I would disagree with Maher by saying that, with the exception of late 20th century abortion clinic bombings, Christians today don't do what some Muslims are doing, as some engaging in acts like this ended with the Spanish Inquisition.

And no acts like this have done or have been carried out by Jewish people since they entered into the Promised Land.

The point is, violence from Christians and Jews/Christianity o and Judaism (or in their name of these faiths) is all in the past.

Really?

We’re Eastern Orthodox.... I don’t know a single Orthodox priest who’d last 5 seconds after saying or doing what the Imams routinely do.

No Bill, NOT stupid or dangerous !

The most dangerous religion is Atheism. The atheists of Communism and Nazism have slaughtered hundreds of millions in the last Century alone!

Maher is having a hard time understanding why his fellow libs aren’t outraged by Islam. It’s quite simple. Islam is mostly practiced by people who are brown. Criticizing Islam is, therefore, racist. If Islam were a bunch of white Euros, the Left would be trying to nuke entire countries.

The abortion clinic bombings were universally condemned by Christians 30 years ago.

I sometimes wonder what would be happen if all Christians stopped monetary charity toward unbelievers for 1 week?

Atheistic Communist regimes killed 60 million in the 20th century through genocide, according to Le Monde, more than 100 million people according to The Black Book of Communism (Panné, J.L., Paczkowski A. et al, 1999) and according to Cleon Skousen in his best-selling book The Naked Communist.

It is estimated that in the past 100 years, governments under the banner of atheistic communism have caused the death of somewhere between 40,472,000 to 259,432,000 human lives.

Dr. R. J. Rummel, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Hawaii, is the scholar who first coined the term democide (death by government). Dr. R. J. Rummel’s mid estimate regarding the loss of life due to communism is that communism caused the death of approximately 110,286,000 people between 1917 and 1987.

The term used in your last paragraph is very important. Christianity is not a religion, it is a faith. These are two very different things. Most people think they are interchangeable just as they think democracy and republic are the same.

Most people are ignorant.

“All Religions Are Stupid and Dangerous”

None more so than Maher’s humanistic self-worship.

...with the exception of late 20th century abortion clinic bombings...

I know these events are featured prominently on the 'Law and Disorder' episodes (and their like) to make them appear like every day occurrences -- but really, how many were they? I know any occurrence is bad, and certainly assassination of the abortionists is against God's Word that vengeance belongs to Him -- but I can understand how someone could rationalize going after organizations that are directly for murdering 1 million babies in America year. They forget God's admonishment to let Him take care of the vengeance - but I can understand it.

If Bill including the religion of Global Warming? What about the Religion of Aborting Babies? How about the Religion that is “Progressiveism” or “Liberalism”?

See in Mahr’s opinion, Religion is stupid because there is no factual and/or tangible basis of the faith in an ideology. Liberalism, Global Warming, etc. fit that definition. But I doubt he knows that.

I am no atheist, I am a believer in Jesus Christ.

However, I do not generally support religion. It seems to me that religion serves purposes other than nurturing the relationship between man and his creator.

I have had trouble with religion, and specifically priests, in my life, and that has caused me to arrive where I am on religion these days, but I do believe that religion and church plays a very important role in the lives of young people as it relates to the moral foundation that a person needs. Society also needs people to have that moral foundation as evidenced by our crumbling society.

I can’t agree with Maher on this, religion has a critical purpose, but sadly, at the same time, people are insane, and religion has become corrupt in a number of very troubling ways.
