"Unlike most non-believers, who are generally content to respect the right of most Americans to believe in God, guys like Maher want a brawl," Donahue said Jan. 7.

And of course, Maher said nothing about your right to believe in God. He just thinks it's foolish to do so. And you know what? He's entitled to that opinion and has the right to say it.

Donahue needs a cockpunch in the worst sort of way.

I wouldn't mind seeing Donahue vs. Maher in a Thunderdome match.

He really looks like he needs to poo. I think that's where his anger is coming from.

And Bill Maher is not a "prominent atheist" He believes in Godm but does not subscribe to organized religion.

Who, exactly, is this "Godm" of whom you speak? I've never heard of any religion which whorships a being called "Godm."

/Or did you just "failm" in a most spectacular way?

 
SphericalTime [TotalFark] 2008-01-31 04:55:21 PM  
I would pay to see that.

Also, Donahue is a scumbag and the Catholic League is a sad pitiful organization that gets way to much press coverage.

I've seen fails far more spectacular than that.

That Maher deigned to question the divinity of Jesus Christ -- saying he was more skeptical of Christian mythology than that UFOs regularly visit earth -- sent Donahue into an apoplectic rage.

1) How many people who regularly read that site even know what apopletctic means without having to look it up? I suspect not many.

2) If your faith is that weak that someone like Bill Maher can get your panties in a bunch, perhaps the problem lies not with him but with you.

"Unlike most non-believers, who are generally content to respect the right of most Americans to believe in God, guys like Maher want a brawl," Donahue said Jan. 7. "He should be careful what he wishes for because there are those who pine to deliver."

Respecting the rights of people to believe does not mean respecting their deities. Donahue wants to enforce respect for his gods even among people who don't believe in them.

 
madmann [TotalFark] 2008-01-31 06:09:50 PM  
Douchebag. I'm pretty sure even a skinny little jerk like Maher could kick his ass. Lookin' for a brawl? Yeah, maybe we're tired of assholes like this getting pissed because we DARE to question their bullshiat dogma.

Jesus? Meh. Couldn't possibly care one way or the other, as others have stated, believe if you want and don't if you don't.

But his fan club? THEM people are rabidly retarded. Take Mike Huckleberry... guy wants to be President, wants to change the Constitution to match the Bible... ok, look. If you don't even understand that the President doesn't get to do that... AT ALL... then you should be DQ'd from the process, as you are obviously too stupid to lead anyone.

Bill Donahue is a fat tub of shiat. It was fun to watch Christopher Hitchens make a total ass of him on TV. I'd like to watch Maher do the same thing.

 
funmonger 2008-01-31 07:06:44 PM  
Maher would kick his ass.

Now, now...

"Bill Maher ... constantly is going after not just religion in general, he really has it out against Christians," Donahue charged. "I'm at the point right now where I'd love to challenge this guy in a ring ... preferably Madison Square Garden. I'm a lot older than he is, but let me tell you something, I'd floor him."

He said he'd LIKE to challenge Bill Maher to a fight. He didn't say he WOULD.

It's a sad state of affairs when a Christian needs someone to play devil's advocate for him.

Maher's pretty small, I don't know that he'd be good in a physical fight.

I love Maher's show. I don't always agree with him, but he makes me think.

I also resort to violence when someone has a differing opinion from mine. It's probably because i don't have the mental faculties to defend my position. What is your excuse?

The only Bill Maher I know is a pathetic, unfunny ass-jack who hangs around the Playboy mansion picking up the sloppy seconds of a decrepit mummy.

I get the feeling that Maher's a really, really dirty fighter.

Small, mouthy guys usually are...

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, it's a Bill-off with Bill vs. Bill. The ticket price gets you the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge!

Seriously, though. The President of the most powerful Catholic organization in America goes around threatening people with physical violence for questioning Christian dogma?

Why has this guy not been fired?

 
JQPublic [TotalFark] 2008-01-31 11:18:59 PM  
It is true that God is a myth, and extraterrestrials are real, but Bill Maher should still be flogged with concertina wire just for being Bill Maher.

 
WFern 2008-01-31 11:24:28 PM  
Do people like Donahue honestly sit at home in the dark, recording every available program in the hope of becoming offended, ala Ned Flanders? I caught Maher's program on Friday, as I always do. His comment, aside from being true, was also relatively tame. It isn't especially new either, as folks like George Carlin have been airing identical thoughts for quite some time.

Polly Ester: Who is this Bill Maher?

The only Bill Maher I know is a pathetic, unfunny ass-jack an intelligent, funny host who hangs around the Playboy mansion picking up the sloppy seconds of a decrepit mummy who's accomplished more than I can dream.


There we have it.
