Hi Bill!

I posted the Maher article sort of as a counter-point to the discussions about the Bible.  Maher is just another show-biz guy, and that's how I see him:  As a comedian.  I found the article about him funny.  I also find the way some folks take scriptures so seriously, amusing, too.  Sorry, but that's how I see it.

I did more reading of scriptures of all sorts when I was a premie, so I make it a point to avoid them now because they put me to sleep.  I find scriptures (especially the Bible) to be pretty boring now,  when compared to the enormous amount of available published material, both fiction and non-fiction, that is stimulating, exciting, educational, thought-provoking, or just plain old-fashioned fun.   

But that's just me...

One book I read recently is called A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson.  I highly recommend it to anyone who, like me, knows next to nothing about science.  Bryson isn't a scientist.  He wrote the book because he realized how little he knows about so much!  This is but one example of what I consider to be exciting reading!
