Is this an Atheist convention?

Hawkings quotes from Augustine, and the audience laughs. (the audience must be all dummies if they didn't know he is quoting Augustine)

“What was God doing before the divine creation? Was he preparing hell for people who asked such questions?”

Big Bang without God, ...where have I heard this before? Is this a re-run?


Stephen Hawkings *still* believes in God, doesn't he? He cannot get that Guy out-of-his-mind.



The Starmaker


Why do you think God put him in that wheel chair? There is a reason, did you know that?? It's where he belongs..people
like him all they do is build atomic bombs.

According to him, you got a thousand years to live.

Well look at the Headline: Stephen Hawking lays out case for Big Bang without God

Is that about cosmology or about atheism?


His introduction is about atheism

“What was God doing before the divine creation? Was he preparing hell for people who asked such questions?”

Why does he want to know what God was doing before the divine creation? That's a stupid question. God was watching TV!!!!
I'm guessing he got bored with what they were showing on TV.

Now he can watch American Idol!

Download movies...

Come on already, He was simply bored!


The Starmaker



He probably had only one channel on Tv...

Now he's got cable!



You're on TV, get it?

xxein: Do you promote a God or deny such an existence? I don't
really care about your personal beliefs but what taints them?

And now I see you in your final ignorance. Play in your mud. I don't

Maybe, but his name is "Hawking," no "s" on the end, dumbass. I think
you're probably conflating the name with that of Richard Dawkins, the
*other* Pope of Atheists.

Well I do not recall Fred Hoyle mentioning a god when he coined this
comical phrase. (but then he was a detractor of the theory)


>Stephen Hawkings *still* believes in God, doesn't he? He cannot get that Guy out-of-his-mind.

Are you sure it is not the* notion* there is such a thing as god that
he is concerned with?

We know this notion exists indeed there are thousands of such notions
all like 'my father house with many rooms' all looking alike with many
twisty passages.

>Why do you think God put him in that wheel chair?

I think no such thing.


> There is a reason, did you know that?? It's where he belongs..people

Well we have already placed Hawkins on the list of great Britons
alongside Shakespeare, Darwin, Newton and Adam Smith but whether he
will be interned in Westminster Abbey alongside such greats as
Darwin we will have to wait and see.

i guess he will end up pictured on our bank notes which would
be nice.

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Augustine_of_Hippo

and this is Stephen Hawking

He's lying. He cannot stop talking and thinking about God.

There is no such thing as an athiest, ..there are only people *claiming*
to be atheist.

But deep down inside....they cannot get God out of their hearts.

They are at war with themselves.

Have you notice, atheist don't mention...The Devil? Cause atheist want
to go to Heaven.

You were talking about Stephen Hawkings, as I said I have no idea who
that is. Then suddenly with no explanation you start talking about a
different chap called Stephen Hawking, I've heard of him (obviously) but
don't know what he has to do with the bloke ^up there^.

Is it REALLY so hard to comprehend?

Oh my, you're one of those theists who are so terrified that we're
right that you have to try to convince yourself that we're just
pretending to not believe in your silly Bronze Age myth. How amusing.

Hawkings was a misspelling, I think they were talking about Stephen

Weren't you're about to say..."Oh my God"? No one says "Oh my," anymore...

You got to let that "God" out. You cannot hide...everyone here can see the God inside you
burning to get out from within.

Try, "OH MY GAWD"...it doesn't matter...we all know deep down inside you're Love God.


God be with you, my child.

God lives inside you. God lives inside of us all.

You have eternal life.

If you're going to talk bull-shit about someone the very least you can

There's as much evidence for consciousness persisting after death as
there is for a god, i.e., none at all. There's only the mind, which
is the product of the brain. When the brain is ill or injured, the
personality changes. When the brain dies, consciousness winks out.
No heaven. No hell. Just oblivion, which is nothing to be afraid of.

There is no evidence of either a god or a devil. The reason we don't
mention the devil is that is, essentially, just another god: a being
of begotten of fantasy and ignorance, banished by the bright light of
reason.

See? I told you so. The only problem is that while the above is an
excellent synopsis of the beliefs of Social Darwinism, it's nothing but
imaginative assertion with no effort to examine any evidence suggestive
of other ideas. In other words the above is nothing but religious belief
presented as such. It's true because the faithful SAY it is true.

Obviously your assertion of "no evidence" is clearly based on ignorance
either natural or chosen. Of course, you expect me to assert the polar
opposite to your faith, but in science that isn't how it works.

To say that there is "no" evidence of the persistence of consciousness
after death or for functions of mind beyond those of the brain is simply
a statement that you have no knowledge of what has been studied in these
matters. There is much evidence that has been accumulated and developed
that provide strong suggestions that your simplistic views are dead wrong
even if politically correct in certain circles.

The fact that this body of evidence has not established credibility for
OTHER religious theories does not discredit the observations. It only
discredits your assumptions.

Attempting to prove a negative with mere bluster and personal assertion
is hardly convincing debate.

And yet when your brain developed your consciousness winked in?

If it can wink in once why can't it wink in again?

Of course there is evidence of a god and a devil. God is positive, the Devil is negative. Plus, Minus. +, -. Good, Evil.

You might as well just say there is no evidence of positive and negative.

Every person born is incorporated a positive and a negative. The positive is on one side, the negative is on the other.
The good is on one side, the bad is on the other.
God is on your right side, and the devil is on your left side.
Your right side is your positive side. Your left side is your negative side.
There is only Love and Hate, there is no inbetween.

There is only a positive charge and a negative charge.

If you're looking for evidence of God, you need to look inside you.


(on the right side)

no, no, no, no...a little bit more to the left...that's it.

It's very simple...God is good.

If there is
no god no devil
then there is
no good or evil
no positive or negative
no right or wrong
no plus or minus
no + or -
no good or bad
no love or hate

God is not bad. God is not evil. God is not negative. God is not wrong.


God is good.
God is positive.
God is Love.

Who is "The Starmaker?" (Please clarify.)

If a deity permanently confines any able-to-walk person into a
wheelchair without their consent, then that deity is cruel and
oppressive.

Are you implying that those who engage in the activity of "building
atomic bombs" are malevolent? (My own anecdotal experience with people
who work with this type of technology is that they're not malevolent.)

You should be more concern somebody using god to get into your sister panties.


In Israel, whenever they want to kill their neigbors women and children at lands
near them, they dig up Jesus Christs artifacts and say, "We found Jesus grave!"
Then they go about killing their neigbors.


Everyone uses God to get into girls panties. Whats wrong with that? I don't even think it's against the law.

And since God lives in us all, He is one of the guys pulling down your sister's panties.

take a sheet of white paper and cover half of your face while looking in the mirror. Your bad side is the side that

Yes. In both cats and dogs, the gene that triggers the formation of
the inner ear is linked, oddly enough, to the gene that specifies coat
and eye color. If the gene for coat and eye color is turned off, then
the inner ear never forms and you get a white, blue-eyed animal who is
stone deaf.

We're talking about God here...He is a very complex individual.

You haven't told me which side is your pretty side! Your right side or your left side?
I'm trying to help you find God within you. In order for me to "Present some *evidence*",
I have to give you His location..His exact location.

He's on your Good side!

Your positive side
Your Pretty side

In order for me to "Present *evidence*",
you need to be able to recognize Him when you look at Him.

I have to help you recognize what God looks like, otherwise
you won't see Him even if you're looking at Him.

And the best way to help you see Him is to first
tell you where exactly he is located...on your pretty side!!!!

Did you bother to look????

Okay, maybe this stuff is a little too hard.

I'll make it easy for you...

God lives inside us all.

You can recognzie Him easily because He is Good, ...He looks Good.

Your pretty side is on your Right side. Your Good side is on your right side.

God lives, reside, inhabits, dwells on your right side of you, not your left side.

Take your lipstick and draw a line from the top of your head in the middle and
draw a straight line all the way down. You know can see your right side and your left side.

God is on the right side!

Take a look!



The Starmaker


He's on *everybody's* right side!

Do you have a boyfriend Brenda? Take a white sheet of paper and scotch tape it to half of his face.
Look at his right side, then cover the right side and look at his left side.

I have to warn you first....what you will see on his left side might frighten you.

No "proof" is required to dismiss an unsupported existential claim.

Can you imagine this this Girl telling me not to use "pretty side" and "living in us", telling me what
*criterias* to use to define God! The Audacity!....


I'm the fuckin God Expert here!!! What does an *atheist* know about God, they don't even believe in one!!!

God is the consciousness of the universe.


The nerveeee, i'm telling you....these these women...when a guy slaps a woman on her face, ...to to make sure she is obedient,
he takes his right hand (the good side of himself) and slaps her left side of here face, (the bad side of herself).

You have to contain the Bad. Because...sometimes the bad takes over, and wins. Good doesn't always win, but more times than Bad does.

We all have out good and bad.

Good is on the right side, Bad is on the left side.

I like to watch that TV show Cheaters...and when the girl goes after the Cheater, she always tries to slap his cheating side.

And she always hits the left side...

the badass side.

God will always tell you when you start to cheat, "Why are you cheating on her?"

And you have to ignore Him if you want to have some fun, youknowwatimean?

I think we both know that the word "atheist" is blurry as to
whether it means, with regard to a given person, "I believe
that God does not exist" or "I do not believe that God exists."

I don't know which camp Brenda is in.

You've been around long enough to know that the "blurriness" is
because theists who can't think outside their religious paradigm
imagine they get to define atheists as though their god were real
_and_ that we believe it doesn't exist.

We're simply people who aren't theist and cannot be described
according to theistic presumptions that are only granted inside the
theist's religious paradigm.

That would be like Hindus defining Christians in terms of believing
Krishna doesn't exist instead of what they actually are.

Yes - most dictionaries include both definitions, and yes - there is
argument over them.

But it's theists arguing for one and atheists actually describing
ourselves for the other.

If only the hard of thinking could think outside the box they would
accept that we are outside and cannot be described as if we were
inside it, and all their misconceptions and misrepresentations would
go away.

Brenda is either in the:
A: 'I do not believe gods exist' camp
or
B: "I do not believe gods exists and also believe they do
not exist' camp

It would be illogical to believe gods do not exist whilst at
the same time believe they do exist!

but it is perfectly logical to not believe gods exists without
actually believing they do not exist.

People who believe there are gods have a special word
to describe them. That word is 'theist'

Those of us without any god beliefs need no special
word to descibe us we are simply 'not theist' (which is often
abbreviated to a- theist or atheist)

That is because believing gods exists is a belief
that you adopt after you are born usually in adolescence
and from parents who also believe. Increasing people
are abandoning such beliefs when they are more mature
and returning to the natural state they were born with.

Very few people adopt a god belief relgion in maturity
(where they had none before).

If you think you are now a mature person you might
like think about that and consider dropping something
for which you can offer no justification. You were
asked above for some and dodged the question. Think about
why you needed to do that.

I think it should go without saying...
that the Left side is the Bad side..
the negative side
the evil side

The Left side is..The Devil.


The Devil lives inside of everyone.

Take a piece of paper
cover the right side
and you will see The Devil.

Cover the left side and you will see God.

God is Good, the Devil is Bad...
i mean this is simple stuff.


Now, how can it be possible for anyone to be an atheist if God is right there inside of him, ...on his right side?


Someone posted here in this thread that he was pretty on both sides...that's IMPOSSIBLE!!!

The Devil isn't pretty. In fact The Devil is completely Evil.

Scary too!

You have people in the 'scientific community' who have inside them, good and evil...
the evil part of them are the ones that build atomic bombs, computer viruses, and medicine that kill people.

Ever see those commercials on TV of Good drugs that can help you, read the disclaimer...or they say it very very fast.

Okay, this from dictionary.com:

"Atheist, agnostic, infidel, skeptic refer to persons not inclined
toward religious belief or a particular form of religious belief. An
atheist is one who denies the existence of a deity or of divine
beings. An agnostic is one who believes it impossible to know anything
about God or about the creation of the universe and refrains from
commitment to any religious doctrine. "

And really, I find the distinction razor-thin, anyway.

But I think I should apologize for being disingenuous myself, really.
There is no scientific proof that God exists, and there is no
scientific proof possible that God does not exist. To the best of my
knowledge, at least.

Brenda is in the "I do not believe that God exists" camp. I lack a
belief in any deities because I have never seen any evidence that they
*do* exist. I believe that makes me a "weak" atheist.

You don't actually believe *everything* that exist is for...nothing, 'about' nothing?

I gave proof, what more proof do you require? You want me to send Him over to you house and walk through the door without knocking? You'll\
claim He's David Copperfield! You couldn't handle the proof. You cannot even dscribe what the proof should be!

He's right inside you, what do you want...Pictures? Is that it, you want to see a picture of God? Will that satisfied you?

Cause I have no problem uploading photos of what God looks like.



The Starmaker


But first you got to be able to recognize Him when you see Him. God is Good....do you know "what good looks like"?

I mean, do you know "what Good looks like"??

I'll even show you what Bad looks like, ...he looks like the Devil.

What else would Bad look like?....


That is why when that baby in Brazil was born with two heads and the doctors asked:
"If both their brains are functioning, how are we going to choose which head to remove?"


The answer was simple for me, the left head, it's the Devil!!!

Arguably, there is also a third position: the "Never thought
about it one way or the other" attitude. That's people who
couldn't give a toss either way because they never worked up
the energy to consider the question in the first place. I
do believe I have met folks like that: so caught up in the
immediacy of their own lives that those "bigger questions"
are an unwanted intrusion into their busy life. If asked,
they will look and go "ah, whatever, dude" and continue
right on with what they were doing.

Well, according to the current definitions, that would be agnosticism.
And I'm starting to lean towards Sam Harris' notion that agnosticism
is de facto atheism.

Theism is the active position of belief. Atheism is the lack of
belief. Anti-theism is the active position of disbelief.

For those people that don't give a toss... none of this has meaning
anyway, so as far as the philosophical arguments go, we're just as
batshit loony as theists for arguing at all.

What they haven't considered yet are the consequences of "live and let
live", and I fully accept that I'm in a truly lucky position of
privilege to even begin to talk about this kind of thing.

The problem with accepting irrational thinking which doesn't
result in antisocial behavior is that it gives credence to those
that use irrational thinking to justify their antisocial behavior.

Yup, pretty much. Anything else is argument from incredulity.

That would be a good start. Of course, you can't do this, but I'd
appreciate it if you'd try.

I think I can tell the difference between David Copperfield and the
creator of the universe, time, matter, energy, and everything we know
of.

Here's the thing: *if* a god actually exists, and *if* it wants me to
"believe in" it, and it's omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and
omnibenevolent as advertised, then it already knows what it would take
to convince me. The fact that such evidence is not forthcoming means
either (1) no god exists; or (2) one exists, but doesn't care whether
I believe in it or not.

Of course other things exist. Giant sequoia trees, and mayflies, and
continental drift, and algebra all exist, and have nothing to do
whatsoever with either hate or love.

Not true. There's a whole raft of people whom I know but do not have
an opinion about either way.

"God" is an idea between your ears, nothing more.

The Devil is God's exact equal.

So you say, but you have yet to come up with even an iota of evidence
for any of your assertions.

Or its near-cousin, argument from "I find the alternative too
horrible to contemplate."

By the way, Starmaker is an inveterate troll. You might want to
consider not letting him eat any more of your time.
