RIP Dr. Stephen Hawking

[Liverpooldawg]

Finger pointing to the “other side”.... Fox and MSNBC has ruined this country. It’s incredible. On every platform I’ve read today, Christians are gloating about his death. What that has to do with any side is beyond me.

All Christians?

[Bully13]

I?m gonna type this one more time. I?d suggest reading it slowly: On every platform I have read, Christians are gloating over his death. That is my opinion and you don?t have to believe it, I don?t care. That does not equal = all Christians. I am a Christian and am not in this camp. In this thread posters response has been, ?Well, the other side...? and ?did Billy Graham get a thread?. That adversarial rhetoric and justification for any inappropriate comment with some excuse about ?the other side? is 100% absolutely on Fox and MSNBC. People accept justification and spin as fact as long as it fits their personal feelings and beliefs. That has filtered its way into everyday American life. It?s absolute insanity and this thread proves it.

This is I believe so you cannot spin it:
-Hawkings made incredible contributions to science. He was a genius
-If he died never accepting Christ into his life, that?s a shame. It?s an opportunity we missed as American Christians.

Christians gloating over his death. that has so much wrong to it I don't even know where to begin. Just because someone posts an incorrect statement "Billy Graham didn't get the same sized memorial thread as Hawking" doesn't mean gloating over Hawking's death.

All Christians?

You can tell people’s religion by the font they use**

Pope Francis has clarified that atheists go to Heaven if they're good people, so Stephen Hawking's probably good. No need for any gloating by any "side"

What does he know about Christianity? Catholics ain't even reeeeeeal Christians, anyhow!**

?We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.? - Stephen Hawking

I think this thread pretty much confirms his theory.

I'm kind of at a standstill with you. I'm not totally sure you know what gloat means. Again, go read TD political board, this thread from the beginning, and major news outlets announcements on both FB and twitter. You'd see a lot of Christians gloating (And holy mother mary that doesn't mean ALL christians in the world since ya'll cannot comprehend that)

Here is the definition of gloating:

contemplate or dwell on one's own success or another's misfortune with smugness or malignant pleasure.
"his enemies gloated over his death"
synonyms:delight, relish, take great pleasure, revel, rejoice, glory, exult, triumph, crow

I would like to know where he got that info... certainly not the Bible. Sounds like he watches oprah too much

Do you believe this? Just asking.

You would think the pope would not directly contradict what Christ said... you know, the guy that Christianity is named after.


Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. - John 14:6

except God and Christ said otherwise. other than that, you are spot on.

[BeastMan]

The pope did not say that. It was a fake meme circulated on FB

Here is a pretty good discussion on this very topic, written by a New Testament professor and theologian.

The meme was fake, but he's talked about atheists, as well as non-Christians, at length as it relates to salvation.

thanks for clarifying that Pope Francis' opinion is the true Word of God.
