Wow. That straw man sure takes a beating from the cremepuff pundit, doesn't he?

Principal feature of the Left: Rejection of God. All other features of the Left are secondary to this one. It's been that way since the French Revolution.

My wife has been saying for years that she thinks Bill Maher is possessed. When he comes on the TV, she begins to pray. I'm starting to think I should join her...

The best way to counter cretins like this is to simply yawn.

Maher's hatred of Christianity is central to his show. Anything that conflicts with his shallow, hedonistic life is bad.

Bereft of talent, Maher's only draw is controversy. Figuratively and literally, he has bought his fame from the devil.

It would be a short prayer in my house. (He's never on the TV for more than a split second if I happen to be channel-surfing.)

Let's see, Maher doesn't beleive in a God, but Einstein did.
Einstein, Maher
Maher, Einstein
That's a tough one.

Sometimes I wonder why Jesus Christ is attacked with such viciousness. I don't know the answer. Maybe it is because they know deep inside there maybe something right about it but would rather attack it than think about it or change. Maybe it is because becoming a Christian is so against everything we now believe in our culture (being cool, materialism, it is all about me, PC politics, etc.). Maybe it is because some live their entire lives in a set of beliefs and near the end of it look back and see it all mattered for nothing and are pissed.

Salvation does not come from good works. It does not come from leading your life according to what you think are "the rules." It is not about a vain God. God loves all people. The question is - do you love him back? He wants what is in your heart, not what kind of food you eat on certain days or if you go into a pretty building one day a week and listen for an hour what the guy in robes or say "Good Morning" to the postman or don't cheat on your income taxes.

Sometimes the concept of hell gets people worked up. The argument on "How can a good God cast people into hell when they have lived a pretty good life" is false logic. Hell is a place where God is absent. This is exactly what the people who rejected God all their lives wanted. The "pit" of hell maybe a very comfortable place where everyone who rejected God their entire lives must now reside knowing they had lived their lives in a lie. That they had wasted it all. That actually may be worse than a guy with pitchfork.

God has given us all the "free will" to chose. God has sent his only son to die for us, to suffer for our sins and to show us the way. God could have easily made a bunch of robots that would do everything he said but instead loved us enough for us to make our own decisions.

Ans this is Bill Maher decision...

I always thought he looked like a half-formed human larvae.

I pray for his Salvation.

Rest assured, he's not on the screen long in our house either - usually just long enough for my wife to say, "See look at his eyes - I'm telling you HE'S POSSESSED!"

He thinks he is smarter than 86% of the people!

In the Strunk's Manual of Analogy and Metaphor on my desk, it says that mixing straw men and creampuffs is upon frowned.

Evangelical secularists like Maher fail to realize that atheism is also a religion with disasterous results. (See Stalin, Hitler)

Yet, you hear so little from him about Islam. I suppose it isn't "politically correct" to slam those who murder us in the name of Allah.
