Ingersoll the Bill Maher of his day. Good comparison.

"Ingersoll could never have been elected because he was a CLASS ONE A-HOLE just like you."

I am certainly in GREAT COMPANY to be mentioned in a breath with Ingersoll! LOL!!

How are you Talking Donkey?! How is Joshua and Jonah and Moses and Lot and Noah?! Is Lot still frisky with his incest? Noah still getting naked after a little wine?! ;-)

Yes. Ingersoll was begged (even by mindless superstitious religious nutbars) to run for President. They promised to elect him if he would call vomit, eggnog--and p-ss, chablis! He laughed at their childish lack of moral integrity!

Just as I laugh at you, Donkey Boy!!

"An infinite God ought to be able to protect himself, without going in partnership with State Legislatures. Certainly he ought not so to act that laws become necessary to keep him from being laughed at. No one thinks of protecting Shakespeare from ridicule, by the threat of fine and imprisonment."

— Robert Green Ingersoll, "Some Mistakes of Moses"

"The old lady who said there must be a devil, else how could they make pictures that looked exactly like him, reasoned like a trained theologian -- like a doctor of divinity."

— Robert Green Ingersoll, from "Superstition" (1898)
