WASHINGTON, DC – Michael Moore said that his next documentary will prove that Jesus was gay.
Speaking at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Friday, Michael Moore, told the audience that he is working hard on his next documentary, currently entitled – “Jesus Was Gay.”
“I know more about religion than anybody on the planet, including the Pope,” the filmmaker, wearing his trademark trucker cap, told an auditorium comprised of a few hundred students, faculty and news media.
The liberal filmmaker was invited to the Catholic school to discuss his book, “Here Comes Trouble.” But he also spoke at length about health care, young voters’ disenchantment with President Barack Obama and the need for the wealthy to pay higher taxes. He said affluent Americans “seemed happy” when their income was taxed at a higher rate (“60 and 70 percent”).
Moore, who was raised Catholic, used Christian themes throughout his speech. He then made his surprising comment:
“You know those 12 men Jesus was always hanging out with?” he said to laughter. “You know what that means.” He went to explain that it wasn’t a joke and that he has done extensive documentary research and talked to people that have examined artifacts that prove Jesus was gay. Moore even talked about Jesus loving musicals. “He was a real song-and-dance man,” Moore said.
Moore made a few more provocative comments during the question-and-answer portion of his talk. When asked by a student, if Moore himself was gay, Moore shouted back. “Hell no!!” He later clarified his statement, saying he would like to be gay, but no gay man would have him because he is a big, fat slob.
Another student asked about the 2004 documentary, “Michael Moore Hates America” and why Moore declined to participate in it. Moore said he doesn‘t hate America and those who disagree with his political views don’t either.
“I assume Republicans love this country. I start with that assumption,” he said.
Moore said his “Jesus Was Gay” documentary will be out in time for Christmas this year. “It’s my gift to Christians.” Moore said.
You are a troll or an idiot or both.
I vote both.
IBTZ, you Michael-Moore Moron.
For M Moore going through life fat, stupid and ugly is not a pretty thing...
I vote troll first, idiot second. Being a troll makes people stupid.
Michael Mooore’s nuts.
My husband works in NYC and was crossing the street one day when he noticed fatso in front of him. He said he had to fight the temptation to push him into oncoming traffic. I don’t know if I could have actually fought off that temptation if it were me. Fatso in a baseball cap(I will not refer to him by name-too much respect) is a low life and one of the biggest(and I mean big) hypocrites around. He is as big as a house and has money coming out of his ears, but we should be ashamed of ourselves?
He knows about as much about religion as I do about splitting atoms! He needs to crawl back into the doughnut shop and stay there.
But I don’t think Michael Moore has any.
Jeepers...
Good idea..
“None of these poses or gestures are masculine”
You walk into a two thousand year old discussion as though you were the first one to have thought about the issue. Have you even read the book of John?
