I know they have to make him recognisable, but if I were Stephen Hawking I'd be pissed if I got to heaven and still had motor neurone disease.

I can't help but think that most disabled people would wave their disability away with a magic wand if they could. Especially something as severe and lovely as Hawking had.

I get the sentiment, but if everyone has to remain in eternity with ALS or lymphoma or bedridden or however they were during the latter stages of their life, then they may as well just put horns on St. Peter and call it a day. Same goes for the thing about whether people are forever the age that they die or forever the age that they were happiest and whether its ageist to say that someone wouldn't be old in Heaven if their late decades loving sucked. Maybe they should just go the route of the original depictions and do a ton of hallucinogens before depicting him as a face with twelve wings radiating cuboids.

On the one hand Hawking absolutely hated his disability and there's no doubt he would have gotten rid of it if there was an option to. On the other, he simply saw his body as a machine with failing parts, so he'd probably find the idea of being able bodied in death to be laughable.

Guy was an atheist so he probably would find it weird ending up in heaven anyway.

What exactly is his disability going to stop him doing in Heaven anyway? Is there a darts game he won't be able to take part in?

Cloud Potato posted:Guardian: This one stumped me, I have to say. The actual wikipedia page on the Hunt painting was helpful: quote:In the Royal Academy exhibition catalogue Hunt wrote that "the scene was painted at Oosdoom, on the margin of the salt-encrusted shallows of the Dead Sea. The mountains beyond are those of Edom." He painted most of the work on location in 1854, but completed the work in London in the following year, adding some touches in 1856 before it was exhibited at the academy in that year. Though Rowson doesn't seem to be identifying Corbyn with the scapegoat, exactly. Allied with, perhaps, placed in the same position, but the goat remains separate- identified with the Jewish community? Provocative, at any rate.
