Stephen Hawking Is "Very Ill" In Hospital

C S Miller writes "Not much more to add. The BBC is reporting that 'Stephen Hawking is "very ill" in hospital.' He has had a few health scares before, and as a post-graduate he was told he didn't have much longer to live; he's now 67."

Making you what? A beggar? A loser dependant on handouts at the costs of your betters?

When the Christian god is willing to face a just court (he has, himself, apparently declared us in his own image and therefore his peers after all) on charges of Genocide, crimes against humanity, Child rape, torture, murder, trade in sex slaves (including pre-pubescent girls) and has been justly and fairly executed for such crimes then it can have a say in matters of justice.

And just for the record, resurrections mean another round of execution, not a get out card.

If I truly believed in the Christian god I, like all decent and sane human beings, would seek ways to bring down and destroy the demon king of blood, rape and death it has allegedly declared itself to be.

Religious morons of all sorts are the reason minds like that of "Mr. Hawking" (Pompous religious fool couldn't even bother with the decency to use his proper title? What a git.) are once a generation events. A religious upbringing should be punishable as severe child abuse.

Implying that Stephen Hawking is going to Hell is not malicious?
Did I miss the memo where we changed the definition of 'malicious?'

"Malice" means ill will, not merely stating that bad things might or will happen but wanting that they happen. As the AC specifically stated that he hopes that said bad things won't happen to Mr. Hawkings, he can't very well be malicious.

Then again, it is hard to imagine why anyone would had posted that on Slashdot, especially as Anonymous Coward, except for purposes of trolling.

Unfair?

What is unfair is for a perfect God to let evil go unpunished.
The punishment for rejecting an infinitely good God is infinite, nothing less is enough.
Now, nobody has to suffer like this, the offer has been made and is free to all; but God's not going to force himself on anybody.

Justifying it, endorsing it, and supporting it still make it malice.

None of which the original AC did.

"Oh, well it's unfortunate that god's going to burn mr hawking in the fires of hell, but them's the rules"

Still malice.

Indifference, actually, and not what the OAC wrote anyway.

Quit trying to justify it and grow up.

What have I tried to justify?

If you don't have the backbone for your faith, pick a new one.

Well, since you clearly don't have use for yours, Mr. Coward, maybe you give your backbone to me?

Don't you love god enough to admit he's doing the right thing flaying hawking endlessly? Don't you think his divine plan included making a genious handycaped man which would remind you that even the friendly need to burn?

If you don't have the balls for your religion, I recommend asking yourself why that is.

Last I checked, Hawkings was alive and on Earth rather than burning or being flayed in Hell, so it would be a bit early for even the most zealous people to endorse such a thing based on pure speculation. And in any case, why would being genius (or handicapped, for that matter) make a difference on what you deserve? High IQ doesn't excuse you on Earthly courts.

An Anonymous Coward talking about balls is pretty funny, in a twisted sort of way. And in any case, I don't think going with the flow would really be indicative or require testicular fortitude.

Maybe you're more humane then your faith is... and maybe you need to think about that for a while.

Whether or not I'm humane, the claim that someone who's wishing someone else won't die and go to Hell is being malicious is still absurd.

Most trolled article ever.

I've never seen so much fail in comments about a single article before.

Re:Oh dear

So, from context I'm guessing you're another individual mentally deficient enough to believe in said God?
This is a site for the intelligent or at least rational. Bugger off.

I'm not blaming God for anything. Can't blame the non-existent after all.

I'm commenting on the cluelessness of Christians regarding the contents of their own psychotic God's Wholly Babble.

And the utter mindless stupid sheeplike qualities of those who believe in a "Good God" in conjunction with "Biblical Truth"
