Man, I must have missed something. On his old show he seemed to suggest he was a Libertarian.

Changing your tune, I see... I thought Maher was a liar???


Maher is a liar you little punk. Read what I said. I said his comment about Horus' story being "exactly like" the story of Jesus is refuted horse crap.

He is a liar. Anyone who uses Zeitgeist as a point of reference cannot be taken seriously, especially when he spends so much of his career pontificating horse crap.

Does that make him a liar or insufficiently discriminating?

I think he is deserving of the label because he uses this "fact" to forward his anti-religion agenda, and he is so dogmatic and arrogant about it too.

Refutations of Zeitgeist have been online for a year now. I find it hard to believe nobody has told Maher that his statement isn't supportable. Maher knows, he just doesn't care.

Maybe you're giving Maher too much credit.

one moment, of the well of life to taste-

starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!

LMFAO... please, stop. You are killing me.

I'll take that as a "you win" though.

It's only "refuted horeshit" if you are too dumb to recognize when the word "exactly" is being used hyperbolically.

He is a liar.


Oh. I'm convinced.

Like I said in the very beginning. You are doing about as good a job as Sherri Shepard did yesterday. And there are tons of parallels between the Horus and Jesus myths, as there are with other pre-Christian myths.

Shut up. Trix are for kids.

Maher said what he said and it is simply not true. Period.

Now go back to playing in the mud.

Say it in Portuguese, so you can actually look like you know what you are talking about for once.

Do you get your jokes from tektonics.org too?

There are plenty of what critics would call refutations of Mormonism, but that doesn't guarantee apologists will buy them. Are these apologists therefore liars?

Before I always thought Maher was smart and just shared a different view, but now I think he is a bonafide idiot and a bigot.


I've know that ever since I first saw Maher pre 9/11. Applies to his fans as well.
