Heaven is a 'fairy story' says Stephen Hawking

Physicist Stephen Hawking has dismissed religion once again as he deemed heaven a "fairy story" aimed at appeasing those afraid of death.

The author of 1988 international best-seller "A Brief History of Time" said in an interview with The Guardian that his views were partly influenced by his battle with motor neuron disease.

"I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first," he told the newspaper in an interview published on Monday.

"I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."

Hawking's stance on religion has hardened since the publishing of his seminal work.

Previously, he wrote that the laws of physics meant it was simply not necessary to believe that God had intervened in the Big Bang.

He wrote in A Brief History ... "If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for then we should know the mind of God."

In his 2010 book, "The Grand Design" he said the 1992 discovery of a planet orbiting another star other than the Sun helped deconstruct the view of the father of physics Isaac Newton that the universe could not have arisen out of chaos but was created by God.

"That makes the coincidences of our planetary conditions -- the single Sun, the lucky combination of Earth-Sun distance and solar mass, far less remarkable, and far less compelling evidence that the Earth was carefully designed just to please us human beings," he writes.

Since 1974, the scientist has worked on marrying the two cornerstones of modern physics -- Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which concerns gravity and large-scale phenomena, and quantum theory, which covers subatomic particles.

IMO, Religion is nothing more than a control system to keep the sheeple on the reservation......Stephen Hawking agrees. Not bad company to have on an idea.

This garbage has been posted before. & actually, the "religion is a control mechanism" arguement originated & was propagated by your controllers, who hate God & morality. You felll for their tripe.But there is still time to seek truth.

Coming from Hawking I wouldn't call it garbage. If you know of another Human who has a better understanding out our world and universe please tell us who he is.

The fact that you disagree with Hawking doesn't make your "faith based" ideas valid vs Hawking's fact based ideas.

(contd from below), rape, steal, lie, etc serves no 'controlling' purpose, but rather benefits all the world.

Actually I don't even know who Hawking is.The notion that religion (moral law) is to "control the masses" is propogated by the very elite tyrants who we oppose & who seek to destroy goodness,& liberty.Encouraging people to love one another & not murder,

Encouraging people to love one another & not murder, rape, steal, lie, etc serves no 'controlling' purpose, but rather benefits all the world.

Then why did the 'church' "murder, rape, steal, lie, etc"?

It was the elites best, most useful tool to control the masses. It's still dangerous, but it's losing its effectiveness.

The church is comprised of fallible humans, sinners who often do the wrong things.That people are sinners doesnt negate the need for moral law, it only proves it!Also, there is a conspiracy to destroy & discredit the church from within.

Being a fallible human is not a 'sin'. It's being a human.

That people are sinners doesnt negate the need for moral law, it only proves it!

You don't need the jews to tell you what's moral, then or now. Morality is not based on the jew 'god', who is one of the most immoral constructs of all time. If you don't believe me, just read the bible. Try living by the bible and see how long you live in freedom. You can't do it. You'll either end up in prison or dead yourself.

Remember, it's all or nothing, right? Either it's 'gods' infallible word or it isn't. Either you live it or you don't. Are you a heretic? Do you choose what to do and believe? You know that heretic means to choose, to make a choice. Your own church does its best to forbid you the ability to make a choice.

Also, there is a conspiracy to destroy & discredit the church from within.

Satanic infiltrators? lol. They aren't needed. Really, we Satanists are not as powerful as some make us out to be. We are a tiny minority, fractured into many splinter groups, many "high priest(ess)" ankle-biting punk kids nipping at each others heels, with lots of ego to go around. The church is destroying itself from within, by christians, through their own actions. And it's about time.

(contd) writings acknowledge their plan of infiltration from within.Not of Luther's protestant church.The real church.Read ALTA VENDITA.What do you think all these perv fag priests came from? satanists.The prince of darkness & father of lies.

I didn't say that being endowed with fallible human nature is itself a sin.I said that sin is not an indictment of Christianity.As far as the admitted "satanist"/freemasonic conspiracy against their enemy, the Catholic church, that is old news.Their own w

Silly me. I thought they came from sexual repression of the priests and nuns instigated by the church. Only the heretics can get married. Of course the church then uses fear of excommunication of the heretic (and the resultant eternal hell, torture etc) to get them back in line.

It's funny to me how "the devil made me do it" argument is used by the church to cover for their own actions. And to COVER UP their own actions. Just blame Satan and His Infernal Majesties "evil" minions, and carry on with business as usual...

Is the catholic church the Church of Satan? Are they all "in on it"? Is that the organization that you belong to?

If it was a Satanic church, there'd be no kiddie diddling in it. That's for sure. We're more moral than the xtian church.

That is untrue. In fact, those who worship an evil entity do pretty much everything they can get away with in terms of emulating their master's lust of excess, perversions, and take pleasure in causing other people's misfortune.

They feel they are gods unto themselves, and have the right to do WHATEVER they feel, including causing harm to others.

And as far as satanic child abuse, that is a documented fact, not a fairy tale.
