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

I think end will come either from our own greed or another big bang. If it is former then it will take a long time. If is later then we never know when it is going to happen. I do believe that it will end but I just don't know how or when it will end.

^ Be nice if I could have sex with you before it all ends. ^

You're not allowed to have sex in heaven. God changed the rule after one too many angel orgies ended up as a god on bottom gay fest. It's true, just read the bible

"Read the bible" he says > HA HA HA HA HA < Good one.

No where In the Bible have I read that Gears were bad.. So I say, "Let there be the Jerked & Tan"

 

[withoutrulers]

It's in the book of JD&T: Vanquish thine blubbedness with copious gears and sfw. Do not alloweth notbig status to fill thine heart. Coucheth not thine ass, for that is the road to blubbeddumb.

[withoutrulers]

[Saney]

Honestly, I'm sure taking it up the ass has more pleasure than getting my ear penetrated

Maybe I'm losing my mind, but why is it so awful or taboo to believe in a heaven, a single deity named God or anything deemed religious these days? I don't believe in a lot of what the bible says, but I do believe in God, and his son, a heaven and a hell; and yet I don't call myself Catholic.

I try to respect all people if they respect others. A quick Google offered this quote:

"Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people's suffering. On these lines every religion has more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal."
???Dalai Lama

I wonder why this thread was moved into the anything goes section?

Anyway, I read all six pages. And some of the people here posting sound like complete fools.

I moved it.

KelJu anotha tuff guy huh...pass on thru and we see how tuff u talk in person

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.

If I made an error moving the thread then please voice your opinion in a pm to me ASAP.



Or whenever you feel like it.

largepkg sums up my sentiment pretty much spot-on or 100%.

The dispute over religion just doesn't lend itself to reasonable and calm discussion, imo. "Anything Goes" seems like the place for a heated exchange.

I was engaged to a girl who told me that Jehovah's Witnesses believe that if you're married in one of their temples that you're joined in Heaven after you die for all eternity.

If I'm not mistaken she also said that smoking cigarettes and drinking ice tea were both forbidden activities for Jehovah's.

When I was a kid a bus would drive through the neighborhood and pick kids up to attend the local Church of the Nazarene. Remember someone telling us that playing cards and going to the movies was also forbidden by their church.

Dated a Catholic woman, attended mass with her, but wasn't allowed to join in the Catholic-specific activities.

And though I'm baptized, I currently only attend the Church of the Smiley.

I thought the discussion was about Hawkings comments on religion? Ahh well, it's still good regardless. I waste hours reading this shit while at 'work' - it passes the time on slow days.

It is, but any debate between religion and atheism seems to move from the topic to "I will keel you!" in no time flat.

Says alot about the kind of religious fruitcakes that roam around here.

Most bipolars I know are friggin brilliant. Many may not be educated due to circumstances of their disease, but all are brilliant. Those of us cursed with average IQs , seem to escape this for the most part.

I'm very average but in my day dreams I am a genius that is going to change the world.

 

[SFW]

Truth = You're all insignificant and will not be remembered after you die.

None of you are interesting.

If hell does exist, ill fucking see you all there.


GICH!!

I find nothing wrong in believing in a higher power, etc. just not making real world decisions based on such. women also seem to get the short end, that sounds more like the works of a man than a god. the main thing I have against religion is it is forced upon you, Blue Laws are a perfect example.

It should be illegal to force feed religious beliefs down the throats of children at an age when they are yet to aquired even the most basic reasoning skills. IMO a good time to teach children any religious doctrine would be after you've let them know Santa Claus doesn't really exist.

If you have full confidence that your religion is true then you should feel confident enough in presenting your belief system to your child at an age when they can understand the core beliefs of what they are being taught and allow them they to make up their own mind as to whether they are willing to accept that particular religion, choose another, create their own or choose to keep an open mind.

Im constantly at war with myself as I really don't enjoy stealing people's comfort blanket however when I think of these people indoctinating their children into a set of beliefs which are fueled by guilt, shame, sickness and fear it really gets under my skin.
Injecting the fear of Hell into a child's fragile mind is nothing short of child abuse.

Seriously though, which method is more ethical? We wouldnt feel right to label a child as a republican, liberal or a conservative because we realise its a decision that only the child can make therefore why should religion get a free pass in hijacking childrens beliefs before they are old enough to make up their own mind?

I realise this thread is about heaven however the amount of genuine respect it receives as a possible reality amazes me. If you believe in Heaven then deep down inside you must believe in Hell. Its sugar coated with a poison center everytime.

I gotta put a lid on these religious rants. I dont mean to be an asshole.

^^^Coming from someone who had religion forced upon them from a VERY young age, BH speaks the truth!!!

Great post.
