Maher should not be flogged or shot or hanged any more than the guy in Europe that made the disparaging cartoons about Mohammed should killed. They obviously pss off a lot of people, but should not be murdered or tortured over stupidity.
Tristan Emmanuel, a Canadian evangelist, published a column Friday morning on BarbWire asking, “Does Bill Maher deserve a whipping for slandering God?”
Emmanuel quoted a couple of recent remarks by Maher, who referred to God as “a psychotic mass murderer” for flooding the earth to punish sinners in the biblical Book of Genesis and suggested the Almighty was even more of a “dick” than famously disagreeable actor Russell Crowe.
Emmanuel said “this time he’s gone too far.”
He said Christians should “unanimously” condemn Maher and compared today’s believers unfavorably with their ancestors.
“Back then Maher would have faced stiff penalties for his slanderous crimes against God and country,” Emmanuel said. “And the reasons were clear: slander the ultimate authority of a nation — God — and you ridicule the very foundation of its laws, values, public institutions and leadership.”
God has been called far worse than anything coming from Bill Maher and "The Almighty" certainly doesn't need the likes of "Tristan Emmanuel" to put Maher in his place!
If "Tristan Emmanuel" were to read his Bible he would realize that "the ends never justify the means" and that "flogging or hanging" have no place in Christianity!
