#1 ..imho, Maher is a talentless hack with only (1) good writers/idea persons and (2) a child's uncorrected propensity towards incivility. My parents would have drowned him before he got out of his private grade school..

#2 Notice he does not deny God, he only passes judgment upon God's behavior.

If it would help Mr. Maher's understanding, perhaps he should think of man's earthly existence in light of the greater span of eternity. A very crude analogy, but something akin to pre-natal "choice."

#3 He wouldn't say this about Allan.

#4 one line of thought goes that, yes, the people of Noah's generation were thoroughly corrupt, all of them but that was while they were required to be vegetarian; after the flood they were permitted to eat meat and since then no mass extinction was required

take away lesson: vegetarianism is bad (see, for example, Hitler)

#5 No non-metaphorical dinosaurs could be reached for comment. Bill and the rest of us would still be furry little creatures in our ground holes (and, no, not hobbits). Sometimes extinction has its up sides.

#6 P2k, Extinction has its consequences for sure, many might argue the "upsides".

#7 Kill is a statement of fact. Murder is a killing plus a value judgment. All values stem from God. One does not judge Him. He judges you.

#9 Yo! Gawd!
Do you know why the human crossed the road? (stop me if you've heard this)
Oh, you have.
Well then, why the fuck did the human cross the road?
Eggs? WTF?
Damn, are you sure?
Eggs is the punchline?
GAWD: It's a dark matter joke.

I bet my soul that whatever the hell made us has a huge sense of houmor when I was 12. All the house money is still on that bet.

#12 I wouldn't put much stock into somebody who invested in the Mets post-Beltran; in fact less stock than God put in Mahar.
