I was kind of trembling for hours afterwards… it really was a shock."The documentary maker has been open in the past about his atheism, but one Irish person was left so angry by some of Stephen's comments that he took a blasphemy case against him.While appearing on an RTÉ television show in Ireland called 'The Meaning of Life' with presenter Gay Byrne, Stephen was asked what he would say to God (if there is one) at the pearly gates."Bone cancer in children, what's that about? How dare you? How dare you create a world where there is such misery that's not our fault?" he said.
