Lady Checkmate's headline: "Lost, Confused and Foolish Man Finds Out he was Wrong (but it's too late for him): Stephen Hawking, famed physicist, dead at 76"
(Fox News link, which does not call Hawking lost, confused, foolish OR wrong, follows: http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018/03/14/stephen-hawking-famed-physicist-dead-at-76.html )

Lady Checkmate:
My heart weeps for him, because we know where he is, unless he changed his ways before he passed.
Psalm 14 (KJV)
14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
Sadly (if he didn't get right with God before her passed, and I'm weeping as I type this), a very foolish man just found out he's been wrong ALL of these years and now wishes he could share Truth, Jesus Christ with those he loves so that they could avoid an eternity separated from God, in hell. Selah.

Oh, fuck....of course she's gotta jump on the "Hawking's not an atheist anymore" bandwagon. Chalk up another one for the "reasons Lady Checkmate is a horrible person" list, I guess.
and I'm weeping as I type this
I don't believe that for one second.
As for the "hey Mr. atheist" thing....doesn't she realize many atheists were believers at one point? Probably mostly Christians, too, at least in this part of the world.
Oh, well, at least she's not trying to twist something he said to make it sound like he did believe in God, like I saw some people saying before he died, usually with his "then we would know the mind of God" quote. Funny how we're not hearing from those people now...
Wow! I never thought of that! What if god is real?!?
My mind is totally blown! This is something that I've never heard before!
Oh, wait. Nope. Just Pascal's Wager again. Shall I find my 11-year-old child to point out the many flaws in that argument?
Bible quotes: First, you have to provide some reason why we should accept that book as an authority on anything.
Denial: We deny a belief in gods because there is no evidence to support such a belief.
Evasion: Ever watch a theist try to explain why slavery is wrong, shrimp is good, and Pharaoh was the bad guy?
Mockery: Well, y'all make it just too damn easy.
Deliberate misrepresentation: That's your bailiwick. See also: Evasion.
Expletives: Because sometimes, there's no way to argue with a fucking twit that brings up shitty PRATT like Pascal's Wager. You fucking twit.
Harassment: Yeah, it exists on both sides. Chances are, you leave them alone, and they'll leave you alone. Of course, that means you'd have to stop insisting that everyone follows your rules.
Pascal's Wager never convinced anyone. Anyone who wasn't already a Christian, that is.
The conservative Christians really are letting their hatred of science show with all this thinly-veiled celebratory joy they have any time a famous scientist dies. The sad part for them is that science marches on regardless, continuing to find answers to questions about the universe. Answers which don't include a god.
And any god which would punish someone like Stephen Hawking with eternal torment is not a god I would want to worship anyway.
Mr Christian
What if there is a God?
What if Hell is real?
What if Salvation is real?
That means that you are most likely going to Hell as well for choosing the wrong denomination. And even if you are "saved," that means you'll be an eternal cog in Yahweh's worship machine. You won't even be you because the Bible implies that Christians will have their memories of Earth erased.
Which means if the Bible is true, Christians are fucked as well.
What if there is a God?
What if Hell is real?
Well, as the burden of proof is on you , better get cracking on asking him to appear to us a la Morgan Freeman in "Bruce Almighty", and create a dimensional portal to this place called 'Hell', then. Hey, if your 'Fiction' is just as good as what I'm about to show you, then you'd better pray that anything you 'claim' is exactly that: Fiction:

Because Dr. Samuel Hayden - who has beaten Death: and therefore your 'God' via cheating terminal brain cancer by uploading his entire mind & personality into an android body of his own design & made of indestructible materials: with an eternal power source - has, via the Doom Marine, conquered Hell; and via him, now possesses the Crucible Hellblade: a weapon of more than infinite power has already destroyed Satan: and with his knowledge of interdimensional travel, what's to stop him from making Heaven his bitch too...?!
What if that produced by id Tech 6 is a viewport to the future? What if "DOOM IV" is real ...?!
Checkmate, Lady.
'Teach the Controversy', don't forget. If you want to claim that your 'What Ifs' are 'True', therefore so are all others. And you don't have the right to think otherwise, if you want your 'Truth' to be considered 'credible' in any way. Ergo, that created by id Software is more than just a game. Especially with versions using VR headsets for the PS4 & PC: and as founder & former CEO of id Software John Carmack is now the Chief Programmer for Oculus VR, therefore...!
Lady C 's making a career outta projection and representing the lamest arguments of the last century.
Since she working with many years of being schooled and refusing to learn I know she's aware the shutting out and yelling over logic is a feature of fundamentalism. They teach their children to ignore any rebuttle to their fable and years later you still have adults doing that very thing. theres loads of footage with their flock doing this.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
