Don’t forget the guy buys into evolution too:

which says people like him should be just left on the side of the road and die because he’s diseased, I mean if there were only atheist “morals” people like himself would just be left out in the woods or harvested to be objects to be used in scientific experiments. He is alive because of the Bible.

If he'd chosen your bible as the basis of his treatment, he wouldn't be here now, idiot. Are you now suggesting that all atheists needn't bother with religion or is Prof Hawking the only example you could think of?
Actually it was his godless, communist, Jesus hating, death-panel governed NHS that decided helping him was the only humane answer.

That reminds me of the teabagger rally where a man with parkinsons disease was reviled by the teabaggers for consuming taxpayers hard earned money. It also reminded me of the Republic party debate where the audience was yelling that someone with no insurance found unconcious outside a hospital should be left to die.
They did that because of the bible which says people like him should be just left on the side of the road and die because he’s diseased, I mean if there were only bible “morals” people like himself would just be left out in the woods but not harvested to be objects to be used in scientific experiments because science is against the bible. At least in their Andy Shlafly de-liberalled bible.
And Hawking is still alive because of the atheistic communist socialised medicine they have in England.
@ crimson Ghost
He's saying that it's the good Biblical values of society that have kept Hawking alive because people have cared and provided medical care for him, because, dontcha know, an atheist society without the Bible would have left him to die.
Funny, though, how the ones banging the Bible are the Republicans, who've made leaving the sick to die a part of their platform.
He is alive because of the Bible.
It's not atheists who are saying things like: people like him should be just left on the side of the road and die because he’s diseased
And why is it that it's only Christians who are saying that atheists think that people should just be left to die? I've never once heard an atheist say that if someone can't afford medicine then tough shit, but I've heard plenty of conservative Christians say it.
That's why you propose the disposal of him, while hundreds of atheists have assisted him in his daily life, and helped him achieve the closest thing possible to independent living, right? We can clearly see that you're the compassionate one, while those atheists care for nothing and no-one but themselves.
"people like him should be just left on the side of the road and die because he’s diseased"
"He is alive because of the Bible"
So, I'm guessing you're assuming adverse causality here, right? 'Cuz you kinda just said he should be dead and then claimed that people like you keep him alive.
1. Evolution describes what happens (i.e. facts), not what SHOULD happen (i.e. ethics and morality).
2. Biblical morality *does* advocate giving alms to the poor and healing the sick, in a few places. Too bad fundie Christians skip over those bits. They favor of Calvin and Zwingli's thesis that wealth and health are rewards for the Elect; by extension poor and sick people are cursed by God for their sin, and sharing wealth defies the Divine Plan. That it makes them wealthy enough to subvert the principles of democratic society is just a bonus.
"He is alive because of the Bible."
As he is today. As he was at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Paralympics:

Got that, Antisocialist ? Good. Now, remember the 2012 London Olympics previously? In it's opening ceremony, there was a celebration of the National Health Service, a Socialist institution (that you lot in the US are so Anti - are you not...?!). It is that which has kept him alive, not a book of fairytales.
He's an Atheist. The NHS is Socialist . It's funded by taxpayers such as yours truly: an Atheist . There's a lot of us in this very secular country.
Because, I mean, it's not as if [i]only[/i] Christians have the monopoly on morals...! [/hyper-sarcasm]
Really, because I'm damn sure that if it was up to the Bible, the only treatment he'd be given for his illness is prayer, or an exorcism to drive out the demons of the illness within him.

There do, in fact, exist atheist cripple-the-state capitalists who think it is more evil to have a taxpayer-funded welfare state than to have people in an industrialized country dying of starvation.
Their numbers are few compared to the fine, upstanding, conservative Christians who say "I got mine, fuck the poor! I don't want to pay more in taxes for those bums!"
That wasn't my point, anyway. My point is that atheists rarely if ever call for the mandatory euthanasia or at the very least ill treatment of the sick or poor, but Christians are the ones always bringing that up as being a tenet of evolution or atheism. They're the ones who are always mentioning it up and then claiming that we're the ones who want it.
Are you suggesting that atheists would dispose of one of the greatest scientific minds alive today just because of his condition?
You're forgetting that it's people like you, Antisocial, who make comments like that, dickbag. We'd never be so heartless.
They're the ones who are always mentioning it up and then claiming that we're the ones who want it.
To find out what the extreme right wing really wants, simply pay attention to what they accuse their enemies of doing.
"which says people like him should be just left on the side of the road and die because he’s diseased"
Obviously, Antisocial doesn't see the value of a brilliant mind. Hawking contributes a hell of a lot more to society than douchebags like the OP.
He is alive due to secular compassion (health care) and medical progress (science).
A few hundred years ago the "loving Christians" would be the first to call his condition a punishment from God and cast him out or kill him.
I'm an SLP, which is one of the professions that works with ALS (communication) and an atheist. I believe in evolution, but also in helping people with problems. This idiot isn't just antisocialist, he's antisocial, because he has no idea of the power of society. We care about each other because we're social animals, not because of some stupid fiction. Oh wait, except he doesn't really care about people.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
