No surprise. This is just the latest cultural expression of an age-old dichotomy:
High-falootin’ City Slicker vs. Uncorrupted Country Bumpkin.

Truth cannot be found in either one side or the other. Truth is expressed in the context of relationships. It can highlight the interactions, but it’s not necessarily wholly reducible to one pole of a conflict or the other.

Whether it’s Jesus or the teachings of the Bagavad-Gita, it is our “opposite” that gives us a more adequate revelation of truth.

“Love your enemy.” We need our opponents.

Maher has proven once again, that he just doesn’t understand Christianity.

“…some creature with horns and a tail and a pitchfork”

He sounds like a five-year-old, which is about the level of his religious knowledge.

For Maher it always comes back to one thing: His unhinged hatred for religion in general, and Christianity in particular.

maher is not alone in that view. my guess is that obama, too, whether consciously or not, holds the same position.

as most liberals do.

they know what’s best because they’re the intellectual elite while the country is majority dumb–therefore, we need their “solutions” to solve all of our problems from cradle to grave.

after all, it’s the nature of liberalism to tell us all (from a centralized national position) what’s best for ourselves.

the road to perdition is paved by arrogant, meddling liberals….
