Bill Maher and his "New Rules" for oppressed Christians...
"The only thing George Bush and Jesus have in common, is that they both went into their daddy's business and got crucified for it"

That's a freaking brilliant statement right there.


He had a few more...

"On this Easter Sunday, let's all go down to the zoo and get some lions, and we can feed them Tom DeLay".

And...

"The state of Missouri recently decided to make it law that Christianity is the "Majority" Religion" in the state.
Like people were saying "I'd like to go to Missouri but, it's too...Jewish"

And the end of his rant that Rohrbacher guy looked like he ate a bad hot dog.

Asshole.

catch the re-run.

2. "make it law that Christianity is the 'Majority Religion' in the state. "
HUH?? The majority of citizens are either Christian or they aren't. Having a law that says Christianity is the 'Majority Religion' doesn't make any sense - all it does is state a fact. It's like having a law that says the majority of grass is green. :shrug:


I love the Bush/Jesus line! :rofl:

3. It's more insidious than that
The resolution would recognize "a Christian god," and it would not protect minority religions, but "protect the majority's right to express their religious beliefs.

The resolution also recognizes that, "a greater power exists," and only Christianity receives what the resolution calls, "justified recognition."

Basically, it would give Christians the legal right to persecute people of other religions, and people of other religions would have absolutely no recourse under the law.

8. These people piss on the First Amendment
They only trot it out when their rights are affected.

The very idea of making any poor lion eat Tom (roach boy) Delay is just plain cruel. I'm calling the ASPCA! :banghead:
