I really don’t care what an atheist has said and done in their life.

That is what the "Those whose faith is known to you alone" clause is for...

“As the world mourns the death of famed physicist Stephen Hawking”

It is with inane comments like this - “the world mourns” - that journalism proves itself as not about “reporting”, just looking like reporting when actually writing editorials.

“The world”? Really? The whole world is “mourning” the death of Hawking? Not at all.

The whole world of the media maybe - as they LOVED promoting him - but not the real world.

It appears that Hawking’s dalliance with the BDS movement is motivated more by his general lefty politics than by hatred. He had a lot of contacts with Israel throughout his life.

In the end, he fell in with the BDS crowd, but that is happening to a lot of otherwise intelligent people, these days. Not to excuse it, but I am not inclined to paint him with an overly broad brush.

I’ve thought he died decades ago, and they just used his mummified corpse to push the “science” (mumbo jumbo) agenda of the day...

That’s fine. Let God sort it out. In the meantime I don’t give a pea turkey damn about a man that claimed throughout his life that “there is no God’.

That sounds plausible.

He is still putting out a sequel, despite his predictions from his original work of fiction being way off base - and the media treats it as completely valid. Like it or not, he has the job.
