Bill Maher calls God psychotic mass murderer who drowns babies

Bill Maher calls God a “psychotic mass murderer” who “drowns babies.” That is Bill’s intellectual interpretation of the story of Noah… suggesting a theological background short on nuance and long on Saturday morning cartoons.

  • And of course, as an atheist, Bill Maher is best buds with GOD and knows and completely understands everything about Him/Her. Sarc off

  • Just in case anyone was wondering about their politics, the Sundance Channel (created by Robert Redford and now owned by AMC) I was browsing the schedule today and they were showing "Religulous" the Bill Maher offering where he visits Jerusalem, Vatican City, and other religious destinations and badgers people about their beliefs.
    Another total waste of celluloid, exceeded in volume only by Spike Lee and Michael Moore.

    • Other religious destinations:

      MECCA?

      I am kind of expecting a no on that. If it is a yes I will be shocked but I am thinking he didn't actually stop Muslims and ask them questions... Just a theory...

      Anyone saw that crap?

    • Isn't that just SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRAVE of him to confront peaceful, pacifistic people of faith? Let's see him try that in Mecca.

  • And the Left shows its ignorace again. The flood story is present in every civilization in that area of the country, not just the Jewish scriptures and God. It appears to be a metaphor for a real event, in that some sort of severe flood actually occurred. There are many archeological, historical and meteorological theories about the event. The Mediterranean and the Baltic sea are both signficantly deeper and larger now than before, as evidenced by entire cities located in what is now part of the sea. Do I thingk Noah crammed a gazillion of everything in his tiny ark? No, I believe that is metaphorical for God not completely destroying everything in the flood, allowing for recovery of humans afterwards. Get a life Maher!

    • If the animals were kept in cages with an average size of 50x50x30 centimetres (20x20x12 inches), that is 75,000 cm3 (cubic centimetres) or 4800 cubic inches, the 16,000 animals would only occupy 1200 m3 (42,000 cubic feet) or 14.4 stock cars. Even if a million insect species had to be on board, it would not be a problem, because they require little space. If each pair was kept in cages of 10 cm (four inches) per side, or 1000 cm3, all the insect species would occupy a total volume of only 1000 m3, or another 12 cars. This would leave room for five trains of 99 cars each for food, Noah’s family and ‘range’ for the animals. However, insects are not included in the meaning of behemah or remes in Genesis 6:19-20, so Noah probably would not have taken them on board as passengers anyway.

      Tabulating the total volume is fair enough, since this shows that there would be plenty of room on the Ark for the animals with plenty left over for food, range etc. It would be possible to stack cages, with food on top or nearby (to minimize the amount of food carrying the humans had to do), to fill up more of the Ark space, while still allowing plenty of room for gaps for air circulation. We are discussing an emergency situation, not necessarily luxury accommodation. Although there is plenty of room for exercise, skeptics have overstated animals’ needs for exercise anyway

  • Atheists love to couch their "argumants" in logic. But actually, it's pseudo-logic. And there is nothing scientific about it.

    While it's technically true that you can not prove there is a God, it's also true that I can not prove there isn't one. Science has yet to even theorize as to what the prime cause of creation was. Currently, some will say the big bang "just happened". So there was a cause that was not also the effect of something else. So energy was just reated out of nothing. Seems to violate some LAWS of our current science. One could argue that that was an actual admission that "God did it".

    So that leaves atheism as not so much a "scientific/logical" view of things as a set of beliefs. They have FAITH that there is no God.

    But the reality is that atheism is used by the likes of Maher not as a personal explanation of Life, the Univers, and Everything, but rather to insult, offend, and degrade others. This boils down to basically being a child who wears outrageous clothes & dyes his hair purple to irritate his parents. Proving once again that while there are some die-hard ideologues in leftism (they're totally wrong, but that is another story), most are immature people who are collectively doing some form of holding their breath until they turn blue.

    • One of the things I like best about being an atheist is, I am free to say I don't know. I don't have to have the answers. I don't claim to know how the universe was created. I don't claim to know where I'm going to go, if anywhere, when I die. And I know the difference between knowledge and sincere belief.

      • The important thing is to recognize what it is you know, and distinguish it from what you don't know.

        Sounds simplistic, but the sad reality is that inside the beltway, and inside Trenton, Albany, Sacramento, Austin, etc. we have people who imagine they know all sorts of things that are actually fantasy. I think that's called hallucination. But they are eloquent, and people keep voting for them.

        • Delusion. The belief in something that can factually be proven as wrong. I just finished an online discussion of the benefits of raiseing minimum wage, and pointed out that inflation is the real problem, that the hourly wage could be $199 an hour, but if inflation lowers the purchasing power, you are still broke. We had several back and forth comments and the final one from the arguer. Well, we just need to raise minimum wage to at least $10 an hour, and better $15. Didn't comprehend a word.

  • If it is Gaia we are talking about, "The emotional body of Mother Earth is going through a cleansing."

  • He is confused about the term atheist. If indeed he is one and is SURE of his position, why does he feel the need to denigrate a G-d that he supposedly doesn't believe in and that doesn't exist as per his viewpoint? If G-d doesn't exist as a real atheist will claim to believe, then there is no G-d that is psychotic and blah blah blah... He is talking as if he believes the story to be real and then berates G-d for doing what He did. I am confused Bill make up your damn mind. Does He exist or not? Make a decision. At this point you are just looking and sounding like a turd.

    With that said, he OBVIOUSLY doesn't know nor understands the story of Noah and WHY (all the legitimate reasons) G-d did what He did. Also it is clearly stated in the Bible that G-d regretted the fact that He had to do what He had to do. He had to do it, but it is not like He was happy or excited about it. He had to make a move and He had to make it clear decision. Owning the entire Universe comes with responsibilities and with hard choices. That is why He is G-d. The World was nasty, EXTREMELY so, He HAD to end it and push restart. He knew He had to do it eventually when He created it, however that comes with living in a REAL universe with a REAL G-d that allows REAL people to have a REAL choice (Free Will). Which makes me think, considering OUR world NOW... seriously? Our World is not YET as nasty as it was then?! So... can you just imagine the LEVEL OF NASTINESS that it was at the time?! I certainly can't.

    So He saved the righteous man and his family, safeguarded as many innocent animals as possible and then got rid of the bad lot who were mutated and polluted by great evil.

    • The Bible tells us what caused the flood:

      "Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. And the LORD said, 'My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.'"

      Men were apparently chasing after women with no regard for the manner in which God wanted man and woman to bond. Sounds familiar, eh? But the fascinating part of that scripture is the final ten words: that curse of limited lifespan is still with us. I pay close attention to every old age story I see, and nobody - nobody - makes it past 120 years old in spite of our great advances in medicine. It took a while for God's decision to take effect but by Abraham the lifespan was significantly down - he lived to 175 whereas the pre-Noah patriarchs generally lived past 900. By Moses the lifespan was down to where it is now - Moses died at 120, exactly the limit declared by God in the time of Noah. I've been reading a lot of stories lately about advances in anti-aging, and I can't help wondering if all that research is futile, given God's prior decision on the matter. On the other hand, if they can figure out how to keep me healthy and vital up to 120, like Moses was, I'll take it.

      • 5And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
        8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
