Bill Maher: Conservative Christian Values 'Love Thy Neighbor' to 'F*ck Off and Die'?

[telemann]

Bill Maher takes on some religious Republicans and conservatives religious justification for gutting social justice programs; and the mean-spirited nature of some Christians.
Mr. Maher mocked the Christian message of “I believe in charity, just not for people who need it” and concluded that “there’s always a good moral Christian to tell everyone

This is the first time I heard of those fake ten-dollar bills. That's quite the spirit,
and if I got one, I might have to go to church, to do what Maher advises at the end.

This kind of BS is exactly why I'm not really interested in the more Conservative denominations that I was baptized in anymore, and am instead looking at one of those which is more progressive and socially open-minded. As you can imagine, my choices are few.

You can always try the Catholics. Although they are doctrinally conservative, I don't think they do crap like this. Moreover, American Catholics run pretty free on the social issues, regardless of the Vatican.

Catholics have been leading the fight to exclude contraception from health care coverage and threw their support against Prop 8 in California for marriage equality so I wouldn't endorse them yet.

MTE. About half the stuff Bill Maher says ticks me off, and he has just as big of an ego and is just as out to make a career for himself as anyone else in Hollywood. But this is something I agree with him on 110%. These so-called Godly Tea Party and GOP politicians are charlatans. They worship Mammon, but present themselves as Christian to get those votes. And it is working - we all know how many real Christians vote for them because they've fallen for the lies and fearmongering and insincerety.

That's really all the GOP is built on these days: fearmongering.

Oh yeah, me too, I hate Maher but he's dead right here.

The religious right and the GOP who services them has to start realizing that "Family Values" needs to be more than banning abortion.

They already do. It also includes opposition to marriage equality. :D

It's OK because Juh-HEE-zuh-us says for you to do it, not for the gubmint to do it.

Watching the episode now. The NSA whistle blower is eye opening. "We are becoming east germany". Hmm.

[fizzyland]

I think our intelligence services make East Germany look like amateurs.
