Bill Maher's intelligent humor brightened my day.
I am not sad, but I am not glad either. I don't think his death will change anything much. I tend to think it isn't a person who owns the wealth; it is the wealth that owns the person.
And as for pain, I don't believe in unnecessary pain.
A little overboard, but I'm glad also. Not surprised coming from Wild Bill. One more brother to go. Wonder what will happen to their zillions of wealth & gas/oil companies.
Just think of how many people appalled by his saying this think that he, and we, are going to be sent to a place of eternal torture because we don't buy into the whole god/Jesus story---no matter how good we were during out lifetimes. At least Bill Maher knows any suffering he may have had was temporary and he doesn't wish eternal suffering for him.
Knowing Bill I'd guess he does wish "eternal suffering for him." I'd wish him an eternal itch on a place he can't reach.
@ChurchLess : Well, since we atheists don't believe eternal suffering is a real thing, any wish like that would be nothing but hyperbole.
