turns it into a Gundam or something, just in case, and he designed it himself. Because Hawking is that fucking awesome.
I just threw up a little at the thought of some mouth-breathing, still living in "mommy and daddy's house" twerp from FreeCon talking about Stephen Hawking. Hawking's shit has more value than your pea brain, ghoulish creep. Go back to your secret porn stash under the bed and let adults talk, Bozo.
OR, he's not so utterly ruled by the self-destructive fear of a vindictive, petty God, that we are actually able to respect and enjoy life.
Didn't Steven Hawkings say that he could believe in God if it were to mean a platonic embodiment of the laws of nature - " their "god", he says, is really just "an abstract principle of order and harmony", a set of mathematical equations " - not a patriarchal megalomaniac?
So, for those of you following at home:
According to fundies-
Abortions=bad
scientists shooting themselves=good
Why does it seem that human life loses all value to these people once the umbilical cord is cut?
Why would ANYONE suffer and die like that unless A. He knew that suicide was a mortal sin, or B. He was a damn coward?
How about "C. He doesn't want to die?" Seems like a lot simpler answer, especially since most living things actively try to avoid dying.
LOLWUT? Because death is irreversible, you retard! No matter how terrible life is, you only get one shot at it, so you might as well wait and hope it changes for the better. Because you are going to die anyway, you don't know what happens to you afterwards (technically), and your existence might mean something to other people.
Oh, but here's the thing: that probably doesn't even apply here. Stephen Hawking may be disabled, but that doesn't mean that he thinks less of his life, or that he suffers. In reality, disabled people generally have a higher sense of self-worth than the non-disabled (assuming that you are talking about the period of time immediately preceding their becoming disabled).
And: God is also a drunk. Deal with it.
@ doomie 22:
"Ignoring the extreme insensitivity in this quote, hasn't Stephen Hawking said that he does believe there is a God?"
No. He is indeed an atheist. The usage of the concept of a god in his work is purely philosophical. He himself considers "God" to be an unnecessary and artificial construct to explain natural phenomena.
The only source of confusion is from lying fundies. Just as they lie about Darwin's beliefs, they lie about Hawking's.
[If Hawkings is so convinced there is no God, why hasn't he put a bullet through his skull? ]
Why don't you do the world a favor and put a bullet through your fucking skull?
The rest of us descended from ape-like ancestors (NOT chimps, creotard), but it seems that YOU have some pond scum in your incestry. Oops, I meant ancestry.
or C) Because professor Hawking has a fulfilling life, even with his disability.
D) Because professor Hawking is a far greater man than most of us could hope to be. Certainly he is greater than you can suppose.
E) Hawking doesn't need god to give his life meaning.
F) C,D AND E.
Its cowardly to kill yourself? Its usually the other way around. Honestly speaking Hawkings lives because he has reason to live. His mind finds an escape in science.
Honestly it amuses me that you don't see true wonder in the nature of the world and instead hold on to your god of small things.
Or maybe...
C) He's staying alive in the hope, that in the near future, someone can delevop a treatment that can reverse some of, or delay the effects of ALS...
D) Handguns are ILLEGAL to possess in the U.K, so he can't shoot himself...
Yeah, why doesn't he do the cowardly, selfish, and easy thing, and end his own life (barring the fact that he cannot use a gun)? It's not like he's exhibiting any strength of character by living despite his condition! After all, only fundie gawd-huggers have any character, it says so in Grimm's Fairy Tales for Bigots...I mean, the Bible.
Or maybe he figures he can do some good and try to illuminate the universe for you ignorant savages? Hmm? Maybe teach you not to fear the unknown, that thunder isn't gawd stomping his feet, that the dead don't rise and people don't live in fish? Nah, that couldn't be it.
He lives for two reasons.
1) Because he's not done schooling you fools who believe in invisible friends that kill babies on a whim
2) To spite you.
unlike you, Hawkings actually has a reason to live and help mankind instead of wallowing in his own ignorance, pursuing a fantasy, or kissing a divine butt of a spiteful god.
Dawkins didn't put a bullet in his head (much like anyone else would) because of the fact that he wanted to oh I dunno say... LIVE A LONG FULL HAPPY LIFE AS LONG AS HE CAN NATURALLY?
Gee how dare people who do not believe in God be able to live breed and have the pursuit to happiness leading a normal life?? It's so wrong! They should all just die and go to hell where they are bound for anyway.
/sarcasm
If you are so fucking convinced there is a God and an afterlife, why haven't you put a bullet through your skull? If you believe salvation is through faith, not works, why not do it and get to your god just that much sooner? Why would ANYONE want to wait one mement longer to be with your god? Why are you such a damn coward?
Right. Lets punch some logic holes in this motherfucker:
You love God, so much, kill yourself so you can find out he isn't real.
Why would an atheist who believes that he has ONE life to make the most of shoot himself for no reason?
Plus, you just advocated Hawkins kill himself because of his disability, go kindly shoot yourself fucktard.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
