Mr Maher is one of my favorites. However, he is wrong on PETA. PETA and the HSUS. I will continue to watch him, and when I can I will remind him about the truth.

I own dogs, I train dogs, I love dogs, horse and many other animals. And I eat animals too. I have no plans on stopping, by body likes meat, I eat meat, so do my dogs.

PETA would end our relationship with animals entirely, not just stop us from eating meat, but they want us to "let our pets go" so they can be "free", you seen any street dog looking happy?

I hope Mr. Maher reads his comments to his posts. I would love to discuss pet ownership and meat eating with him. I would also like to remind him that humans would not be where we are, for better or for worse, without the dog and the cow.

How do you tell who is a Republican?

Just try some humor that requires more than a Jr. High education or sophistication.

Works every time.

Republicans have no sense of humor.

Bill continues to be a perfect example of American free speech and I am glad even though at times he has been moved to change from one channel to another, he has never stopped speaking his truth and mind! I just wish he was available on more channels.....

While Maher was raised Catholic, his mother is a Jew, so that makes Bill a member of my tribe. He's witty and small and very "Jewish" in his mannerisms and ways. I love him!

That is Great! People are truly sad...

It always amazes me how Bill can inspire so many heated debates on so many issues. I hope he never stops!

Chris Kelly is writer of yours and he was talking about Michellle Obama, when Burt Purlansky(not sure was saying those disrespectful things. He made a comment that said "Ah Christian humor, thats not just funny, that's Jesus-funny". I couldn't read any more of the article after that. It just blew my mind how a man could answer ignorance with an ignorant response. I understand you and your staff don't belive in Christianity, but the fact remains that there are alot of people who do. So please sir don't make it your personal quest to debunk Christianity. It might not of happen like the Bible said, but the faith it created inside people became real. And to some that's all they have. Don't take it away from them. I beg you sir.

How does joking about Christianity become debunking it? As a reasonably devout Catholic, I have a whole litany of Catholic jokes. Heck, sometimes it's so easy to joke about Christianity it takes the fun out of it.

Come on, if you can't lighten up and laugh and quit being offended by everything, dig a hole, crawl in, and pull the dirt after you - there's no need to keep living.

Let's hear your litany of Islamic jokes. Lighten up and laugh!

No. Just because a whole lot of people believe in it does not make it worth respecting. Religion in general -- not just Christianity -- has been the catalyst for some of the STUPIDEST mistakes mankind had ever made. Bill Maher, and everyone else, for that matter, is perfectly in the right for making jokes about a ridiculous thing like religion.

Hell, Religions are so preposterous, half the time you don't even need to work hard to make the joke. The thing begs to be laughed at by reasonable, logical people.

ps stop telling people that the surge worked please put it in perspective what paying off local and official clans cost to calm down the inter fighting between clans and civil duress that reduces deaths that is not a measure and think about how we got there in the first place absurd to comment on.
It's like saying grilled KFC is so much better for you. get it

New rule celebs should upgrade their photo from high school for the press
New rule I wish we were all macrobiotics but the gas would be too much to bear we know how bad the food is for us but we are all dieing everyday

other than that you are creative cleaver healthy and forever young like all of hollywood there is still something special about the view point of NJ people those of us that have moved on.

Love your show

I wonder which would be worse: Ending up in Hell or ending up in Hail? Or worse, ending up as hail in hell. Unless you are the Mount Everest of Hail, I think a snow ball would fair much better.

What is said is more important than who says it.
06:51 PM on 04/29/2009
That`s religulous. Hey Bill, if you`re wrong and I end up in Hail, will you bail me out? On second thought, I think I`ll hedge my bets. That seems like the smarter play.

As I've always suspected, getting into Heaven is a calculation for you people. Hey, it's free, except for a few bucks on Sundays so why not take advantage of the opportunity. Was Jesus the ultimate heretic, spreading the truth as he knew it, consequences be damned (no pun) or was he about playing the odds to his personal advantage?

See Pascal and then go read Dennett or for that matter, any philosopher on the subject. The bottom line is: Is your god so stupid he won't know you have doubts just like the rest of us? And if he doesn't care that you have doubts, why would he punish the rest of us who are honest enough to admit we have Doubts?
04:21 PM on 04/30/2009
but that's it, right? these so-called, people of faith, have no doubts. they have certainty. and their certainty pretty much eliminates the need for faith and therefore doubt. they don't understand that you can't have faith without some doubt. that's what it's supposed to be about.

i think doubts are ok, but mocking,not sure

Remember when W told us to go buy some murder tape and plastic to protect our homes from a dirty bomb? Could be a good defense.

Re: YOUR ACHILLES HEEL

Nothing says "I'm an old man/I'm your mixed-plaid wearing uncle who watched Laugh-In" more than bad puns.

You make the mistake of thinking that a clever (?) pun as a title is the most important component of a news item.

NOT SO!

You are too smart and too cutting to ruin the punchline as it were with a bad header. We need your opinion to be taken seriously. Otherwise, your comedy works wonderfully.

Just my opinion, of course.

But if you must, try to best this one: Waiting for Govdough (by Gail Jarvis - not me)

I thought it was funny. Lighten' up, Francis...

Nothing in this universe makes sense. Its not supposed to. You get to construct your own concepts if you are lucky. Unlucky if you believe what some one else tells you is the truth.

is that the truth
