Talking Snakes and Air Conditioners in Heaven


What can you say about a country where torture is legal and marijuana isn't?
That's what Bill Maher asked on Larry King tonight.
Bill and Larry King discussed the election campaign, Maher quipped
"The media keeps saying McCain will pick someone younger..ya think?
Who could he pick that's older, Lauren Bacall or Abel?"
He brought up the question asked by Rick Warren at the "Faith" interview of last week,"What to do about evil, Obama gave a nuanced answer, you know, there is evil all over, not just OVER there.
Look at the prison system, look at the judicial system.
He lost the crowd.McCain just said two words , 'defeat it.'The crowd loved it because they believe evil is the devil, he pokes you in the ass and burns you if you are bad, the air conditioner if you're good.
Bill Maher asked rhetorically, "How can America continue to be a super power when we believe the story of Adam and Eve and the talking snake and the earth being 5000 years old?"
A few months ago, when it looked Like Senator Obama was going to be the Democratic nominee, Michelle Obama said, "This is the first time I've been proud of America."
She was viciously attacked, but you know, it was the first time I was proud of America.
At last it seemed that this country, founded on the enforced labor of men, women and children who were powerless and exploited, had finally stopped hating and decided that Black people were equal human beings, worthy of leading a United America.
Bill Maher expressed a fear that people would vote for McCain because to vote for Obama they'd have to read, and watch CNN and C-Span, he didn't think that was going to happen.
Mr Maher is releasing a movie entitled "Religiosity" which, he hopes, can get the 16% of Americans that don't believe in fairy tales to say so, instead of keeping quiet.
I've seen some outtakes, it looks like it will be hilarious.
Check it out.
It may open your eyes.
