Stephen Hawking: There is no heaven; it's a fairy story

I wonder when the last time hawking got a boner or had his dick sucked. Probably decades. Of course he doesnt believe in heaven, his life is a living hell.
You're 100% correct. It's not like there aren't groups trying to force their beliefs on religious organizations. Or organizations of theists trying to push their agenda against religious organizations.
Yeah, only religious people get upset about stuff like that.
Atheists get upset when the religious try to foist their beliefs on others, not at the idea of people believing in monotheism. Many atheists are very tolerant, spiritual people.
Core atheists like myself simply believe in no gods of any kind. The fact that I believe the propagation of religion is both dangerous and deleterious to humanity in many cases is only proven by the actions of many religious people who use religion to justify tremendous violence and destruction in the world. Religion is not just the opiate of the masses, but sadly often a justification for overt destruction and hate. I am a card-carrying member of the American Atheist movement, and I believe strongly that the movement has done a lot of good for this country.

More people have been killed and maimed in the name of religion than anything else in human history. I didn't say that religious people were all dangerous to humanity. Some are productive members of society, and very nice, well-meaning people. Pretty much my entire family falls into this category. But if you look at the lunatic fringe connected to religion, they do far more harm than good.
Anyone else believe that to some degree humanity's downfall is knowledge? We come to believe so strongly in what we can see, touch, feel, and understand that we forget we don't know squat. Relatively speaking of course.

Actually, Kelju IS a tough guy mixed in with a bit of crazy while still remaining cool.
People can have differences of opinion. Plus in a forum where text conveys thought. Proper use of it would seem imperative.

I can agree that the lunatic fringe is good for no one.
And, based on simple statistics, I'll also agree that religious people have killed more people for the simple fact that for the last 6 to 10 thousands years there have been more religious people.
However, believing that atheists are less prone to killing is a logical fallacy. That's like the belief that woman are less prone to abusing power than men. Which in obstinately true in absolute numbers, but falls apart when you consider that women have only been allowed to have power for a short time; and when you check the per-capita numbers, the belief is clearly wrong.

What he said.
If you want people to acknowledge your opinion then yes, you do have to spell check and use correct punctuation.
You should also save the word cunt for special occasions, this is not one of them.

Your writing makes me want to be an atheist. With that sort of grammar, there can be no god.

It matters because on the Internet what you say and how you say it is all that you are.
What we say can be debated as to its merits or truthfulness, but there is no debating the failure that is poor grammar. Does it mean that every post must get an A+ from an English teacher? No, but it does mean that you should put forth at least a modicum of effort.
Poor grammar is the Internet equivalent of being a wigger and going to a wine tasting. There will indeed be a whole lot of spitting.
lol ^^^ That's how I learnt to touch type. I can still head the audio in my head now, 'dip your right pinky in the yellow pot of paint, now dip your left pinky in the orange pot of paint'.
Can knock it too much though, shit works.

No it's not. But it could be like, unicorns might exist because we can't prove they don't. Even though, it is apples and oranges.
Unicorns would be some sort of terrain mammal, something we could search for. It would be something on the surface of our planet, something palpable, something physical.
Death and what may be beyond death cannot be quantified or recorded in anyway. Completely different. People who die cannot come back and tell us what happened. However, there has been anecdotal evidence of similar phenomena occurring when people have near death experiences or people who are resuscitated. This is not proof, but it is something to consider.
Hawking is awesome, but he has no proof that there is nothing beyond death. He is ignoring science in these statements. One could say Hawking is oversimplifying what happens when a human dies for his own comfort. Maybe he doesn't want to consider the possibilities. Whatever.
I am a very evidence based person, and I think it is important to be skeptical. Hawkings claims are arrogant, in my opinion.
I agree that being Atheist is no guarantee of being non-violent. Crazy people of every ilk. Also that there are far more religious people than Atheist. My point was just that more violence has happened throughout history in the name of religion. If someone broke into our condo and threatened my wife or myself, I would definitely use extreme violence to prevent that from happening. One of the reasons I go to the gun range fairly frequently. I have no problem with violence if it is justified. I guess the problem for some comes in determining what is or isn't justifiable. Lot of very confused folks out there.

He is basically saying that heaven is a manmade concept. All life on this planet originated from single celled organisms almost 4 billion years ago. This isn't a theory in the hypothesis sense, it's a fact.
At what stage during the evolutionary process did our invisible God (whichever one you were indoctinated into believing in) implant a soul into our bodies and what makes humans so special? Every species is good at what they do and thinking happens to be our survival mechanism. We didn't just evolve from primates, we are primates and I think that's pretty cool. God is much more creative than you give her credit for.
The only reason to believe there is such thing as heaven or hell is because it's written in the bible, a book that is clearly based on fiction. To debate this fact should put any christian is a state of embarrassment.
What humans have discovered about the nature of reality belittles all scriptures yet for some reason a good majority of the the human race continue to believe myth and superstition over logic and reason. Ironically, it is the U.S. in particular who seem to be absorbed in all forms of Christianity.
The rest of the western world is dropping Christianity like a hot rock due to new information. They haven't moved onto a different religion, they just have the ability to admit that there is more answers than questions and that someday we will know more.
This video and others from this channel are brilliant and well worth the watch.
