Bill Maher on Jesus Camp×

[mihaimoldo]

8:15 Really? read your fucking bible and Koran...and don't then speak on that matter...

[CarissaXo99]

These people don't seem to know much about world history.

[GamrDan]

>loud, angry, fat religious zealot tells kids they're evil if they like Harry Potter- it's okay

>gay couple of 3 years wants to get married- it's ruining America and sets a bad example for kids

American Logic

[DylanTheVillyn]

@GamrDan Unfortunately, but it's not ALL Americans that think that way...just the dumb ones. (dumb ones = most of them)

[williamsin41]

She said it's not natural for someone to lay down their life for a friend and implied this was a chiristian thing for their faith. She should tell this to the face of soldiers and civilians saved by (atheist, muslim, jewish,etc.) war heroes who died to save them and did not believe in jesus christ. It's just so insulting. I don't need religion to be willing to die for my beliefs.

[nataudley1988]

I don't think it's right to swear at this woman, just because you disagree with her.

What would be more interesting to consider would be if she or one of family were actually put in a life threatening situation, how quickly she'd renounce her faith.

(I am not advocating actually harming her!)

[ORTmusic]

God she is stupid.

[Kneleist]

baby jebus loves you

[PhotoShopChannel]

The said religions don't instruct murdur? PPPFFTFTFT HAHAHHAAHHAHAQHAQHQQHAHAHAHAHY­AYShsfhyjndgdtyjcvhxfgtchhc what about the 3.2 million innocent people god murdered?

[Kaalec]

The question is not whether you'd die for Jesus, but whether you would kill for him. That's the scary shit.

[Rabboleth]

Religion may not be violent, but it sure does serve as a great way to persuade  normally peace-loving people to kill others and think they're doing everyone -victims included- a FAVOR.

[jemorrismmorris]

How anyone can sit there and say the the Quran and O.T. are not violent and bigoted and keep a straight face is beyond me.

[darkwarriorkane]

@jemorrismmorris Every magic book is violent you just gotta pick which ever pile of BS is right for you or do what I did and call it all out as BS

[SeanMusicFreak]

This woman is an idiot. Let's put her in the situation of the reporters and see if she doesn't do what they did.

[dallred741]

Religion makes altogether normal, moral, good people justify atrocities.

[Scriptease123]

I LOVE what Bradley Whitford said; "If you think you KNOW that Jesus is talking to you, you're a schizophrenic." Bradley is Catholic BTW.

[patrick112590]

"It's not natural to lay down your life for a friend," says the Jesus freak. Meanwhile, I'm an atheist, and I wouldn't hesitate to lay down my life for someone I love. Morality is innate. Is that so hard to understand? EVERYONE with an ounce of self-respect has an instinct to protect and sometimes die for those they love.

It doesn't take a self-righteous Christian to act morally.

[Scriptease123]

@patrick112590 Absolutely! Are prisons filled with atheists? No! GWB took us into Iraq because he told us they had WMD's that HE KNEW they didn't have. Is GWB a Christian? You bet. Reading about Christian zealots that have beaten or otherwise punished their children to death has become almost a daily occurence. I do not need a rule book to tell me the difference between right and wrong.

[patrick112590]

@Scriptease123 Don't forget that almost every church in the U.S. (including Bush's own church) opposed the War in Iraq. It has often been argued that the Iraq War is one founded on religious zealotry, but this becomes a bit far-fetched when you look at how many Christians opposed it.

However, I totally agree with you on the point that religious people often use their religious beliefs as justification for all sorts of atrocities, including the acts demanded of them by their "holy" books.

[xJoeEDangerouslyx]

@patrick112590

I'm going to paraphrase you.

Don't forget that almost every Muslim mosque opposes 9/11. It has often been argued that 9/11 is founded on religious zealotry, but this becomes a bit far-fetched when you look at how many Muslims oppose it.

Your logic doesn't really work.

[patrick112590]

@xJoeEDangerouslyx Well that's a completely false comparison.

Why do you think the Muslims who attacked the world on 9/11 attacked it? Because they were part of a cult that believed and still believes that it has a divine warrant to attack and attempt to destroy civilization. The current war in Iraq didn't occur because George Bush believed he had Biblical warrant! So I'm afraid you haven't really argued anything "logical," as you would put it, against my point.

[randomperson2538]

@patrick112590 good one.

[wtamike]

hey maher u aint gonna believe me but i am jesus! u know lady gaga/judas im doin all this shit and im not a perv. im a man remember? so its like this, dont know bout u? i dont think your goin to hell but i can tell ya i be weedin. nobody cares but i dont condemn my fans. hahaha to bad. keep rockin and i HATE christians!!

[pimpymcdougall]

This Fox News lady really thinks that she wouldn't deny her faith is her life is on the line. Bulshit. With her pretty hair and make-up the only reason she said that is because she knows she will never be in the situation.

[Exli3r]

Reza Aslan lol

[patrickthesaint]

Telling Xians to die for Jesus is messed up. I though Jesus was supposed to have died for us?

[gomezdavid1993]

i dont care for really religious ppl, but when they do this shit it REALLY ANNOYS ME. I love Bill for doing this documentary.

[scotttebben]

What a deluded cunt.

[gateman42]

@scotttebben And theres a billion more where she came from! Unfortunately!

[AvalonDraconis]

Not all religions teach violence. Wicca/Paganism is all about tolerence and acceptence. To actually commit violence goes against it's very teachings.

[TheEthanwashere]

All religions basically teach violence/ teach bigotry towards nonbelievers, there's "good" parts as well...

[brodofaggins]

@TheEthanwashere The fact that all religions teach violence and bigotry towards nonbelievers is the root of the problem.

[metrocop1000]

that's EXACTLY the problem.

[theywarnedus]

REV 22-16 IS THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR-VENUS WORSHIP--ITS ALL ASTROTHEOLOGY-JESUS IS REPTILLIAN WORSHIP-AND HE WAS BARIED IN SRINIGAR-INDIA--ANYWAYS--CHRIS­TIANITY IS --A THROW AWAY SOLAR CULT RELIGION WAKE UP-THE SAME STORY WAS RUNNING AROUND THE MED FOR `1000 YEARS BEFORE RA HORUS--MYTHRA-KRISHNA-SAME STORIES --IT CAME THRU THE MEROVIGN BLOODLINE THIS RELIGULOUS NONSENSE

ww.youtube.com/watch?v=vkXOwBI­RX7Y DONT' REPLY UNTIL U HAVE WATCHED-THE BIBLE IS FREEMASONRY ALBERT PIKE DOCTRINE

[jakewelty92]

That muslim dude is a G

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

@jakewelty92

So true, he completely destroys that old bat.

[ITHEREONETHATHASNT]

Ever notice this guy spends 99 percent of his show bashing the most extreme of the christian faith and NOT ONCE BASHES JUDAISM! Not once in religulous did i see him confronting and pointing out the same bullshit in Judaism. Why is that you ask? Because you dont bite the fucking hand that feeds your sick ass. I am a man of faith and you may all think of me as dumb or worse but why do you people ALWAYS find it needed to poke a stick. Stay the hell out of our lives and well stay our of yours.

[dwade1962eagle]

@ITHEREONETHATHASNT That is the problem dumbass you are NOT staying out of our lives. You are in everyones business with YOUR religion. From DOMA DADT to abortion, to wanting to put your stupid Christmas trees in our government buildings. When the Jews start getting in our business. Then we will mention them too! Hell you cocksuckers can't even elect a president unless he believes in Jesus. Extreme of Christian faith? I tell you what. You tell me which one of you isn't extreme? All of you are.

[JesusGodHolySpirit3]

Renouncing Chris is not what Christ followers should have in their hearts, unless they were never followers of Christ and fear get to them! Bill is not correct of inferior to her, it has nothing to do with inferiority! Why would we go and kill someone! The Holy Spirit is the one who speaks to us! So yes God does speak to us and through us! He is awesome!

[EnlightenedXistence]

@JesusGodHolySpirit3 You really need to get a fucking clue

[jjtheslayer69]

@EnlightenedXistence I DONT EVEN SEE WHY THEY COME HERE, THATS LIKE BEING A BLOOD IN A CRIP NEIGHBORHOOD LMAO

[gupsphoo]

This is the best panel discussion on Real Time I've ever watched.

[BelfastAtheist]

Gawd I hate this woman..

What a cunt.

[Willverinerage]

@BelfastAtheist I think she means well, but there's no way she can logically defend her beliefs.....

[Forceofhabbit]

Bullshit = Religion and Religion = bullshit. It always has been and always will be until jesus returns, which he wont because that's bullshit too, eh see where i'm coming from? I hope to jesus you do lol.

[gamingsoul11]

@Forceofhabbit Let Jesus come, we'll just kill him again.

[Forceofhabbit]

@gamingsoul11 Lol, but if jesus did return, he'd commit suicide rather than take part in our fucked up world.

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

@gamingsoul11

Lol, I've been telling this to Christians lately; that i am excited for Jesus to come back on his spaceship so we can accost him and crucify him, AGAIN!!! HAHAHAHAHA xD!!1

[DandAinTac]

What the blond woman says is very disturbing: "...certainly we are to teach our children, and implicit in the teaching of Christ, is the fact that yes, you have to be willing to lay down your life..."

I'm sure that's what they are indoctrinating into these kids at Jesus Camp. I'm sure they indoctrinate this into kids in Madrassas, and I'm sure that's what the 9/11 hijackers thought--that they had to be willing to lay down their lives for God. Thus are planted the seeds of fanaticism.

[BboyJ8A]

this video is thumbs up 

[1navyseal1962]

Cud any 1 tell me if ID is winning the debate vs evilution

[kuriaki71]

crazy

[skoutout]

This woman is a dumbazz and religion is a crock of crap!

[skoutout]

This woman is a dumbazz and religion is a crock of crap!

[David1531992]

The norse religions teaches the only way you can go to Valhalla, the paradise where you can fight all day, and still be whole and one piece in the evening and feasting in the night, is to die in battle.

Isn't that a religion of the blade?

[David1531992]

@David1531992 The battle between the three major religions of western society today, the Abrahamic dogmas, is a race between three religions whom have, throughout history, performed geniocide, genitial mutilation and human rights violations, and otherwise horrible acts of violence, for the exact same reason, and they all try to distinguish their religions violence from the violence of other.

I think we can all agree that the path to Valhalla is something very different from the path to Nirvana.

[SocialAnathema]

I'm not sure how large "that vast moderate majority" really is. We can't really know what people actually think. Unfortunatley it seems like we might find out sooner than later.

[MrKillinginthename]

I was just thinking if you done a study that average iq of atheists agnostics or "soft believers" would be a great deal higher than the average of fundamentalists hardcore believers priests etc.

[seonf]

When one person suffers from a delusion they are called insane. When a group of people believe in it they are called religious.

I feel so sorry for the poor kids brainwashed in that movie. The parents are committing child abuse but i suppose they were abused when they were kids.

[StepIntoMe]

I love Christians (and all 'believers'). They're so funny. So clueless. So brainwashed. Stupid fucks.

[damaxman]

That middle eastern guy is pretty damn smart, and rational. I wish there were more people of religious faith who could think with the clarity that he does.

Reguarding jesus camp... I watched a documentary a while back on a gang called "MS13." Whats horrific is the similarities that jesus camp has with MS13's recruitment tactics.

a) recruit em young

b) get em to commit completely

c) offer em riches

d) etc...

The worst part is, these fenatics honestly think they are doing good.

[darkfur35]

maher is a hate filled man.......

[Bumblybee256]

He's not really, he's just incredulous at religious people. It's pretty reasonable to be angry at such things anyway.

[darkfur35]

@Bumblybee256 maher isnt smart enough to understand religion

[Bumblybee256]

Lol, not even religious people understand religion, you dolt. It's too ridiculous for any normal person to relate to.

[darkfur35]

@Bumblybee256 ....comment doesnt make any sense

[Bumblybee256]

*sigh* Religion makes no sense THEREFORE no one can understand it.

[MansonFreak]

agreed

[miwerton]

cant wait til inteligience beats the shit out of mythologi. its all bullshit (religion) im 15 and dont belive in fantasy people and cause of that i have an iq on 145 praise science and logic

[latterdayhertic]

this Reza Aslan guy hits the nail on the head

[EckoStream]

Is it really worst to hear and talk to Jesus, than believe a supernatural being wrote a book ?

[atomic3939]

When i was a kid...i worshipped Count Chocula. Does that make me a devil worshipper?

[RedHillRabbitoh]

Yes, yes it does......

[darkfur35]

what is mahers problem.............his mother must not have baked him any cookies.......

[JediMasterFisher]

her mother got banned from the catholic church because she used birth control. Shes awesome!

[elanmo]

Watched this movie in my social psych. class. Interesting film. I live in one of the most conservative states (Arkansas), where this kind of crazy is the norm and I'm made to feel like I'm the ignorant one for not thinking it's the end of the world and we're waging some epic battle against Satan. Sometimes I'm envious of people who have such strong faith b/c I'm sure it makes life easier; but my intellect forbids me from following anything blindly.

[mrcarlos15]

Stay strong friend, intellect reigns supreme in the end.

[railroadtrash09]

Amazing, I feel the same way. I figure ignorance must be blissful, but I just can't seem to bring myself to believe the BS.

[sciencevsreligion01]

@elanmo Psychiatrists and sociologists from all around the world need to seriously research and analyze that mysterious and monstrous thing called RELIGION, that seems to be the most influential belief system on planet earth and release it's findings to the public. and hopefully most of those that are inflicted will turn from it's ill effect. churches are a waste of building materials and utilities and should pay taxes.

[Mindplosive]

@elanmo where are you from in ar? I know how it is to be a rationalist in this bible thumpin' state.

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

@elanmo

Study biology and major in zoology and genetics; it is the best anti-dote to religion there is.

[ThePhil3301]

@elanmo I live in Little Rock and in no way are we so conservative that this kind of behavior is the norm. I would like you to specify where you live, b/c it must be under a rock with your like minded family. Don't put a state on blast when you aren't a fair representation of the rest of us.

[jemorrismmorris]

@elanmo Don't envy the mind forged manacles.

[theuglyone25]

@elanmo Brother don't for a minute be envious of them. It's downright immoral to hold such a claim, especially one that dictates blood be shed for it. Disgusting, it's like being envious of people who are standing in large piles of horseshit.

[KelliSings]

Bill Maher = Win.

[Drez26]

When I was 5, I worshipped cartoons way before I found God

[kaduisaui]

God is a cartoon.

[EckoStream]

Harry Potter is a modern version of Jesus !~

and his book are way better than the Bible :P

[JediMasterFisher]

heck yes!

[BigOldJimmy]

People arguing over religion is exactly the same a group of children arguing over whose plastic toy food tastes better. "Mine tastes the best, it's a hot dog!" "No, mine tastes better, it's a chocolate cake!" The kid who comes along and says, "You've all got plastic food. It all tastes like plastic," will find himself shunned. He just doesn't understand the deep, abiding faith the other children have in their plastic toy food.

[agu00001]

Religious believes are ludicrous, unless they are your own.

[tonybonez]

Actually Jesus Camp was a super crazy movie, very rewarding to watch!!!

I have something against telling kids that BS, adults OK, but kids??

[NoUseForAName06]

Maher raises some really intelligent points. I love his reasoning when he says that it is a problem when people say that they will do what god tells them because god doesnt really speak to anybody. So they will just enforce their own will and jusitfy it by saying it was gods will.

[genxdude1991]

That's because man made God not the other way around.

[Skulldini]

Bill Maher shall surely have his eternity to BURN!!!! Mark my words!!!!

[ki6eki]

damn that woman is getting owned..

[varanox]

maxi xD

[BBNLCB]

Those kids are going to do the same thing that the muslims do. Poor brainwashed kids.

[earthypig]

"at 5 i got saved... because I just wanted more out of life" -- WOW this kid is learning FAST in the BULLSHIT department!!!

[epxy]

the full movie is in google video ...

[darkosminos]

I don't think I want to see the whole movie... just to sad...

[cjunk351]

The vast majority of people of faith are just as fucked up as their true believers.

[dancetoska]

I love how Bill talks about her being condescending in a condescending way.
