Rest in peace Stephen.

I don’t have to explain it?
 
Well, okay then (=\

@Darth Sonic  
To which part? The condolences for the world’s loss, or the fact that there are indeed people out there that messed up?

@wrabbit  
Wait, what?

You, and your unmade contributions to science will be missed, Stephen. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
 
That being said, it really sickens me that not only are there are people out there who think he’s being tortured for eternity for being intellectually honest, but that they think he deserves it.

@Saphire Systrine  
It would be really nice if folks could stop bringing this comment back up, and go to the forums or PMs if they want to talk to each other about religion. Otherwise, you’re just feeding the troll.

@illuminati  

 
You clearly don’t understand any context of the Bible or the meaning of its verses, you are merely using quotes that fit your narrative to prove your point. You don’t even know that there are two types of sin. You know nothing. I bet you think Leviticus says men cant have sex with other men, but you didn’t even think to consider that Leviticus was only for the Levites, a dead tribe of Isreal.

@Cirrus Light  
I feel like Twilight in my profile picture most of the time, which is why I use it. :p

Rest in peace…

@Japanese Teeth  
Well even though he might not be able to do everything that he want (because everything in this context can be quite subjective and vague) but still he did gave us a ton of insight of how our universe is. And I think from that perspective he probably satisfied with what he done.

@Japanese Teeth  

When I think of this (how many things I want to do in life), I feel like Twilight in your profile picture, heheh…
 
@Nittany Discord  

@moonchosen Well if this comment isn’t intentionally antagonizing, then I don’t know what is.
 
Actually I got upset before I realized what illuminati was saying. It was such horrific unintentilligable drivel I didn’t even recognize it despite years of religious study. Not man’s place to judge, @illuminati Matthew 7:2, “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
 
So have fun considering that when you proclaim that others are condemned.

If anyone could have done it, it would have been Pinkie.
 

 
@illuminati  
Wow. Of all the things currently on DB–all the scat and gore and vomit and so forth–I think you’re probably the most disgusting.

@Cyan Lightning  
Honestly, that’s probably the best attitude to have toward death. I doubt it’s possible to get done ‘‘everything’’ you want to do, but I’d also hope that he was satisfied.

@I, Da Witchfinder  

@PaintEdits  
Yeah, probably. It’s just sad that we lost a brilliant mind like him most likely will never be replace, but hey that’s a life for ya. People will die and born and at least he still contributed a lot of thing to humanity and I still think he is happy with what he did.

@Cyan Lightning  
Doubtful. He probably wanted to discover all the secrets of the universe that humanity’s best efforts can only offer theories. I’d like to think he was satisfied of what he accomplished in life.

 
And now I wonder if he already did everything that he want.

@I, Da Witchfinder  
That is my single favorite line from any ERB.

@illuminati  
 
I’m hardcore Catholic as well, and I too would like to say “shove it.“

@Japanese Teeth  
Amen.
 
Also, it was a late feature because it had to be elected first.

@Nittany Discord  
@Japanese Teeth  
Agreed.

Rest in Peace you husk of a man

@illuminati  
Man, don’t even start with that. I’m a Christian and I don’t think that’s the least bit appropriate. Hawking’s views on religion aside, the man dedicated his life to trying to understand the universe we lived in so that that knowledge could benefit the rest of humanity, as well as trying to make that knowledge accessible and interesting to people who wouldn’t otherwise understand it. Despite all the setbacks he faced, he never stopped trying to use his intelligence to make a better future for humanity. Whatever his religious beliefs are, his actions are honestly a lot closer to the things that Jesus actually taught than the actions of many people who actually identify themselves as Christians.
 
If God exists, I’m sure He’d take that into account.
 
Drama aside, I think it’s cool that the mods decided to feature this pic, even if it is a bit late. Hawking is one of the most influential scientists of the modern age, and we were incredibly lucky to have him around as long as we did.

@Edhelistar  
Eeyup.
 
Else why all of the randomness with quantum mechanics?

@Nittany Discord  
So, unlike Einstein thought, God does like to play dice.
