Bill Maher's 'View': Church Going Old Ladies 'Enablers' to Religious Violence

Photo of Justin McCarthy.

Bill Maher, host of HBO’s "Real Time," appeared on the April 16 edition of "The View" to voice his opposition to all religion. Maher asserted that "pretty much all religion" is bad and all religion is "childish destructive nonsense." Co-host, Joy Behar inquired "What about people who just like to go to church, you know, the old ladies in my neighborhood who used to go and light a candle?" Maher responded likewise.

"They are certainly better than people who fly planes into buildings, yes. But they are enablers for some thing that is worldwide and winds up killing more people, distracting us from more good works."

According to Maher’s logic, the Salvation Army, Father Joe’s Villages, and church going conservatives who donate more to charity than secular liberals, are all "distracted from more good works."

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Maher continued to call faith a "distraction," "the greatest con in the world" that’s "selling an invisible product." Behar then opined that science does not explain how "it all started." Maher agreed but quipped that "there is no reason to make [an answer] up." Maher proceeded to call the instructing of intelligent design alongside evolution teaching "stupidity alongside knowledge." Barbara Walters jokingly expressed concern over whoever will have to read the incoming mail. The transcript is below.

JOY BEHAR: I read a quote of you, as it said religion is bad, drugs are good. Could you please elaborate?

HASSELBECK: Please

[laughter]

BILL MAHER: That's what I always say when people say why don't you run for office, which they say to me all the time which is crazy. And I say, well my campaign would start with religion is bad and drugs are good. Would you like to be the campaign manager for that political campaign?

BEHAR: It is all religion and all drugs or some religion and some drugs?

MAHER: Of course not. I would say all religion, yes.

BEHAR: All religion is bad.

MAHER: Pretty much all religion. I mean, there are varying degrees but it's all very, you know, childish destructive nonsense in my view.

ELISABETH HASSELBECK: Gosh I so disagree with that.

MAHER: Of course you do.

HASSELBECK: Of course I do.

[laughter]

JOY BEHAR: What about people who just like to go to church, you know, the old ladies in my neighborhood who used to go and light a candle? It made them feel good, their husbands died, they felt better. What about that?

MAHER: They are certainly better than people who fly planes into buildings, yes. But they are enablers for some thing that is worldwide and winds up killing more people, distracting us from more good works--

HASSELBECK: So you think all faith is a distraction.

BEHAR: It’s never going to change.

MAHER: I think all faith is a distraction. I think it’s the greatest con in the world. They’re selling an invisible product. If some human tells you --

HASSELBECK: I'm buying it then, apparently.

MAHER: You are like millions are, but, but this kind-

WALTERS: There are books written on this side of it-

BEHAR: You don’t hear this side very often.

MAHER: Not in this country, but in Europe they’re over religion. It's this country is a very religious country. But if somebody tells you what happens when you die, and who God is, just remember, unless a god told you himself and if he did we'll call Belle View, that's another human being telling you what happens when you die. Why don't you say to that human being, how do you know? How do you know?

MAHER: Wait a minute.

WALTERS: Something like 87 percent of people in this country, because we did a whole program last year on heaven and how you get there believe in heaven and believe that they’re going to get there and if this gives them solace or faith...

BEHAR: But science has never really been able to answer the question how did it all start?

MAHER: Right, I agree.

BEHAR: Who is the first mover? So, religion gives an answer. Science can't give it either. Neither side gives an answer.

MAHER: But just because there is no answer is no reason to make one up, that's all I'm saying.

BEHAR: But the scientific doesn't have an answer and says there's nothing.

HASSELBECK: We've seen that merge with intelligent design, recently, don’t you agree? I think that’s kind of a viable option.

ROSIE O’DONNELL: Intelligent design, she’s saying.

HASSELBECK: Intelligent design. It’s kind of a merging of both of those, those thoughts.

BEHAR: It’s neither intelligent nor designing.

MAHER: It's creationism with a fancy name.

BEHAR: Yeah, I don’t believe in that.

MAHER: And Bush says we should teach them both, which is interesting theory that we teach stupidity alongside of knowledge. It’s like saying, well, we’re going to teach how babies are really born in the hospital and then we’re going to teach that the stork brings them.

WALTERS: Who is going to answer the mail that is coming to this show?

Eat, drink, and be marry for tomorrow we die, is the attitude they want to instill.  This allows them to push their agenda forward.  Explain away God and all we do is right.

Maher asserted that "pretty much all religion" is bad and all religion is "childish destructive nonsense."

Please, Bill, please... let us hear you say on national television that Islam is bad and that it is childish, destructive nonsense. It is easy to say such things about religions who have the attitude of "forgive and forget", "turn the other cheek", etc... They just dismiss you as being full of hot air and let you have your opinion no matter how skewed they might believe it to be. Essentially you are bullying someone who won't fight back and, sadly, you know that and take advantage of that. However, I wonder, do you have the b*lls to make that assertion about Muslims? Personally, I couldn't care what your religious persuasion is and I'm disappointed that men like you have a platform to make such assinine statements... You're really not as smart as you think you are, are you? You just wizzed on about 87% of the nation's population with your rash generalizations...

Bill Marar

Bill hates religion.....big deal. It makes him feel better about his lost life. So he can go to the Playboy Mansion, hang out with naked women, date teenagers with fake breast, have sex with them and leave. When hes had a girlfriend he ends up beating her up. He's just a small, ugly, cynical, uneducated loser. If he wasn't rich and on tv, no one would pay attention to him. Its so sad he gets so much attention.

The funny thing is Bill also

The funny thing is Bill also has a religion...and he's quite the fanatical zealot for it...

Irony is a really big thing with libs, ya know...right after hypocracy perhaps...

Well, if Bill Maher says so

Well, if Bill Maher says so I guess it must be true. Consider the $250,000 dollar prize to the first person to offer scientific proof of evolution,as yet unclaimed. Consider how many charitable organizations are in existence because of Christ's influence in this world. I would contend that mankind is the common denominator in Bill's world view of the origins of evil. Bill's religion is liberalism and it is responsible for more deaths in the world than any tyrant in history thanks to their saints Margaret Sanger and Rachel Carson.

In fact I would counter that the liberal mindset is literally responsible for the decay of humanity. Their enabling, self eggrandizing, self righteous, self centered, self, self, self, self... Say what you really mean. You despise religion (his code for Christianity) because it smacks in the faith of your church. Christians value life including the unborn and the frail. Christians don't look to government for their survival they look to God. And you'll have no gods before liberalism will you, you hateful generation of wicked vipers?

Liberals see the evangelical movement as a threat to their birth right of power in government. They must destroy faith in all it's forms so they may become the deity. This will allow them to enjoy their wicked lives free from perceived judgement of "radicals" like me.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. Talk sense to a liberal and he calls you a racist, sexist, biggot, homophobe, denier.

the Debate is Over!

Bill Maher has spoken.  So all the debate and study of the world is for nothing.  If he says it's so, then the Pope and all Religious scholors must have been in vain for all these centuries!  Gee, and to think the messenger is a comedian!  How proper...

If he is a comedian---

If he is a comedian--- why doesn't he say something funny instead of stupid and insulting..

If he is a comedian---then I am Winston Churchill. (just picked a name out of the air!)

I am sick and tired of all of

I am sick and tired of all of them.

There you have it, if this gu

There you have it, if this guy actually believes and let's such foolishness come out of his mouth, then anything he says on any other subject is probably equally as ignornant and arrogant.  So much for his criticisms of George Bush or anyone else.  Bill Mayer is the typical arrogant intolerant liberal, if he doesn't believe it, it can't be true and of course anyone holding a contrary opinion is also an idiot since they came to a different conclusion than him.  Bill Mayer exemplifies what liberalism has come to mean. 

Prove me wrong liberals, tell me that Mayer is off base not to respect the opinion and beliefs of others.  You can respect the opinion or belief of another even though you disagree with them, Yes or No?  Send an email to the View and let them know that you are a liberal and you are offended by such intolerance of other people.  Fat chance any of you liberals could be so gracious.

But I guess these are all just your "fancy names" for LEFT-WING FASCIST BRAINWASHING, right Bill : ) ?

Bill Maher's "wisdom&quo

Bill Maher's "wisdom" reminds me of all those "peaceful" anti-religious atheists of the last 100 years or so, such as, well, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung, Pol Pot, Kim Jong-Il, Fidel Castro, and the Marxists of North Vietnam and numerous African states who, at last count in total, were responsible for killing more than 100 million people.

And, of course, there were those other anti-Christian and anti-religious do-gooders such as Margaret Sanger and Alfred Kinsey who helped usher in the sexual revolution and abortion-on-demand, which has led to more than 50 million slaughtered in the U.S. alone since 1973.  Worldwide, the number is over 400 million killed.  What a record for the "do your own thing" and "keep God out of the public square" prophets. 

Hitler and Castro are atheist

Hitler and Castro are atheists?  Both were raised Catholic and neither have stated that they do not believe in a God.  Despite Castro's overly politicized excommunication, he still has yet to renounce a higher power. 

Dan - I was raised Catholic

Dan - I was raised Catholic and wouldn't say I don't believe in God or renounce a higher power but I'm not religious. Being religious requires picking one and trying to faithfully follow it.

The point is none of the people mentioned faught in the name of a religion for religious purposes

No Dee Bunk...you're wrong. 

No Dee Bunk...you're wrong.  The point is that there is no proof that these men were atheists at all so it's incredibly ignorant for anyone to equate their actions as such.  Would it make you feel better if they were devout followers of a religion that espoused complete indoctrination while carrying out genocidal conquests endorsed by none other than their Supreme Leader?  Like, say...Joshua?

Again, a simple challenge ...

Again, a simple challenge ...

  • Name the last American war started because of religion
  • Name the first one

It's a shame that time machines haven't been invented yet. I'd love to transport Maher to make that comment near Martin Luther King, Jr. What a dilemma that would be for Maher!

First War: 1607 Jamestown.  While not technically considered a "war", the systematic eradication of Indians in the name of Christianity marks the first time heathenism would be cause for death in the New World.

So sorry, Christians killed s

So sorry, Christians killed scores of Native Americans because they we're deemed unworthy and unholy.  Because history books don't designate every mass killing as a war, you win on a technicality.   

Regarding Iraq, if you think that GWB doesn't justify his irrational exuberance through righteousness and divine intervention, then you must actually think that the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" are still yet to be found. 

p.s. Travel outside of the USA and listen to how others around the world regard the long-standing nation-building ideology of the USA.

WMD's have been found in Iraq. There is a nice list of these available for you to read on the forums. I'd have to look it up, but it's there. In addition to this, by the way, the binary components for VX were found, and in mass quantities in Iraqi military warehouses. The problem? Since the two components have additional non-military uses, they were not considered miltiary stockpiles of WMD -- nevermind the fact they were in a military warehouse, and nevermind the fact that when you mix the two chemicals (in the same warehouse) together, you get VX. That completely aside -- you don't have an edge on Bush's mental or religious frame of mind, so you can't possibly insist that Iraq is a religious war. You have no evidence to this, but there is evidence to the contrary.


"Stop global warming! Asphyxiate a liberal!" -
Show us how far you're willing to go to stop "global warming"

DanK

Mmm. "long-standing nation-building ideology of the US?"  Just which hypocritical speaking folks are you talking to in which countries of long-standing imperialism or colonialism are you traveling in?"

As Robert Byrd, D. W.VA said in 1996... on September 6, 1996: “To those who would doubt the necessity of the actions by the president, one should pose the question as to what the consequences would be in the face of American inaction. First, clearly, no other country would take the lead. The signature of the current era is such that response to aggression will not be taken up by other powers in the absence of American leadership, unfortunately. This was the case in the invasion of Kuwait. It was the case in Bosnia when, after several years of Western inaction in the face of ethnic atrocities in Bosnia, only the United States, only the United States, could bring about a credible, effective implementation of peace in that sorry part of Europe. . . . It is American leadership which is decisive to the peace in these regions, and I commend President Clinton for his decisive action. It was necessary to weaken the Iraqi leader's ability to intimidate his neighbors, and to make it clear that he will pay a price for his aggression."

And as Bill Clinton said on July 22, 2003 - "I think the main thing I want to say to you is, people can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks.........of biological and chemical weapons. ......  And what I think -- again, I would say the most important thing is we should focus on what's the best way to build Iraq as a democracy? How is the president going to do that and deal with continuing problems in Afghanistan and North Korea?"

We should be pulling for America on this. We should be pulling for the people of Iraq. We can have honest disagreements about where we go from here, and we have space now to discuss that in what I hope will be a nonpartisan and open way.And as Sec. of State Madeline Albright said, "What's the point of having this superb military you're always talking about if we can't use it?"

Have you ever considered...

Have you ever considered, DanKenton, that just because a person calls themself "Christian" does not make them so?   I find that the term "Christian" has become really watered down from what it really means.  The Bible says that true Christians will be known by their actions.  (Matthew 7:15 - 29).  Now again, no one is perfect (only Jesus) and people make mistakes.  But if a person's entire life consists of non-Christian actions, maybe, just maybe, they really weren't a Christian

As MGDL above mentions, the

As MGDL above mentions, the war in Iraq is not a war that was started on the basis of religion. A religious war has been fought against us by Al Qaeda et al, but that was not started by us, and any subsequent actions after the fact, were not based upon religion.

Also, as he points out, Jamestown in 1607 was not a war. In addition to that, with regards to your reference -- the story of Pocahontas is something of American legend. Having known a direct decendent of her, myself, I also know that her father made it quite common practice to provoke an attack from his enemies. Then, he would take someone of consequence captive (in this case, Captain Smith). Upon sentencing this person to die for crimes against his people, the chief would set up a very public execution and reprieve. One of his daughters would step in at the time of execution, to defend the life of the condemned. At this moment, the chief would create a sense of debt to be paid by the opposing tribe (in this case, the English).

Now, the English may have viewed the Indians as savages, and they may have viewed them as barbaric. However, only the naive would believe the Indians of complete innocence in the actions taken against them.

All valid points, but remembe

All valid points, but remember what started this thread - name the first war this country started on the basis of religion - the settlers at Jamestown represented the British - not the United States of America, which began 150 years later.

Jimbo says - "There is a fine line between freedom of speech and treason"

Man...you're really going hea

Man...you're really going heavy on the technicalities.  The original question is sort of silly too since it seems to imply an absence of damage caused by religion simply because an "American" war wasn't specifically waged in the name of Christianity.  Of couse this is an absurdity given that religion causes plenty of other damage both right here at home and around the world.

Hardly. The point was that an

Hardly. The point was that anti-religious critics blithely toss out the idea that "religion has started more wars than ..." Well, no it hasn't. They just toss that out because they think it sounds correct, and it only sounds correct to them because it reinforces their prejudice against religion. It's a truism that collapses the moment you examine it.

As for the idea that religion causes "plenty of other damage," that's another unexamined prejudice that collapses the moment we investigate it. The critics never cite examples where religion itself causes damage; instead, they cite examples where religion failed to prevent damage caused by weak, sinful, or violent human beings. Think of the Kool-Aid massacre with the Reverend Jim Jones. Belief in God didn't kill those people; a lying bastard who exploited their vulnerability killed them. Jesus didn’t exploit them; Jones did.

If you don’t believe in God, fine. I know plenty of atheists who can offer a coherent argument, and I respect those people, even when I disagree with them. What bothers me is bigots like Maher, who resort to insults and juvenile sneering, instead of a respectful argument.  

KC, I agree about the stateme

KC, I agree about the statement about Maher.  Unfortunately, he is motivated by ratings and not necessarily lucid thought.  However, regarding the Jim Jones event, if you believe that those people died for Jim Jones you're delusional.  They're belief in the religious ritual of "Translation" (mass suicide) to paradise was the reason they drank the kool aid.  Jones was simply the harbinger of doom and nothing more.  Your theory as applied to Al-Qaeda would have those 19 hijackers dying for Bin Laden and not for their belief in martyrdom. 

Sounds like pretty dangerous religion to me.

OK, fair enough. But let's sa

OK, fair enough. But let's say those 19 hijackers did kill, based on their religion. That doesn't explain why almost all the other billion Muslims didn't kill also. The vast majority of Muslims don't believe their religion forces them to kill. And if less than 1% of 1% of Muslims kill because of religion, then I can't see how you can blame the religion for the killing. There's a difference between [murderers using religion] and [religion causing murder]. Torquemada may have believed he was doing God's work, but that alone doesn't mean the Catholic church teaches torture.

Anything can be exploited. National pride can be corrupted into racist jingoism. Academic achievement can be corrupted into elitism. Family loyalty can be corrupted into the mafia. Every social institution can be corrupted. For almost every other social institution, however, we blame the corruptor ... except for religion. Why do we blame religion?

short insert

Said it the other night---religion is used as the EXCUSE for the violence. I have always believed that if we were all of one race and all of one religion, some malcontent would start either a new political party or new religion so there would be something to fight over.

misterb,Like I told my other

misterb,

Like I told my other half since I have known him as long as there are more than two men on earth, there will always be fighting...

...and the beat goes on....

LOL!

KC, I blame their radical, re

KC, I blame their radical, religious ideology for the events on 9/11.  I am sure you're aware of the word "Jihad" which means Holy War...not a territorial war or an arms race war but a war based on religion.  Of course not all Muslims subcribe to this interpretation of the Koran, therefore, casting a wide net here is akin to claiming that all Christians are judgemental and intollerant. 

I also blame people for their blind faith which leads to indoctrination and demise of their self determination, i.e Jonestown, Heaven's Gate & Waco. 

And, I agree that the Catholic Church doesn't offer courses on physical torture however, their psych department has had a pretty good record of psychological subjugation throughout history which is part of the "damage in other areas" I previously described.

However, your last statement on social institutions I simply don't agree with.  America has a peculiar appetite for insititutional apathy.  Capitalism, for example, is often blamed for the issues of the world and the institution is held to task, not the Rockefellers, Fords or the Icahns.  

Exactly DanKenton. To answer

Exactly DanKenton. To answer the challenge, you had to stretch religion way beyond any reasonable boundary. That’s the only way you can blame religion for the Iraq war, or any other American war. That’s what Maher does all the time; he distorts religion to condemn it.

Maher’s view is that religion gets people to believe by force. He considers religion the thought police, and he fancies himself the noble rebel. But I don’t know what religion he’s talking about. I’m Catholic, as Maher was. Catholics aren’t suppressing the discussions of faith and doubt. Go to any Catholic college and you’ll find whole library sections on discussions of faith and doubt. Every movement in theology, from Arianism to Manichaeism right up through Marxism and liberation theology, is a discussion of faith and doubt. Liberation theology is nothing but a questioning of faith and the role of religion. You can agree or disagree with the answers, but you can’t seriously claim that we’re not asking questions.

As for our Protestant friends, remember, Protestantism started because Luther asked questions. Who can seriously argue that Protestantism = intimidated silence? And lastly, the Jewish tradition of questioning faith and doubt is (at least) as rich as our own, if not much more.

Maher’s view of religion is not the adult view of a theologian or philosopher. His is the adolescent view of smart aleck who just got cracked by a nun with a yardstick. Get over it.

Hi, I said that very thing last week on another thread. The author of the book, "Einstein: His Life and Universe", Walter Isaacson, was on Laura Ingraham last week. Even though Einstein never professed Christ as Lord, he did certainly believe that the heavens and earth were too ordered to be by chance. Very interesting read, I will bet.

Book on Einstein

Thanks for the heads up, msh, on the Einstein book  Will certainly read it. Read one years ago on him  and he was certainly an interesting man (aside from being a genius).  Believed in God but didn't think he was one.  Unlike Bill Maher.

Bill, let me put this gently, the Bible outsells or outnumber any evolution theory books combined in your lifetime. And those who read and practice the teachings of the Bible are more intelliegent than you and your ilks' brains combined!

Of course, you will say nothing against the Islamofascists because you lack, shall we say, the testicular fortitude.

I'd rather put my faith in a supreme being that I have never seen nor heard than I would on a supreme idiot, like you, who I have seen and heard.

Oh, c'mon...you know he's lying about running for office. He would NEVER put himself up for that kind of inspection. As a 'comedian' (and I use the term loosely), he can say anything he wants and later claim 'it was a joke' or 'you took me out of context' because of his status as 'entertainer', again I am forced to use a term loosely.

Bill, to you I say read the following passage: Matthew 5:10. To ABC and Barbara Walters, I say shame on you!

"Not for fame or reward, not for place or rank, not lured by ambition or goaded by necessity. But in simple obedience to duty." - From the barracks at Ft. Benning

Matt 18:6 is another apt mess

Matt 18:6 is another apt message for people like Bill. He certainly works hard to offend Christians.

Bill Maher sucks and that all there is to say!

Denial is a river that will drown us all ...

I don't understand why the spacing in my post is screwy.  Hope you can follow along.          MAHER: Not in this country, but in Europe they’re over religion. It's this country is a very religious country.                                                                                                          Bill Maher is a raving idiot vying for Vice-Antichrist.  Rosie is vying for Secretary Jester of Steaming B.S., and Baher is vying for the antichrist's friggin' parrot ...                       Want to see and understand how Europe's shedding of religion has done them so good?  Read Claire Berlinski's book, Menace in Europe: Why the Continent's Crisis Is America's, Too. She lays out very clearly how Europe is on the brink of destruction (as followed and exampled by Glenn Beck on his radio/TV shows ... and Pat Dollard on his web site patdollard.com.  Go to Dollard's site right now where most of his postings are of Islamic violence throughout Europe.)  Right now Europe is exactly where it was in the 1930s before WWII in it's laziness of religion and self-preservation.  Couple that with the Muslim violence and you have the Nazi movement and eventual take over just around the bend.  Berlinski lays it all out like an algebra problem.       I talk to Europeans online.  The ones I talk to are scared to death about what is going on in their countries.  The Muslims violate at will, and the government looks the other way, and even punishes the indigenous peoples for "making trouble" when speaking out or reporting Muslim crime and violence.    Don't hear this in the MSM news?  Do you really think you ever will?      I am beyond annoyed with these mocking birds.  Watching them on TV isn't nearly as bad as listening to the obedient seals clapping and barking in loyal response to their every gaseous escape ... from whatever orifice.

Right now Europe is exactly where it was in the 1930s

"Right now Europe is exactly where it was in the 1930s before WWII in it's laziness of religion and self-preservation. "

Right on. The interesting part (and thank you for sharing), is that your contacts are "scared to death,etc". Why do you think the government looks the other way? Of particular interest is the fact that he same government will punish the indigenous. It is a mindset that requires trained pyschologist/psychiatrists to study and explain. have you ever noticed how police departments get all upset if a civilian should stop a crime? The extreme territorial attitude crushes citizens' will to help keep the peace. I believe it is the same strange attitude. With the news that we get from the MSM, I am left with the opinion that the rest of the world hates us. Your contacts in Europe and the things you share here tell me that is not a universal truth.

Anti-Christian Bigot

Ok, let's get this straight.  Maher says that, "...all faith is a distraction. I think it's the greatest con in the world. They're selling an invisible product".  And, speaking of knowing about heaven, "unless a god told you himself, and if he did we'll call belle view...

Mr. Maher, you are discounting the millions of actual born again Christians who have a vital, personal relationship with the risen Son of God himself.  Yes, God speaks to us by the Holy Spirit.  It isn't weird or mental.  God is real.

You discount the many documented miracles and healings in today's American churches.  It is real Mr. Athiest.  Why don't you sit down with some real men of God and debate them?!  The kind of men which have a true experience with God, not some dried up theologian who doesn't believe in God.

I propose that you sir are an extremist!  Let's see, how was it you said it?  Little old ladies lighting candles at church on Sunday are doing what?  "...enabl[ing] ..some thing that is happening world wide and killing more people".  That is extremism!!!

You are a threat to our nation.

All God's people say...AMEN!

All God's people say...AMEN!

We have now another racist in our midst. Maher is against all CITIZENS of heaven. I can't pray for his salvation now, for he trample the pearls- Word of God and God Himself. Faith, doesn't originate from individuals. It is initiated and freely given by the Holy Spirit to humble individuals who are truly seeking God- and that include all scientists, Bill. Grace is an unmerited favor from God. Maher, Behar, Rosie and like them will never understood what this means since its not science...Too bad.   

Comparison between Maher...

Let's compare quotes:

Maher:  "Pretty much all religion...is childish, destructive nonsense."

John Adams:  "The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity...I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immuntable as the existence and attributes of God."

Which one of these men do you consider to have more credibility?

not the guy who believes in

not the guy who believes in the god fairy

President John Adams

Perhaps I forgot to elaborate.

President John Adams - Founding Father of the most successful nation on earth.

Bill Maher - entertainer, socialist, ___________ fill in the blank.

Uh-huh

You do know that Thomas Jefferson, one of the atheists' most celebrated founding fathers of the United States, mentioned, specifically, the only reason that God was not mentioned in the US Constitution, was because there was no reason to reaffirm a truth of mankind, that would always exist?

Ooops sorry for the double post. I'm new both to this web blog and new to posting. I have say, though that I've enjoyed reading, and agreeing with, all of of these postings save for the one by the one who was writing about the first and last wars started by our country in the name of religion

I have never been to church, nor been baptized, but a friend of mine has and it seems to have done wonders for his mental health, because he and his wife enjoy it. So instead of criticizing it, maybe BM (bill maher/bowel movement) should look into it, maybe he would stop appearing as the little man that he is in intellect.
