Some folks believe the the sun in fact rises in the west and sets in the east. They cannot be convinced by either emotion or logic that they are in fact, wrong.
I guess this guy is one of those types.
I think Ronald Reagan had it right when he said something along the lines that “liberals/democrats believe so much that just isn't true”.
One day he will not wake up and meet someone who will set him straight, just not likely this side of eternity....
God Bless Molon Labe!
Bill Maher is BORING!....
One can be a Christian and say that all religions are bad. They are man-made entities. But an atheist, like Maher, isn't just attacking religions, he is attacking anyone who believes in a Supreme Being.
Maybe an imum will finally proclaim a fatwa I can support.
I've stopped right there. He's never heard of communism, global warming fanatics or democrats?
Does this open against “An American Tale”?
I will never forget how Charlton Heston totally humbled Maher.
Maher invited Heston to be on his show, along with a group of unimportant liberals. For the duration of the show, Heston just sat there as the liberals talked over each other, saying nothing of importance and puffing their little egos.
Finally, Maher intervened in the last few minutes, just so Heston could say something, and asked Heston if he would say something about guns. Then, after a pause, half-sneeringly, “as Moses would say it.”
Ooo-boy.
Heston, who had been so subdued, stood up, and suddenly looked a lot taller and larger than his 6’3” muscular frame. His eyes took on a gleam, and he did what Maher had asked.
He gave a short NRA speech about the right to guns, and he did it like he *was* Moses, with the same riveting command presence that you see in “The Ten Commandments”. The same booming voice. The same righteous strength. Riveting. Overwhelming.
When he had finished, the audience was utterly silent. The liberal jabber-jaws were silent. Awestruck. Amazed. For perhaps ten seconds, absolute silence. Finally Maher blurted out something to try and break the spell, but he got out just a few mumbled words.
The show was over. There was nothing else to say. In one short speech, Heston proved himself more than Maher had done, or can possibly do, in the rest of his petty life.
religion is bad. All religions are bad
And there is no absolute morality and so they can do any disgusting perverted thing they feel like doing because they feel like doing it.
Exactly. I've personally seen how people can be driven away from belief by judgement by fervent Christians. One can also be an athiest, I think, and show some respect for the 97% who believe in a Supreme Being. Maher doesn't do that. I suspect he had an especially bad experience as a Catholic in his younger years.
Well, that's certainly a matter of opinion.
Does anyone else find it ironic that Maher incoherently calls religions "bad" as if he had an absolute good/bad standard of morality to measure them against? There can be no "progress" towards good or reduction of "evil" if there is no absolute divine moral standard.
Otherwise it's just Maher trying to shove his personal opinion of what's right down everyones' throat. But he could wake up on the other side of the bed tomorrow and reverse his ideas of good/bad, and in an atheistic universe either personal standard would be just as valid. "Good" and "evil" are bunk in a naturalistic universe - the meaningless products of meaningless collisions of particles in a meaningless universe.
Maher an IDIOT
Maher is pathetic. Other than the psychiatrist’s couch, I don’t see him enjoying his own life unless he knocks others down. His is an empty life.
