Garofalo: Bible a 'Work of Fiction' for 'Child-Like Audience'

Garofalo: Bible a 'Work of Fiction' for 'Child-Like Audience' By Nathan Burchfiel Created 06/25/2010 - 08:43

Sometime-comedian Janeane Garofalo never passes up an opportunity to slam conservatives or, apparently, Christianity. The Huffington Post gave her an opportunity June 24 to kill two birds with one stone.

In an interview [1] promoting her upcoming special on a network called EPIX, Garofalo compared the most widely-read book of all time, the Bible, to a Bill O'Reilly autobiography and a children's book authored by former President Bush.

When asked by a Huffington Post reader which of those three publications she'd rather read, Garofalo said, "Actually that's like six and one half, that is six and one half right there." Presumably, she meant to use the popular idiom, "six of one, half a dozen of the other."

"That's just three works of fiction targeted to a child-like audience so any, all, any one, none," Garofalo said. "I don't know how to read either, so that's kind of a drag."

During the interview, Garofalo also expressed disappointment in President Obama. "It's a drag that he's such a conservative," she lamented.

Garofalo's made her disdain for religion clear in the past. During a June 16 appearance on "The Joy Behar Show" on Headline News, she called prayer "anti-intellectual." Behar later defended Garofalo on ABC's "The View," saying the comedian should have said prayer was "un-intellectual."

Garofalo has also built a long resume of attacking conservatives. She has compared the GOP to neo-Nazis [1] and called Tea Party protestors "functionally retarded [1]," and "racist backward motherf***ers [1]." She has called the stable of Fox News anchors and hosts, as well as conservative talk radio hosts, liars [1].

I know I shouldn’t have, but I actually viewed the video of Mzzzzzzzzzzz Barf-a-loaf. She is a truly pathetic, pseudo-intellectual lightweight whose inane natterings speak for themselves. She is simply a snide, nasty person: people who read the bible range from child-like to brilliant, and any categorical statement that people who “read the bible” are “stupid” (read: not as “smart” as mzzzz barf-a-loaf) is itself completely idiotic. Her mindless comments from this video, and more generally, from all of her interviews, reveal her to be a permanent sophomore, who MAY, eventually, grow up, but in the meantime, we have to deal with her, and, much worse, a government of fools who are, basically, HER: mindless children whose heads are filled with peurile ideas from a college seminar that DON’T WORK AND WILL RUIN OUR COUNTRY.

Just one observation: I noticed that she is wearing on her wrist one of those stupid “magnetc” bracelets: this is a dead giveaway for a blithering moron. People who buy these ridiculous devices think they are being “scientific,” and “channeling” *something* - they actually believe that wearing these moden-day juju charms shows that they are in tune with “real scientists.” As a physicist, I can confirm that wearing these absurd things does nothing other than make the manufacturer wealthy.

The woman is a complete, utterly hopeless buffoon.

Hey, Garofalo, look at it this way:

If you’re right, I don’t lose anything.

If I’m right, you’ve got a real problem.

Besides its validation through the verification of prophecy,

the Bible refutes all efforts to classify it as a work of Man in that it is applicable to all human situations throughout time, revealing the unchanging nature of our Creator.

I actually found her to be a bit “snarky-cute” until after “Mystery Men” - following that was the end of her cuteness.

I respect her as a human as “Imageo Dei”,
so I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt that
she wasn’t born hating God,
just as a regular sinner like the rest of us.

To become this spiteful and hateful requires something
truly evil to have happened.

I actually feel bad for her. Poor souls like hers are badly in need of prayers.

Maybe her and Bill Mahr were on that same train. I agree. I saw Mahr on Leno spewing his stuff and even Leno was upset. You are right.

If it is 'Fiction' for a 'child-like audience', then why is it so accurate on why Garofalo and her ilk hate God?

Romans 1:16-32

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, " BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH." For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

"Garofalo: Bible a 'Work of Fiction' for 'Child-Like Audience'"

Marx's Das Kapital, Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, and any political indoctrination from Hollywood are 'Worsk of Fiction' for 'Child-Like Audience'

Oh, and the Bible says "Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Bathe once in a while, Pig Lady.

Did they ask her about the koran?

Great point. It's only the Judeo-Christian set of values they are FIGHTING.

FIGHT BACK. HARD. EVERY DAY. EVERY CONVERSATION. DO NOT SUFFER FOOLS ANY LONGER.

They are permanent adolescents, forever trying to shock their parents at the dinner table.

I think you nailed it. When you think about it, she really is a very sad specimen who is nowhere near as "cool" as she fancies herself.

'Child-Like Audience'

Being child-like is not childish. Obama is childish

“Wonder if she believes in Global Warming?”

BWAH HAHAHAHAHA!!

That is my litmus test to see if a Leftist wears the tinfoil hat.

“Of course, we all know that the Sun doesn't warm the earth, it's SUV’s. NO, those 31,000 scientists that disagree with man-made climate change are just a few fringe scientists. Al Gore, he’s the one that knows everything there is to know about science!! Did you know that it’s several million degrees less than a mile and a half beneath the Earth’s crust? Yes, Al Gore said so. He’s the ONLY person that knows that. At least he was until he told it on Conan’s show. It’s Much much hotter than the surface of the Sun down there! Nearly a thousand times hotter. Got to be true, Al said it.”

Aww, give her a break.

Since she has no talent or career, she has to do SOMETHING to get noticed.
