this is becoming a thread about Christ more than about Hawking.
or rather about medieval Christianity. If you don’t believe in burning witches then you can’t be a proper Christian
If you don;’t think Jesus was a Guardian reader, then you must be a witch-burner.
I’ve not actually said what my Christianity is because it’s not…[Read more]

Yup, Ms M, treating people decently is seeing Jesus as an awful nice prson.
A lot of modern Christians argue that he was just incredibly nice.
I would say that there have been many other nice and decent people in the world. Some like Gandhi, managed to be much more effective than Jesus in getting things done.
All Jesus succeeded in doing was…[Read more]

you are like Dawkins; you are ignorant of modern religious belief.
many Christians are biblical literalists. Most have to sift the bible, causing mockery forom those like Dawkins and yourself who want them to stick to something genuinelyfoolish.
Many Christians now deny the actual Resurrection (a Bishop of Durham did, was it David Jenkins or…[Read more]

Yes, I know he was kept alive by a lot of money spent on him.
I feel an unfair resentment at that because of my friend. Motor neurone disease is realty horrible. To watch a victim progress towards death is upsetting enough; to endure the disease must be beyond thinking about. But I am being very unfair. The guy was pretty amazing in his…[Read more]

Well, that makes no sense.
The fact that you’re not able to briefly summarise his legacy to science leads you to outrageously accuse me of making fun of his appearance. If you’ve read me properly, then there can be no other reason for pretending that I make fun of people such as Hawking and my friend with motor neurone disease.
Jeez..typical of…[Read more]

Read me properly, rudeboy
In case you still don’t understand, you’ll have to take my word for it. I have no intention to making fun of people such as Stephen Hawking and my dear friend for having motor neurone disease. End of.
I have expressed admiration for his courage and his intellect.
I do think that he was turned into a Doctor Who figure…[Read more]

Have I?
I thought I was doing something else.
*hangs head in shame
my friend didn’t look too brilliant, either. Was I demeaning her as well?
*mortified more, as I knew her. Never met Hawking, though I did meet Ellis.

If this guy wasn’t rudeboy’s hero,

imagine the fun he would have on his face..the ears, the squashed-up face, the cravat, the teeth…
or am I getting him confused with mags, or norfolk…
or don’t they all have a go??
Don’t get me wrong. They all make me laugh sometimes with their merciless humour.

as for rudeboy..
dude, I am busy atm, but when i return I’ve been drinking gallons of water before meeting you at the Pisspot Corral for the showdown in this contest.
In the meantime, what was Hawking’s lasting legacy? This is purely interest, nothing else. I’m sure you can google it and find what I can’t find.

Ms mooose (misterq knows what innuendo lies n this),
You are such a snotty know-it-all.
How do you know I won’t be getting coffee cake??
Are you the person behind heaven’s cake counter handing the goodies out, in between sunning yourself on a divine Algarve at taxpayer’s bloody expense?? *starts to scream like a banshee

I don’t know if there’s a life after death, though the house of Lords was always said to be proof.
I’m living on the assumption that there isn’t one. It would be very nice if there were a Heaven where I once again met people dear to me who are dead.
I really don’t believe that some sort of divine justice will take place on death – that all the…[Read more]

I would have to accept it, and I don’t think there would be any less (or more) disaster and death.
There was a venerable nun called Sister Maria, I’m told, who had devoted her entire long life to Catholic observances. All she would say on her deathbed was “Goodness, I shall look a fool if it isn’t true”
