He would if I was God, but he doesn’t believe in it.
I’ve been told that I’m going to the other place. If Steven Hawking and Carl Sagan are there, I won’t fear an eternity of boredom. I’m reading ‘The Illustrated Brief History of Time’ and it rocks.
I’m not a strict materialist, more agnostic than atheist, but I greatly respect Steven Hawking’s courage. He had to face his own mortality before he was even out of college, and fights like an athlete every day just to keep breathing. If I were omnipotent, we’d find a cure for ALS.
I hope Steven Hawking stays well and keeps on pushing the boundaries of the universe for a very long time. And when, many years from now, he leaves this vale of tears, I hope he’s pleasantly surprised.
I like Talking Heads. I hope they are in Heaven too. Sometimes it doesn’t sound so bad to spend some time in a place where nothing ever happens.
I’ll be glad to wake up this Sunday to coffee and the New York Times, gods willing. But I feel really sorry for this guy. If the world doesn’t end on Saturday, he has spent his life savings on a mistake.

It doesn’t matter what you believe or don’t.
If there’s something after death,you’ll find out-if not,you just won’t….

…unless it’s your own belief that determines what happens to you… another layer of un-knowableness!
the easiest thing to believe is nothing, but that’s a kind of belief too.

Your point is challenging and interesting-that one’s beliefs may determine reality-heavy stuff.
I innately believe in a sentient omnipotent Creator,but I’m a little weak on the details.
I guess the part can never understand the whole.
