solomarineris if you cannot argue the point then just say so. You're changing the argument so you can go off on a rant about what you don't like about the Bible. I am referring specifically to Maher's claim that the "story" of Horus is "exactly" like that of Jesus. This comment he made on the View, which proves he is a complete idiot because he is stealing debunked "internet scholarship" written by idiots who know how to make powerpoint presentations, to promote his movie.

The fact that most of his fans are of the South Park variety, isn't surprising.


I'm counting the non sequiturs...

That being said, I think you're pretty much hitting the nail on the head reference their attitude. Atheists tend to be smug. I know. I'm one of them. I do, in fact, think believing in an invisible superbeing, talking to an invisible superbeing, incorporating public policy based on invisible superbeing's holy books, etc.. Is a form of psychosis that runs from mild to intense. So, I can see why you don't like us because we view you as having a form of mental disorder.

Regardless, I think we're all crazy in our own way. If one person thinks she's talking to a god, it's another stealing McCain Palin signs off of peoples' lawns. I've seen it all, and man... You don't need to be religious to be a crazy f***er. Just check out http://www.exmo-social.com to see what I mean. Holy. crap.

Yes, Maher cannot tie his shoes. His views on religion are ample proof.

You're a bigot and an idiot.


I second that,
You have no clue, what relationship some of us with the "Divine" or not.
"Left out?", "Left out?". You have no f****g clue, what "Left out" means.

I'll tell you who is "left out"......
"Left out", were my Ancestors, who built nothing but places of worship, hundreds, thousands of Churches were built in "His" holy name.
Unfortunately followers of Mohammed were a little stronger, they butchered 80% of population, deported 20% of them, like Hitler did to
"His Chosen People".
Yea, most of us lack "Divine Connection".

Oh, I am sorry, I missed the point, all those butchered people enjoying their eternal rewards, I'm sure.
But, wait, I want to make an exception for myself, I want to sign up for His eternal Hell, I want to feel 3rd dagree burn every second.

"No he's not, you are!"

Wow. I guess Maher's position is more bankrupt than I thought.

This is what you got from what I said? You have a serious reading deficiency (not that this fact is new to me).

I didn't say anything about Bill Maher. I quoted what you said, and based on that quote (not to mention the volumes of other rubbish you're written on this board), pointed out the obvious: You're a bigot and an idiot. But of course, you're too stupid to see the connection.

Thanks solar, for reminding me what kind of company I would expected to be in if I ever chose atheism. Truth doesn't matter to you guys.

And I've seen Maher get emotionally unhinged the way you are now. Scary.

And we're the ones who need to be admitted to Bellevue! LOL.

Let's see Schmo, I called Maher an idiot and a bigot.

You turn around and say I'm a bigot and an idiot.

Yep, that amounts to "No he's not, you are."

Like I said... reading deficiency/too stupid to see the connection (even after I explained it in simple terms, no less).

Exactly. And he doesn't understand why I'm calling him a bigot... and yes, an idiot.
