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].
people like her are a dime a dozen
I’ll bet she thinks that Che is the ginchiest and Communism is superior.
It was so compassionate of the Left to execute 100 million of their own citizen to make philosophical point.
How brainwashed can you get? The answer: Garafalo or Maher.
Time to break the bonds of public school indoctrination and think for yourselves Hollywood!

I want to find the guy supplying the dimes, and stop him...
We all make our choices - apparently, she does not chose God.
Wonder who she turns to in the bad times of life.
What a sad life. She knows not what she misses.
Yeah,ask her about that pedophile inspired book of fantasy. whose followers are just one jihad away from killing you, so they can get into their so called paradise. Get real!
Her words are spoken like any foolish child. Actually, beyond unknowing, ill informed and misguided. Too bad she couldn’t mature.
Amen! What are they going to do to us? Call us "insensitive, politically incorrect haters" or whatever? Let them! Let them scream it until they're hoarse! We have to stop cowering and groveling just because we're called a name.
Those who refuse to turn to God turn to their own god, themselves. They have believed the lie of "I'm basically good" and seek to affirm that through their policy positions, social status, and other general "works". None of these things addresses the burden of sin guilt that all feel.
Freddie Blassie could have helped....
a little plaything for Kim Jong-Il-i’m sure they’d get along famously
Living room is decorated in early “Trainspotting”
I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the apartment has seen a baby crawling around on the ceiling.
Al Gore got a D in college (Man's relation to Nature class, I believe) and he thinks he knows more than 31,000 scientists that say man-made global warming is a hoax.
Now Garafalo think she knows more than God.
I’m gonna have to say that she is even more delusional than Gore. (of course Gore is doing it for the profit, she has no reason to do it except peer pressure and to try and appear to be one of the “cool kids”)
Garafalo begs the question: By the time you reach 40 shouldn’t you stop trying so hard to be one of the cool kids?!?!
I guess if I looked as hideous as Janeane Garofalo, I’d doubt God’s existence too.
I'd rather see her married to a muslim and flown to Saudi Arabia. People in Bellevue can still be interviewed.
LOL. excellent observations!
Garofalo looks like Amy Winehouse when she isn’t totally stoned.
At least she didn't go the route of having a porno of her leak out as so often was the case a few years back........
The point is simple. You're not dealing with people who climb to the top based on some real accomplishment in what they did, built, created......... These are folks that carve out their existence through controversy and staying a tabloid star. They are not successful because of their real intelligence, creativity, courage, diligence in some science or engineering. They are simply people that make their existence by being “talked about.” As such, she has to occasionally fire off some statement like this.
Good one!
Hmmmm... so, e.g., the 1611 version of the KJV is comparable to a children’s book? I wonder if she can understand the language used in it anymore than a 5 or 6yo can? For that matter can she understand Shakespeare? Not to mention some of the themes in the Bible, such as the Song of Solomon, aren’t exactly meant for children. She’s about as good at exegesis as she is comedy.
