Is Bill Maher serious?

[_christopher]

Maher is just one of many atheists who are so pissed off at life because they haven't had an experience with the divine.

I could be wrong, but it is my understanding the Maher is not an atheist, but somewhere between a deist and agnostic, with a strong dislike to organized religion.

Do you care if what you just said is true?

Very much so. Can you prove me wrong? Please do. I beg you.

It's not like I just linked to a website with tons of references to religion and Egyption scholars who note the parallels between the Christian myth and the Horus myth in my last post.

You're right. It's not like that at all. Your website said Jesus was born in a cave! ROFL. Now there's some scholarship for ya! And Achryra and Massey are not "Egyption" scholars.

Zeitgeist deserves more attention than your lousy dismissal of it.

It is dismissed by any scholars worth his salt. No scholar of religion today believes Zeitgeist is a credible production of scholarly quality. It was thrown up on teh web by some conspiracy theorizing idiots and consumed happily by the uneducated. Even when it turns out that it won't stand the test of scrutiny, you're still defending it. Amazing. But then I realize you're just a dumb kid. I used to believe stupid things too when I was younger.

the parallels between Jesus Christ and Horus are documented accurately in the movie

Documented! ROFL. By the same untrustworthy source over and over. Achryra changed her name and even referred to two of her books as two authors to make her "references" seem more various that what they really are. It is a joke to scholarship, and you're becoming part of it.

[_GoodK]

Yea, what a scholarly presentation that article is. The fact is, that article is wrong too. But you already know this because it was illustrated to you on a silver platter earlier this year. Some people refuse to be educated.

And some people are just plain stupid enough to believe that a Jewish carpenter zombie actually died for their sins.

There are plenty of resources for these people to help keep cognitive dissonance at bay.

I could be wrong, but it is my understanding the Maher is not an atheist, but somewhere between a deist and agnostic, with a strong dislike to organized religion.

He tries to pull a beastie sometimes and says he's a preacher of the "I don't know" theology. This is because he wants to appear as objective as possible. But there is nothing objective in his rabid rants against anyone with a religious viewpoint. He sounds very much like Schmo, Mercury, JAK and a dozen others here on this forum, who have pretty much said religion is an evolutionary defect that only atheists have been able to evolve out of. Dawkins came up with the same horse crap in his notorious meme theory.

Gee, but that's not bigotry right? They're essentially dictating with certitude why theists believe in God, but on the other hand, if a theist tries to throw out a theory why atheists disbelieve, then they are the bigots.

ROFL!

But for Maher to say he "doesn't know" on one hand, he turns around and bloviates with absolute certainty that 90% of the planet has a "neurological disorder" because they believe they have sensed the existence of God.

That's like me calling the UFO claimers a bunch of crack pot whackos, and then at the same time, saying I believe UFOs might be real.

[_dartagnan]

Don't run off so soon GoodK. Educate me on all these "Egyption scholars" who confirmed the nimrods from Zeitgeist.

Pretty please?

Huh?

Maybe it's more like saying UFO claimers are crackpots, but there may be intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.

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."

What did you expect Dartagnan?
"One for all, all for one?"
I don't think, you're a "crackpot" or "whacko".
You have every right to belittle, call names of anybody you like.
I don't consider myself extremist, I'm a skeptic, I will not believe until I see some proof of any claims. Is it too much to ask?

So far every world religion delivered a goosegg instead of something concrete.

Bill Maher is an Entertainer, if you want to look for a serious idiot, I suggest you look to Ben Stein's "Expelled" direction. Read Shermer, PZ Meyers, how he tricked, lied to them.

[_GoodK]

Don't run off so soon GoodK. Educate me on all these "Egyption scholars" who confirmed the nimrods from Zeitgeist.

Pretty please?

STFU Kevin. No one is running off. Dumbass. Don't you have a Sarah Palin poster to keep you busy while you wait for me to respond?

Now there's some scholarship for ya! And Achryra and Massey are not "Egyption" scholars.

I hate to tell you this Kevin, but you are not a scholar. You can't even get the people at FARMS to take you seriously. Hell, I bet more people have heard of me in the Mormon apologetics community than the great Kevin Graham. So... you don't get to decide who is a scholar and who isn't.
You can correct us when we pronounce Expiação incorrectly.

It is dismissed by any scholars worth his salt. No scholar of religion today believes Zeitgeist is a credible production of scholarly quality. It was thrown up on the web by some conspiracy theorizing idiots and consumed happily by the uneducated.

It must be tough living on a planet where you are smarter than every other inhabitant. Or really easy.

And again, you are not a scholar nor do you get to decide who is a scholar. Well, at least you don't get to tell me who a scholar is and isn't. That is your first mistake.

Even when it turns out that it won't stand the test of scrutiny, you're still defending it.

The test of scrutiny. LMAO. You're test of scrutiny? The same test that allows for a Zombie Jew to have died for your sins thousands of years ago - because the Bible says so? You're a joke.

Amazing. But then I realize you're just a dumb kid.

I might be a dumb kid, but I'm a dumb kid who makes a lot of money. Wealth is an excellent way to keep score, Kevin. I wouldn't be surprised to see that I am beating you.



If I am dumb, at least I have an excuse. What's yours, old timer?

I used to believe stupid things too when I was younger.

When will you stop believing them, then? The most stupid thing I ever believed in was the Jesus Christ myth.


I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb
or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy

[_Some Schmo]

Gee, but that's not bigotry right? They're essentially dictating with certitude why theists believe in God, but on the other hand, if a theist tries to throw out a theory why atheists disbelieve, then they are the bigots.

ROFL!

Is there no end to your stupidity? You're trying to convince us that was just a theory in that pea-sized intellect of yours?

LOL

So you're admitting you're a bigot, since you just dictated with certitude why atheists disbelieve? At least that's a step in the right direction.

Go find a quote of mine where I dictate with certitude why theists believe in god. I'd be really interested in that. I'm sure you think I did that at some point, but given the obvious problem with reading comprehension you repetitively demonstrate, I'm confident you misunderstood.

I have numerous suspicions as to why people believe in god, but I'm not so certain about anything. I'm not nearly as arrogant as you.
