Bill Maher Back in My Sights

I could care less how people live as long as it is not effecting my families and friends lives in a negative way. So it's ok if it happens 'over there' and not on your door step? Wonder if that is how the citizens of Boston felt before the Marathon bombings?

Cross, that is a libertarian ideology that the right wingers HATE, because they feel that we need big government to regulate our morals. Many on the right claim to support libertarians, but they really only tolerate them so they will vote for the republican candidate. This is what happened at the RNC, and it should be used an example of how republicans really feel about libertarians.

@crossbones27 I'm afraid I have to disagree. Killing a crowd of folks, or sawing off someone's head (which takes 3 or 4 minutes) is way different than being a Bible thumper even though they can be annoying and downright obnoxious seeming when they try to 'save' someone from perishing (or worse I guess). Even the ultra conservatives which would just as soon have government make laws on morality, aren't anywhere near as annoying as someone coming at you to lop of yer head.

Haven't heard of any Christian or Jewish 'extremists' taking hostages, but ok...I get your point.

@thegreatdebater At the risk of coming off as intolerant.. most protestant Christians do not consider Catholics with their priests, etc, to be the same 'religion'.. I suppose in a way it is.. I figure pedophiles go where there are kids, and if they are priests (or even pastors) I view them as counterfeit.. even counterfeit Christians.. Doesn't take away from the faith, but someone looking on from the outside wouldn't understand.. as the faith is viewed as the people who make it up (I suppose). I'm not sold completely on the idea that Islam is a religion of peace.. Just saying it doesn't make it so, and I don't see how anyone could equate even a Bible thumper as obnoxious as they can be in trying to 'save' folks from perishing, compares at all to someone sawing upon some poor saps neck for 3 or 4 minutes.. Or strapping a bomb to their son or daughter and sending them into a crowd. Or even simply applauding it. No not all Muslims approve of such, but a whole lot do.

@thegreatdebater Christians do NOT support hypocrisy. If you were to enter just about any congregation you'd hear sermon after sermon preaching against it. Left wing progressives on the other hand seem to thrive on it and encourage it, ever read Sal Alinsky's Rules for Radicals? An entire book on how to be a hypocrite effectively.

@flowerchilde Penn Jillette, of Penn and Teller said just about the same thing, he said a person who REALLY believes they are trying to save someone from hell was more honorable than those who believed in hell, yet never warned anyone of the consequences of not believing.

As a matter of fact, Maher is certainly quite the extremist himself1 which may account for his seeing christian folks as an enemy, and one as bad as jihadists.. if not worse

I have yet to hear of Christian or Jewish 'extremists' beheading or crucifying Muslims. Or of Christian or Jewish 'extremists' killing those who convert out of either of those religions. All the same, I think not. Nutters? Pretty tame designation for those who promise to kill those who won't submit to Islam.

Maher was actually sticking up for Christians in the video in a roundabout way. He wasn't attempting to compare Christians to Muslims. Quite the opposite.
