Jesus: Wrong for America

Bill Maher's thoughts on "value voters".

And I know that if you can look at the war in Iraq, the melting environments and the descent of America into "idiocracy," and still think our biggest problems are boobies during the Super Bowl and the "war on Christmas," then you don't have values, you have issues.

If you had "values," you'd draw the line at torture. But a startling number of people who call themselves Christians don't. And I'm pretty sure if you asked, "What would Jesus veto," it wouldn't be health care for sick kids.

Why, it's almost like "values voters" don't really believe Jesus was right about anything. [in mock attack ad voice] "Jesus Christ: wrong on gays, wrong on taxes, wrong on torture, and wrong for America."


I wonder if Beliefnet would let Bill Maher join their blog discussion of Evangelicals. Yeah, probably not. I'm not sure I would want him too, either. He's more amusing when he can wear his comedian hat.
