Bill Maher Slams Religious Conservatives: ‘Who Needs The Government If You Have Jesus?’

video
» 257 comments

In his last New Rule of the evening, Bill Maher argued that Christian populism and anti-intellectualism have been steadily growing in the Republican party, and that one of the core beliefs of the religious right in America today is that “knowing things has become an affront to the all-knowing.”

Maher decided if the Republican party wanted to nominate a devoutly Christian candidate, they might as well nominate Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Maher argued that on the football field Tebow was way in over his head, and rated his football abilities as sub-par, but it was Tebow’s Christian faith that was the main target of Maher’s jokes.

Tebow, apparently, used to write Bible verses in the charcoal under his eyes before a game, and Maher explained while some people would find the practice “creepy,” it’s the kind of thing Middle America would love him for. He described the “man crush” religious conservatives have on Tebow as “full-on gay.”

And while perusing the heavy criticism of Tebow by sports writers, it occurred to Maher that they were saying the same things about the NFL player that he’s been saying about Herman Cain and the Republican party at large.

“Knowing things is seen as an affront to the all-knowing. And there’s nothing they hate more than secular eggheads trying to fix problems like poverty and health care. Honestly, doesn’t a lot of the tea party philosophy boil down to ‘Who needs the government when you have Jesus?’”

Maher noted that both Rick Perry and Herman Cain have gone after Mitt Romney‘s health care plan for not being able to “fit on an index card,” and suspected from all the attacks on Romney by the Christian right that it is a very distinct possibility that Romney might be smart.

Meanwhile, as Maher claims, Cain, Perry, and Michele Bachmann have all said that God encouraged them to run for president. But if all three of them were telling the truth, it’s clear from Maher’s perspective that God is just “fucking with two of them.”

    As much as I love Bill Maher you have to admit that wasn’t one of his best shows. Especially compared to last weeks.

    I agree with Bill.  This country is pretty evenly split.

    Somehow that wasn’t written into the teabaggers DNA.

    Don’t go with the usual liberal tactic of bashing Christians to make your counter point. I’m an atheist.

    Also, I think the dipshit currently occupying the White House… You know, the one you voted for, claims to be Christian. That would mean he believes in Jeebus, you mindless bigot.

Turns out you’re way better as a volunteer commenter at Mediaite than at hurling the oblong ball.

  • Rex the Wonder God

    Too late Tex; everyone already knows America’s full of morons and is both moronic and malevolent about it. For example, leaving aside the whole Fannie-Freddie thing (a creation of many many decades ago, nothing to do with Obama at all), and leaving aside also the Solyndra thing (which was first picked for government support by the younger Bush administration), the Greek tragedy including the bail out controversy etc is a European community issue, not an American issue. We’re going to get caught up in the tsunami that the fall of the euro is about to cause to engulf the world economy, but there isn’t one thing that Obama had either the authority or capacity as president of the U.S. to do about any of that.

    Life itself is a mystery, scientists, liars, thieves, religious liars, zealots have all pondered the theory of life. No one understands life. What made the leap from infertile chemical compounds to life itself.

    ONLY MORONS think they can define or correlate the existence of life. Hmmmm, sounds familiar don’t it atheists? I mean, you stand there completely oblivious to the obviousness of your own infallible bullcrud, yet you stand in judgement of others that have taken the faith based initiative of existence?

    What a crock. You typically espouse your scientific basis for observation, yet you have NO EVIDENCE either way. Oh well, why not espouse some more crud to espouse your belief that LIFE spontaneously erupted out of some primordial ooze. It is about as legitimate as my belief that some higher power had something to do with it. By the way, if I am wrong, I die. If you are wrong, you burn in the hell fires of eternity.

    Hmmmmmm, faith is just another name for I believe in a true god. Might just as well attempt to destroy that belief as destroy your belief that you have a brain.

    Stlin, do you know Maher? Personally? No? I thought not.

    ANYONE that states they love someone that they do not know personally, is basically psychologically problematic. But hey, you keep with that theory, that YOU love him for some unknown reason, maybe he will quit his ways and actually believe that love is a relevant or actual believable emotion. See, Maher is insane, he believes any emotion is corruptible and irrelevant. From his own morally corrupt mouth.

    Oh well, you freaks are few and far between, just do not go out there and kill any of your heroes when they do not return your “love”. Alright?

And don’t give me that line that he is only doing cause he knows how much the right hates gays. If that is the case then he is using gay people to his own political end. I am not sure which is worse.

    You’ve thrown around a lot of crap there, but let me educate you: atheists don’t say they “KNOW” how the universe was created or claim to have all the answers for everything. That’s what separates them from the “faithful,” who simply take for granted that the fantastical bible stories they were were told as children must be true, even though we know next-to-nothing about the originators of those stories (or how they were edited repeatedly over the centuries), cannot possibly validate their claims and must reject all the scientific knowledge we’ve accumulated over two millennia to reconcile them with what we know today.

    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Faith does not provide it.

    The lint on my foot is more hilarious than anything Bill Maher has ever said.

  • MontyPyth0n

    I don’t hate gays, never claimed to. I don’t love Tebow either. Don’t know the guy. My point is, Maher used “full on gay” as a negative. He was not being complimentary. If he meant gay as a negative than where is your outrage. I thought you lefties were tolerant.

    If Maher was using the statement to further his point that the right hates gays, than he was using gay people as a tool to his political end. Which is probably far worse.

    As for intellectual, you missed my point completely, and then projected your own opinion of the right onto me. Stick with what is posted. At no point did I say I hate gays or love Tebow, or claimed my support for the Bachman’s. I only pointed out the lefts selective outrage. Just think if Rush Limbaugh made the exact same statement. What would be your reaction then…..

  • MontyPyth0n

    What if a conservative made the same exact statement that someone was “full on gay” in order to disparage them…. What would your response be then…..

     

  • MontyPyth0n

    he did not once talk about homophobia. He made a remark that people are “full on gay” in a negative light. He wasn’t making a compliment, which means that being “full on gay” is a bad thing.

    If he was trying to stick it to the right with that statement, then he was using gay people as tool to his political end, which I believe is far worse.

    Just imagine your own response should a right wing person uttering the exact same words….

  • MontyPyth0n

    I don’t go to church as I am agnostic. I believe there is a higher power, but do not follow any organized religion as I believe they are corruptible. I think it is foolish to think that we are here due just a big bang of something from nothing, but that is only my opinion.

    As for church goers being told what to think, is it any different than bowing at the alter of a government that tells you what to think or what to do? People go to church by their own choice. A nanny state government is forced upon everyone.

    A.) try to make a coherent point, and

    Stevie, you poor sorry, barely-literate sap. Maher doesn’t disguise his contempt for Christians in the least. He even made an entire movie about it. Please look up the word “disguise,” because it doesn’t mean what you think it means.

    Also—and this is just a suggestion—but when you call somebody “uneducated,” it’s probably a good idea to not misspell words, even the difficult ones like “or” and “atheist,” and to use English-standard punctuation where applicable. For example, your opening sentence is “Lie much our are you blind.” That is an interrogative statement and should close with what we liberals call a “question mark,” and it’s noted with this admittedly arcane symbol: “?” Of course, that’s not the only thing wrong with your very first sentence in the post you call Maher “uneducated,” but maybe you’re starting to get the point:

    You’re an idiot, and calling Maher “uneducated” only makes you seem exponentially stupider.

  • Jane

    There are a lot of things that are common but not sensible.  Like the blind following of those who are ignorant of the subject matter of which they speak. There is an enormous amount of proof that validates the life of JESUS and the validity of the Bible.(Far more than any other faith or secular historical work that has been passed down in any culture) . This can be studied from many different angles….historical,  anthropological, etc….. Do you people even know how many have attempted to disprove the Bible or the life of JESUS? Those who were honest skeptics and genuinely looked at the facts came to believe in JESUS for themselves.  Unfortunately, most will never bother to honestly seek out the truth even from a natural stand point let alone doing the simplest thing which is to ask GOD to show them the truth (of course HE only responds to a sincere heart).  Many of us out here are not rednecks, nuts or crazies.  We come in all races, all shapes and sizes and all backgrounds.  The only difference between us and you is that we KNOW our maker and you do not.

  • Anonymous

    Maher would still be funny without having to curse. That I agree with.

  • Jane

    Yes, Wendy I have.  That’s the difference here. That is why we don’t understand eachother. You think anyone who says that is crazy or a liar but there are many of us having encounters with our maker (The one true GOD) that you know nothing about….sadly. Most people think that this is a debate of your theory versus my theory; of your ideas versus my ideas but it is much deeper than that.  He is not some far off abstract image for those of us who have genuine relationship with HIM.  He is very real.  You shouldn’t confuse Him with the mistakes of men or what some hateful smartaleck, who doesn’t know a thing says on tv. I hope you seek that out for yourself! If your the type that needs actual proof, then study it out….it doesn’t fall apart as easily as so many of you think.  If your more about an actual experience then just ask HIM with a SINCERE heart to reveal himself to you.  You may not have a lightning bolt type experience as some have but if you sincerely want to know HIM and what is true, HE will respond immediately or through a process.  I am sure everything I have written here is just about driving many of you crazy but I maintain that HE is real and many of us on this earth have indeed met HIM.

    Why is it ok for a liberal to say what they think but not anybody else? Yes, I believe everything happens for a reason, sometimes it is not apparent until much later in your life. And why do you sound like you are so upset about someone’s religious beliefs whatever they are? When people are not bothered by something they usually don’t think much about it and the mention of it does not cause them to go off verbally at anyone. Muslims have their beliefs, Hindus, Hare Krishna’s, Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists. What do you care?

    While I believe Jesus was a man during the first century. I do have problems with Christians believing that God created the earth and all things in it in six 24 hour days. Now, if you agree that since the Bible says that to God a day is like 10,000 years….I think it’s more likely that those 6 days took what we know would say that “God’s” day are what we would call 756 million years each.

    For those Christians that believe God created the earth around Oct 24,4004 BCE (Catechism Class)…and yet believe that Dinosaurs were animals on earth…And if there were Dinosaurs that man lived among them like on the Flintstones. Like you can see at the “Creationism Museums”, I would say that I don’t believe that God created the earth.

    Now Jane…You are aware that the Christian God, is the same God of the Muslims who is also the same God to the Jews…When you know that in Arabic God is Allah, even Christian Arabs call him Allah.

    If you would like to learn more things about Jesus’ brothers & sisters read the Koran. That’s where you’ll find out the most about them. You probably aren’t aware of the fact that this year near Christmastime Muslims will celebrate the Jews being let go by the Pharaoh of Egypt. While I’m sure that your minister probably has told you that Muslims worship Mohammed…They don’t they just believe he was the last prophet of God…They also believe in Adam & Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses..Jacob, Elisha, Enoch, David, Solomon, and even Jesus.

  • george14

    Maher is right and wrong. Right because those extremist “Christians” ( who look very much alike the extremist Muslims) negate evolution and say that “Earth is 6,000 or so years old.’  They are just plainly rejecting modern science in almost everything.

    And Maher is also wrong when he says that conservatives “don’t need politicians when they have Jesus’. Wrong. They would want to have Jesus, but they don’t, Jesus wills support health care for the poor, a society which is far less unjust, and love for thy neighbor. Surely those guys don’t have J esus and they need a surrogate….hmm how about Cain?

  • Railboxca

Where you are harmed if you want to get married, where you are provided FREE abortions, where you are rewarded for NOT being productive to society. Now, enter the truth, tell me you weenies, how many people have exited that welfare state?

    Come on, you LEFTISTS can tell me, show me the studies of the encouraging stories where people on the dole have conquered everything and got out of the system.

    I mean, you can at least come up with ONE ANECDOTAL story, right?

    Fr   G,,,ing guy is both a fool and an idiot but he’s right if people fallowed the ten commandments we wouldn’t need a government however only Christians have the convictions to try to do that!

    follow the 11th commandment…keep thy religion to thyself…and out of politics

    We have and look what we have to show for it.   Maybe its time to give a little religion a try. 

  • HawkCW4

    Man what are you smoking.  You must get TV/Radio beamed to you that we here in Arizona never see.  Never have I seen any on the right making statements anywhere close to claiming they want religion to control anything.  Why dont you and those like you knock it off and try sticking to truth and facts for a change.  YEA I KNOW<  The left pounds those principles of BS, INNUENDO, and just outright lying into  your pathetic little brains from birth.  No chance you can actually think for yourself.

  • HawkCW4

    And can you provide a name of someone that tried to ram religion down your throat?  Just one will do.  I believe everyone should be given that chance to accept or deny,  but I hardly would call that ramming it down your throat.  Maybe you are a bit thin skinned huh.

    Wake up friend,  at the rate Obama is taking us down this road, Islam WILL BE THE RELIGION and YOU WILL BE FORCED TO PRACTICE IT.

    Things that aren’t real can’t solve real problems. But what the hell..you are right in that it can’t get much worse than what is going on now.

    The only “proof” you have that Jesus ever existed is the Bible.  One book.  A book of which we don’t even know who the author(s).  A book with so many errors it’s laughable.  A book credited to a God who is said to be all knowing, all good, all powerful that has hundreds of errors.  As I noted, we don’t even know who the real authors were.  And you say you have proof.  That’s absurd on the face of it.  All you have is a belief.  No proof what-so-ever.

    Of COURSE he’s real, just like all the other man-gods in the past, all with God daddies and virgin moms.  He’s just the newest model.
