Everyone Is Shocked About Something Bill Maher Has Said Before (Click here to read more)
Tom Kludt - March 18, 2014.
Bill Maher has been proudly and militantly anti-religion for years. Everyone - including the people who are stunned by his latest commentary - acknowledges this.
.
But the reaction to the closing segment of last Friday's episode of "Real Time" has suggested that his most recent comments were extreme even for Maher. They were not.
.
The target of the comedian's wrath was the blockbuster epic "Noah," which centers around a biblical tale that's routinely drawn Maher's mockery.
.
He rolled his eyes at polls showing that a majority of Americans believe the story of Noah's Ark and said the Genesis flood narrative is "immoral."
.
"It's about a psychotic, mass murderer who gets away with it and his name is God," Maher said. "Genesis says God was so angry with himself for screwing up when he made mankind so flawed that he sent the flood to kill everyone - everyone. Men, women, children, babies. What kind of tyrant punishes everyone just to get back at the few he's mad at? I mean, besides Chris Christie."
.
"Hey God, you know you're kind of a dick when you're in a movie with Russell Crowe and you're the one with anger issues," Maher added, punctuating a zinger that has been met with gasps.
