Seriousness Light a Virtual Candle - Page 129

I'd like to light a virtual candle for the families of the 30 Iranians and two Bangladeshis who were onboard the oil liner Sanchi when it caught fire and exploded off the coast of China this week. There were no survivors, according to official sources.

A virtual candle for Ursula K Le Guin. We can ill afford to lose compassionate and intelligent people like her.

It seems Mr Rutledge has passed away. He contributed many titles to the MR Library.

Professor Stephen Hawking, physicist

A remarkable man, maybe the 'Greatest Briton' since the likes of Shakespeare and Newton.

A great thinker has gone, a great soul ascended to heaven. His contributions to the science can never be forgotten. May he rest in peace!

I'll miss his appearances on The Big Bang Theory. He was great in those episodes.

Maggie May · 03-14-2018, 02:49 PM

Very sad to hear about his passing. Rest In Peace Professor Hawking.

Actually according to him there is no Heaven. He didn't believe. It is a sad loss to the world and even sadder if he is wrong about that.

I'm a tad confused but I also think this comment is unfortunate.

Surely you as a believer wouldn't find it sad if Hawking was wrong about heaven; you must be confident he was. So I can only assume that you're implying that Hawking must be in hell because of his atheism, "sad loss to the world" notwithstanding.

I think that's unnecessary, inappropriate and offensive.

Indeed.
