God suffering existential crisis after meeting Stephen Hawking

[Soph0571]

Following the passing of the late Professor Stephen Hawking reports from Heaven today indicate that God is suffering an existential crisis having been defeated by Hawking’s logic.

God is understood to have personally popped down to say Hi and joke about the whole atheism thing, but following a brief private chat with the revered Professor, God appeared to wander away looking confused.

According to prominent angels God has since been wandering about muttering, “But I could swear I created it. Yes, there was a Big Bang from the kitchen around the same time but that was just coincidence – wasn’t it?

1. Actually, if God meets with Hawking that sorta blows that whole atheist thing away....

More likely, Hawkings would say.....oops!

2. Humor is sort of like religion.

You have to toss out logic and reason to get it.

3. Yeah, but the joke gotta be funny in the first place.

"God is dead !" Nietzsche

"Nietzsche is dead !" God

That one ain't too good either, but what the hell.

4. I believe it would be more like this...

5. Well, now...

I guess he told him...

Everyone should watch this.

[NeoGreen]

17. Have you seen this...

...

A speech by a Rabbi, as related by Simon Wiesenthal in his play God on Trial and presented as a movie by the BBC.

[NeoGreen]

19. And this...

...which is the essence of my arguments in regards to religion and god:

25. Now that's the sort of "sermon"

I would venture out to listen to on a Sunday morning. Very refreshing!

[MineralMan]

6. Actually, there's no chance of that, which is the point of the joke.

Do you really think you're going to have a chat with some deity after you die? Really?

[ollie10]

7. My point was simple

Hawkins was an atheist. If he were indeed talking to God, that means God exists. Hence, oops!

I was not saying that God exists or that we would talk to God after death. But go ahead and ponder that if it interests you

[MineralMan]

8. But you see, it's a freaking joke. You laugh at jokes.

That's what you do. Here's another one:

A famous atheist dies, and ends up at the Pearly Gates:

Atheist: "Well, I'll be damned."
God: "Indeed you will."

Pascal's Wager is simplistic stupidity. When an atheist makes a joke like that, you laugh. You don't get all nonsensical. It's a freaking joke. We tell them all the time.

Besides, it's HAWKING, not Hawkins. Joke's on you, I guess.

9. you don't have to be so condescending....

telling me that you laugh at jokes......man, how do you learn to be so condescending? and why would you want to?

I was simply replying to the headline that God would have an existential crisis to meet an atheist. Seems to me that if there would be an existential crisis, it would be on the part of the guy who didn't think God existed

[MineralMan]

10. That's true. I don't have to.

Like most things, it's a choice.

[ollie10]

11. Right you are. You choose to be that way.

Everyone just loves a condescending person!

[MineralMan]

12. Irony is funny, isn't it?

[ollie10]

13. I see little productive reason to continue. Have a nice day.

[Mariana]

15. Only to those who recognize it.

[Voltaire2]

26. There is very little evidence that free will exists.

[marylandblue]

14. You don't seem to have gotten the joke.

[ollie10]

16. I got the joke. I was commenting on the headline.....

There was another unintended joke I pointed out. Oh well.

[marylandblue]

20. I think you have to work on your delivery a little

[ollie10]

21. I guess so

[Mariana]

18. Many Christians really don't appreciate jokes about God

and consider such jokes to be highly offensive. I don't know if that's what's going on here.

[ollie10]

22. And you turn the joke around, the atheists get highly offended

whodathunk

[Mariana]

23. The atheists get highly offended? Really? Every one?

Pray tell us how you have divined this.
