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.

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.

This is in fact the central problem with Godless liberalism and they know it.

They’re all snowflakes and daisys, tolerant of ALL things...

but when it comes to God...

or His children, they go right off the rails.

So we see Palin attacked by the likes of hollyweirdos.

Christians attacked for public displays of faith.

Conservative Christians are the biggest threat to failed liberalism, and they’re all too aware of it.

Palin sets them into panic mode.
