The sick thing about Maher are the people who don't think what he does is sick and sad.

I had to look that one up. Apparently there's a prohibition against hot drinks.

Remind me never to become a mormon. D:

The prohibition is specifically against tea and coffee, not all hot drinks.

The religious that says "no hot drinks" was later clarified to mean "tea and coffee". Mormons enjoy hot chocolate.

It's amusing how grown adults who believe the clearly man made fairy tales of the Bible are so butt hurt when people call them out on it.

My 10 year old can reason that Noah's Ark isn't true. It's pitiful most American adults cannot or will not.

Not really that funny, but it hits home. How many people really believe the Noah's ark story? A lot that I know, but it rarely comes up because they all feel how stupid and unbelievable it is whenever it does. They need someone to shine a spotlight on that story and flat out tell them that it is ludicrous. Nothing does that better than a mix of biting humor and derision.

Of course people who don't want to hear that will retort that Bill Maher is a dick for saying it. That's almost like agreeing with him IMO. It's like being angry at the only person who had the balls to tell you that you need to lose weight. You know he's right, but you just don't think polite people should be saying those things to you. It's oh so fortunate that you have the subject of his impropriety to bitch about, because that keeps you from having to really deal with what he's saying.

This. It's because they contain caffeine, which is considered an addictive substance. All of the Mormon rules against certain substances are due to their being addictive, which can lead to a loss of control.

It reminds me of when I was in class the other week. We were talking about various things and got to evolution. I mentioned that it didn't really bother me that some don't believe in it until I had people tell it to me directly. I just couldn't believe that.

I guess I'd probably feel the same way about Noah's Ark. I know I don't have a problem with people reading the Bible, but believing it is literal and 100% true? I just can't figure that out.

This guy Mahar is known to have liberal ideas, and he is against religion in any way.

I'm offended by this clown, what do we do when these imbeciles get us in a war with Russia due to their incompetence.

The constitution does not provide for anything against religion, it provides only against the discrimination of it.

It's hard to believe in this day and age, we still have people walking around that still believe this nonsense. What's even worse is how many believe this nonsense.

So you believe the Noah's Ark story then?

The Constitution also allows Maher and anyone else the right to heap upon religion the scorn it so richly deserves.

While some believe the Bible is true in every detail, the majority of Christians know it to be allegory. Lumping all Christians together is rather foolish, disengenuous and, stupid for a comedian who does an elitist prick shtick.

Why is it stupid? The core foundation of Christianity is baseless and has EXACTLY the same amount of evidence as the existence of leprechauns. So please quit trying to pretend there are some Christians out there that are more credible than others, because there aren't. They are all the same, they just have different levels of idiocy.

Kind of like the posters here apparently. When was the last time you saw, touched or, could point at honor, love or, regret? Are they any less real for not being easily measured, standardized for all humans or, replicable in scientific experiments? There is an entire world of experiences, perspectives and, questions that science can't even begin to answer and you're calling religious people idiots? There's no idiot like someone who believes they know all the possible answers.
