On Friday night’s Real Life with Bill Maher on HBO, the host typically assaulted the Bible and the God of the Old Testament. He said of the Bible and the Koran "These are two books that are filled with hatred and wickedness and all kinds of immorality. I mean, I can’t think of a character who is less reliable as a role model than the God of the Old Testament." Newsweek editor Jon Meacham could only respond with pandering humor for liberals: "He’s kind of Cheneyesque actually – that runs through the God of Abraham...He didn’t shoot anybody. He smited them."

As Maher suggested he was too bright to believe in Jesus the "Jewish Zombie,"

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his messiah, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. (Ps 2:1-4)

[Dr. Ursus]

They will continue the debate in hell!

[Neverforget01]

Did Meacham say Cheney was God?

[Le Chien Rouge]

Let’s not judge Bill Maher....we should pray for him...

[mom4melody]

I doubt there will be debating in hell. They will be to busy crying for the mercy that will never come.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

I think it was more intended as a slur of God than a bump of Cheney

[silverleaf]

Maher insulted the koran?

Please spread the word, I can’t wait to hear the response from the mullahs and madrassas.

I just saw a FReeper refer to God that way the other day. I guess we know who it is now....

[Obadiah]

Thank you.

No, let's not only judge the worthless bastard, let's insult him and "prey" on him.

You have every right to defend yourself and a duty to push back "de debil"

God helps those who help themselves.

[Jagdgewehr]

A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind (Proverbs 18:2).

Maher is the personification of this verse.

[silverleaf]

So is obama! Thanks for sharing.

Funny how they never denouce or make fun of allah or muhammad. I guess it's because they don't want to be "smited." You know, a bad joke about islam is nothing to lose your head over, right?

Where it belongs.

They can mock all they want, but some day they will find out the truth and regret that they didn't find it out sooner.

[Misterioso]

Let’s not judge Bill Maher....we should pray for him...

What will happen to him if we don't pray for him? How bad could it be?

[Ditter]

Few people will make me change the channel quicker than Bill Maher,,,,, he and Keith Olberdork, of course.

[Bigh4u2]

“Maher insulted the koran?

Please spread the word,”

Yep.. I absolutely agree.

This POS needs to find out that ‘words matter’.

And everything out of his mouth is despicable and filth.

"I doubt there will be debating in hell. They will be to busy crying for the mercy that will never come."

Yep. Certainly by this point, Satan and his troops have torture refined to a degree that is incomprehensible to us.

Waterboarding? HAH! Scripture tells us that they wil cry for a single drop of water...

[squarebarb]

It’s not ‘smited’, it’s ‘smote’.

Seehow dumbed down we are? People can’t even manage Elizabethan English.

[pnh102]

Bill Maher compared Dick Cheney to God? I always knew Cheney was cool but wow...
