During an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan on Monday evening, Real Time’s Bill Maher discussed Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow and shared a revelation many Christians will find amusing at best, enraging at worst. Yes, according to Maher, Jesus Christ was a “Palestinian” who “walked on water and did magic tricks.”
Maher stated:
You are allowed to have your opinion. You’re allowed to have your opinion that a Palestinian 2000 years ago walked on water and did magic tricks and he was really still his own father and all that stuff. That’s fine. You can have whatever opinion you want, and the fact that a billion other people believe it gives you a lot of strength and credence. But I also have the opinion that that’s ridiculous, that it’s anachronistic, this is the 21st century.

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 6:32pmI do believe that there is a God of the universe and that Jesus is the only Son of God. I believe He said that ‘it is appointed to a man once to live and then the judgement’.
If I am wrong it does not matter — both Maher and I will end up in nothingness or will come back as worms.
If he is wrong, he is doomed to spend eternity in a place of suffering and away from the God of love.
I like my position better…

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 6:49pmMuhammed was a direct descendant of Ishmael; Abram’s bastard son with the Egyptian maid Hagar. The arabic Moon God became conflated with heretic Christian and Jewish beliefs whom they call Allah. But this Allah had two daughter goddess. In the Satanic Verse (remeber Salman Rushdie?), Allah has dialogue with Muhammed about this and later the Muslims said it was really Satan misleading Muhammed. Point is that Islam is a bastardized religion which takes elements of pagan arab myth and religion and blends it with heretical christian sects and jewish arab tribe lore. The only true GOD is Yahweh and his only begotten son Lord Jesus the Messiah of Jewish Old Testament Prophecies! Ask the Hungarian Chief Rabbi who converted; ask the hundreds of thousands of Messianic Jews who feel they are Jews and followers of Christ. So no bet hedging only commitment or willful rebellion. MARANATHA !

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 6:49pmHere is the fault in your premise. i can not choose to believe in Jesus anymore than I can choose to believe in unicorns. The mind takes all facts into account and believes what it believes. If I were to say I believe just to go to heaven….well, couldn’t god see through that?
On the other hand, God (if he exists) gave me my brain. I used that brain to study the bible extensively for years. I used it to study other middle eastern religions of the time period. My conclusion is that Christianity is very similar to religions that preceded it, and even stole their ideas. Jesus was not the first to be born of a virgin, have 12 disciples, raise the dead, be crucified and arise 3 days later. all of that had already been done more than once.
No, I use my brain to come to a well informed conclusion….I just dont see a creator holding that against me. I figure he would want me to use the brain he gave me instead of just believing everything I am told by my parents or church.
That said, I used to believe with every ounce of my being. That belief is what compelled me to study the bible. I used to tell people before they said the salvation prayer that once saved, you were always saved. My question to christians is, ‘Am I still saved?’

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 6:59pm@ Moderation…I believe Christians and Jews and Islamist all pray to the same God. That is the God of Abraham. The difference would be that Islamist believe Mohammad was divine prophet and it is through his word that they will find redemption. Christians believe Jesus was their savior. Jews are still waiting. Islamist have a problem and are seperated from Christians and Jews in that Mohammad instructed them to go against the “Ten Commandments” and kill non-believers of Islam. God would not use a man to sit in judgement of his finest creation, “Mankind”. God would also not ask man to kill his finest creation. God is perfectly capable of handling that himself.
I also don’t believe Texan is hedging his/her bets? Sometimes it just easier to pick your fights…some aren’t worth picking. Texan believes with all his/her being that God is real and that Jesus is her savior. Those of us who believe fight a constant battle with those that don’t believe. God is mystery to everyone, choosing to find him is personal and extremely rewarding. I found God in Sept of 09, after I turned 40. It is absolutely amazing what you find when you look. I was so wrong for so long. It‘s a real shame that so many people can’t step outside the box because it isn’t cool and discover what lies ahead. You have no idea what you will miss if you don’t create your own heaven.

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 7:30pmHey MOD,
You don’t have to reply, I’m just dropping in to point out your seeming lack of truthfulness.
Your claim has always been that you have no problem whatsoever with anyone following their own particular faith, and that you actually respect them for it, and get along fine with all your Christian, and Jewish, and Mormon friends and family members.
Your other claim was that you only spout off with your anti-religious snipes and vitriol when faith based people put you down for being an atheist and try to shove their beliefs down your throat and try to establish a theocracy.
I didn’t see any of those things being presented in this story.
So why are you here taking cheap pot shots?
Do all atheists behave as you do?
Again, no need to reply, the questions are rhetorical in nature.

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 8:13pmTo puravida56 in regard to your question about whether you are “still saved”
Isn’t the answer that only you and God know? I expect to be mighty surprised when I arrive at the judgment seat and find out who the Son of Man sends to the goats and who joins the sheep.
I think God must laugh a lot a those of us who like to consider ourselves rational intellectuals. Not that God doesn’t want us to use our brains for dealing with earthly matters – but that we assume our earthly brains understand God’s mind. As 1 Cor 2:11 tells us “For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.”
It’s intellectually commendable for you to defend those – such as yourself – honestly questioning God. The little bit of God I believe I know can handle the questions. Do you really want to defend a comedian who has and will do just about anything to bring attention to himself and his lowest rated in his time slot show?

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 8:29pm@MODERATIONISBEST..I’m not hedging my bets..the only God is YHWH and His Son YASHUA/Jesus who was with God creating from the foundations of the world..for Him by Him and through Him was every thing created and without Him, nothing was created..Had Yashua not been born to a virgin..not crucified for our sins, and risen the third day and still lives..we would not be here..YHWH would have already destroyed us..As for what if Allah is the only God? Ha.. What if the Vatican in that era realized that they needed to raise up a mighty army of the children of Ismael..since they were of the bastard child of Abraham and who were not joint heirs..so as to take Jerusalem for the Holy City for the Vatican..and what if the children of Ismael decided not to turn it over to the Vatican..and not only that..but wanted Europe as well.. and what if the Pope raised a mighty army of his own to fight back the muslims? and this fight would last 2000 yrs in which millions of Christian protestants would be murderd and millions of bibles burned to prevent the truth from being known? The Muslims only have a prophet Mohammed because of the Augustinian Monks and the Pope.. His older wife? A rich widow friend of the Popes..Mohammad got manipulated. Mohammad never wanted to be known as a prophet.but the wife insisted..So a created religion and a created god is greater than the Creator? Me thinks not!!

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 1:39am@PURAVIDA56 – This is functionally a psychological objection to what is (more or less) a version of Pascal’s wager, not a philosophical one. Pascal himself was confronted with such non-philsophical objections and therefore recommended a pragmatic psychological remedy:
“True. But at least learn your inability to believe, since reason brings you to this, and yet you cannot believe. Endeavour then to convince yourself, not by increase of proofs of God, but by the abatement of your passions. You would like to attain faith and do not know the way; you would like to cure yourself of unbelief and ask the remedy for it. Learn of those who have been bound like you and who now stake all their possessions. These are people who know the way which you would follow and who are cured of an ill of which you would be cured. Follow the way by which they began, by acting as if they believed, taking the holy water, having masses said, etc. Even this will naturally make you believe and deaden your acuteness—“But this is what I am afraid of.”—And why? What have you to lose?”
Pascal understood that behavior so often influences belief.

Both “Pascal’s Wager” and the supposed rebuttal, the “Atheist Wager” are logically problematic. These are admittedly not entirely sound arguments, however “Pascal’s Wager” carries with it the potentiality of a greater winning bet, so between the two of them, I’ll take Pascal any day.

The movie was free one weekend from my provider, and it was so insulting that it sucked me in. But, during that film, Mr. Maher, admitted that at one point he had a crisis in his life (I believe it was a health issue) and he revealed he found himself making deals with G-d. He didn’t say which one. It seems there are those who will ignore the higher power of G-d, until there is not anyone else to turn to. Gee, I can just imagine how happy that makes G-d!

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 8:23amBeing a good Christian is much like being a good patriot. Research the information for yourself. Jesus was here and he is a miracle worker. Many witnessed his miracles. Raising the dead is not a magic trick. For the non-believers out there: the witnesses to the miracles Jesus did were not all believers. The Jews also witnessed the same miracles and wrote about them, although they believed that it was a devil at work because, let’s face it, they would be out of a job if they accepted him as the Messiah. It is the written history of non-believers that has taken my faith to a higher level. So many people waste their time trying to find out where Christians are misguided (see Bill Maher, who shares many of the attitudes I had when I was twelve) instead of trying to find out where Christians got it right. I believe in Intelligent Design. Look up Fibonacci on youtube. I find ID to be far more likely than a Darwinist view. Maher will look down his nose at Creationism, but fully buy that like come from mud an a crystal that had the 26 basic proteins needed to form a single cell and then mutate into all the creatures of the earth. That is equivalent to finding a watch in the woods and thinking it mutated from the same process. Or the other Darwinian theory… spacemen.

You are so misinformed, or self-deluded…I’m not sure which. I don’t understand how people come to the conclusion that there are many ways to Heaven. John 14:6 plainly states:
“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father except by Me.”
True Christians are not judgmental. We are hopeful. We hope and pray that all will come to God … through Jesus … even though we know not all will make it. It is about a decision. Belief is a hard thing to force, but it comes from giving up oneself’s arrogance and belief that you can figure it out on your own….or that your logic will lead you.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
CAN YOU LOOSE IT…? YES…
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, IF THOU CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS: otherwise THOU SHALT ALSO BE CUT OFF.

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 3:50pmPuravida – If you are saved, you will come back to the fold. If you are not, you never really were. You may have had an emotional experience at some point that some faulty minister or preacher led you to believe was a Saving Grace experience, and since turned your back on organized, current world religion. If that is the case, I do not blame you and I urge you to turn to Christ.
As far as Christianity happening before under another name at another time, I am familiar with some of those stories as well. Satan was here from the beginning and freely roamed in and out of gatherings with The Sons of God. At one point, he was regarded as The Angel of Light, Lucifer means “light-bearer.”
So, the question is – Wouldn‘t the highest ranking angel in God’s army have known the battle plan? If he did, and then was cast out because of his own pride, would he not try all sorts of lies in order to get a jumpstart on the war?
Its perfectly ok to use your brain instead of blindly following your parents or church, I beg you to do so. Christianity is a personal religion, based soley on each individual’s relationship with God The Father through God The Son by the power of God The Holy Spirit. I pray you, and all others seek that Grace that brings Saving Faith.

Yes. Maher is one of the few militant atheists to criticize Islam — but who is on the receiving end of the vast majority of his logically incoherent ire? Christianity of course. How brave is it then that the surplus of his attacks are on those who have been taught to turn the other cheek, rather than the ones who with every verbal attack the odds increase that his his comments will be met with violence?
Maher is your typical cowardly atheist. Oh so brave and quick to attack the very foundation of what allows him to safely do so, but much less inclined to attack that which may do him harm. Maher should probably count himself lucky that this Blaze article probably got more hits than his show (or his appearance on Piers Morgan) gets viewers.
Yes, this last bit was sarcasm — but even with the tongue-in-cheek exaggeration aside, no one outside of a small subset of liberals and letter-of-complaint secularists actually watch Bill Maher. Everyone else simply sees him for what he is…a coward, safe haven provocateur, and a half-wit.

It never ceases to amaze me that atheists continue to cluelessly pound the podium with S. Roberts’ “One Less God” argument. This crude attempt at atheist witticism fails simply because it neglects to take into account actual Christian theology. Christian theology admits the existence of gods, but affirms only one God. Just because Christians don’t worship them says nothing of their non-existence, therefore the “I just believe in one fewer god than you do” argument is patently and demonstrably false.

Keep in mind, I’m not saying I believe specifically that Zeus as described exists or existed (in the case of the Greco-Roman gods, I’m inclined not to), but certainly other entities who have been worshipped as gods potentially exist (Moloch, Lucifer). Even if we take the historical approach to claims of divine personhood on Earth, I certainly believe that, for example, Buddha was real and existed, though I don’t worship him.
Just because certain Christians do not have an entirely accurate grasp on the theology of their religious belief, it does nothing to falsify that religious belief.

Yes, but this also goes to what you said about Maher in his movie and the people he talked to.
It all comes down to how you look at something.
For instance, you could look at Atheists. Let’s say you have 100 atheists, and 5 of them are really smart, and are able to articulate their point soundly, etc. The other 95 or so, come across like idiots who only use talking points and aren’t interested in having a logical discussion. It his human nature for you to only care about the 95 people(and to attribute those 95 people to the other 5 as well), because they are the overwhelming majority, and usually silence the 5 atheists.
It’s the same for Christianity or any religion, or any group. There are usually a handful of really smart, intelligent, enlightened people(who are able to argue their point), and the rest are just a mob that are barely able to comprehend what they are saying and are usually unable to successfully describe their position.

Sure. I agree that there are low hanging fruit on any tree. Trust me when I say that I’ve picked a lot of low hanging atheist fruit. However, if I’m going to be intellectually honest, I need to aim higher and confront those who pose a challenge for me.
In his film, Maher simply attacked low hanging fruit, or at the very least those who could not cogently defend their position. He did this simply to make his own position seems stronger and increase his odd, narcissistic need to feel intellectually superior, despite him being at best a midwit whose profession of comedian makes him seem smarter than he actually is.
However, the thing to keep in mind is that just because someone believes that the grass is green yet cannot explain why it is green does not mean that the grass is, in fact, not green. To be fair, this also extends to atheists who cannot articulate their position. They COULD still be right, but the difference is that atheists claim reason and logic as their foundation for non-belief. Attacking their reason and logic (or lack thereof) essentially erodes their position, while those with faith still (for lack of a better term) have faith.

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 12:14amChameleonx is absolutely correct. There is no proof Jesus was a real person. You can read about all the accounts and testimonies and gospels to your hearts content but until I see some ID, video, DNA, multiple portraits, 2nd coming, voices in my head, etc.. no one will convince me he existed 2000 years ago. I‘m jewish and I still don’t believe Abraham existed.. I don‘t believe in anything I don’t see evidence for because I am not manipulable or gullible.

You realize that the “Jesus didn’t exist” argument isn’t doing your overall position any favors, right? Outside of fringe atheist pseudo-historians like Richard Carrier, the general belief among historians is that Jesus lived, died, and was thought to be resurrected by his followers. The dissent is typically not in his existence, but rather his divine personhood. Additionally, if any of you did the historical digging you claim to have done, you would clearly understand the Bible is not a single source, but a collection of historical sources, many of them still contemporary to the time of Jesus, though collected after his death.
Needless to say, I think it would be difficult for any historian to come to your shared conclusion after reviewing the canonical gospels, the noncanonical literature, the letters of Paul, and the cohesion of the three authors of the synoptic gospels, all while taking into account pre-Markan traditions and oral formulations, not to mention various possible external sources such as Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Suetonius, Mara bar Serapion, Thallus, Lucian, and Celusus, not to mention rabbinic sources.
But hey, far be it from me to judge…I’m 100% certain that all of you did deep research of everything mentioned above in order to come to your oh-so reasonable and logical conclusions. Cheers!

Your just another example of an angry god hating person who feels they must deny it so as to pretend it doesn’t exist then maybe you can just live with yourself in this life without feeling your making a dreadful mistake! This is why people like yourself and millions of others like Maher are soooo unhappy and their lives are sooooo messed up with failed marriages, failed businesses, failed relations, failed everything with no blessing or life m,ore abundant than any other non-believer.

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 6:30pmMoreso as a historian Maher’s a drooling idiot. Palestine didn’t exist at the time of Jesus. Christ was a jew. Born a jew and he practiced judaism (he celebrated passover/pasach at the last supper). He travelled to Jerusalem a number of times to attend the great temple. He reiterated the T’orah a number times in the New Testament. Nazareth of his time is in the territory Maher wants to sell as “Palestine”. Nazareth was a backwater at the time but historical records are very clear that it was VERY Jewish. Jesus had no affiliation to arab culture. More to the point…“Palestine” didn’t exist at the time of Jesus. Israel, Samaria, Judea were the territories all acknowledged as Jewish/hebrew. The Romans renamed the territory “Palestina” after the Jewish revolt of AD 70 in order to extinguish Jewish identity from the region. Maher is just too much of an idiot for words and should keep his appalling grasp of history to himself.

Your ratings comment appears stated by someone who doesn’t actually look at ratings, but simply believes that constant media exposure must somehow equate to viewers. Stewart gets just under 2 million viewers nightly for original airings, doing about a 0.8 in the 18-49 demo. It regularly gets beat by reality programming on 2nd tier cable networks (ex. Storage Wars, A&E) and demolished by thrice-nightly cable reruns of The Big Bang Theory. Even cable reruns of network shows that skew older (Law & Order SVU) still beat The Daily Show in overall viewers and almost match it in the 18-49 demo.
Upstarts like Top Gear USA on History (which I ‘m really starting to enjoy btw) matches The Daily Show in the demo, and The O’Reilly Factor on FNC also beats Stewart in overall viewers, and comes close to matching him in younger viewers (25-54 for news) and this is on a news channel. Stewart hit a high mark last summer, but that is long gone.
While The Daily Show is put to shame by the most popular cable programming, it sill does better than Colbert or Maher; Colbert is far below Stewart’s numbers, and Maher’s show is happy to break over one million weekly or .05 in the demo, being routinely beaten by original Friday night dramatic programming on rival paid premium networks with not nearly the subscriber base that HBO has. Four times as many people watch “Gold Rush” on Discovery than those who watch Maher’s show.
Love the handle, by the way.
