Just a thought for the especially loving christians here anticipating eternal torture for Maher's wisecracks .. how many of your dead relatives have reported back to you on how things are going for them?

I'd think a certain SomeOne who's supposedly concerned about *your* fate could do WONDERS by allowing just a teensy little bit of that sort of thing .. strange .. all we get are 2000-year-old books of dubious and ridiculously convoluted origins.

What you'll really have to face after you die (assuming there's any consciousness to face it - and you don't know anymore about that than I do, do you?), is what a silly ninny you were wasting so much energy on fantasies a two-year-old could easily puncture if he wasn't engulfed by cultural brainwashing to the contrary.

This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that they can see through the idiocy of similar fantasies from *other* cultures.

Hat's off to Bill Maher for extracting some much needed humorous relief out of humanity's seemingly limitless gullibility ..

And he's absolutely right: today our species confronts challenges to its survival that demand *rational* coordinated action, which we can no longer afford to have warped or fragmented by competing fantasies adopted from ancient (and extremely ignorant) barbaric cultures.

(Stoned anybody to death for gathering firewood on Saturday lately? Or not screaming loud enough to be heard when she was raped? .. just a couple of the milder laws mixed in with assorted genocidal atrocities in the Good Book)
