“...I never found him that funny...”

Yeah, some folks didn’t. But we’re all different. I liked his comedy in the same way as I like The Three Stooges. Madcap, zany, and off the wall.

Takes all kinds, brother.

Oy as the Jewish brothers say…the bad theology and cruelty in this thread what a bonanza for the DU’ers lurking. Suicide is a sticky subject in the Bible. If we are going to get legal about it, God is fairly silent on suicide and one could say he supports it in certain circumstances. Jesus said one of the highest honors to God is to give your life for a brother…is not giving your life over suicide? Such as a soldier going on a “Suicide Mission” or the 9-11 first responders going into tower 2 to rescue people when they knew it was a “Suicide”. God is fairly silent on a person’s motivations when giving up their own life. Yes we can extrapolate common sense and say what Robin Williams was not noble, was selfish but to muddy the issue he was clearly not thinking critically or in his right mind. Does G*d give dispensation for someone so tortured with depression?

It’s biblical illiterate and downright medieval to judge where someone will spend eternity. Jesus kind of hated that when he was here, that finger wagging. But it goes back to the original sin when we learned of Good and Evil, God knew we’d use some self righteousness to bludgeon our fellow man with.

No, you must agree with me on everything, everyone must ...:)

I like the Three Stooges short except AMC has way too many commercials to watch them wo DVRing them.

I recall as a kid I first saw Marx Brothers in Duck Soup and Monkey Business and thought those two movies were the funniest.

There is something feminine-like about Robin Williams characters that makes it hard for me to enjoy them.
