An opinion piece from Bill Maher condemning Christian hypocrisy in celebrating the death of an enemy.

I think that Bill's piece proves that Christianity and the attendant dialogue are still very much a part of our culture, even if the religion itself has reduced influenced today.

I would like the press to ask every leader of every country who is joining the US on this mission of terrorism, that question. My view on Hussein and OBL, they knew too information on the US and had to be dealt with, plus the fact, US wants to control over the Middle-East. Besides, war is big business, the USA is the #1 export of weapons. I don't think there's too many governments that ask their God for forgiveness for killing. Maher is right but then were does that leave Israel on that same question?

Is much less a concern than the hypocrisy of the typical liberal atheist who rationalizes and condones the murder of civilians when they are committed in the name of fighting 'western imperialism'.

Yep..this is why PM Diefenbaker had JFK assassinated....he knew too much!

Where is the hypocrisy though ? There's nothing in atheism that denies the necessity of war in some cases is there ?

No, you're wrong. JFK was killed because he had too many people within the US government that wanted him dead. The CIA, the military, the oil companies, Johnson, Bush, the list goes on. Canada hasn't gotten around to killing one of are own, as yet.

There is nothing in Christianity that says capital punishment is wrong.

I just watched the video. It is the most pathetic commentary I have seen in a long time. He starts out by admitting he has no problems with shooting bin laden but criticised Christians for failing it uphold his interpretation of their beliefs.

Far from "nailing it", Mahar shows that he is quite a contemptible individual.

There is nothing in atheism that denies the desire for war in any case, necessary or not.

Who is condoning it?

This might be the dumbest thread ever created.

Except that whole "turn the other cheek" thing.

Except that whole "eye for an eye" thing. Yep, plenty of contradictions. Nothing new. Apparently this is an epiphany to Maher and Hardner.

Yes, but Jesus' word transcends the Old Testament if the two ever contradict (for anyone called Christian, that is):

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[a] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."
