Bill Maher Slams Religious Conservatives: ‘Who Needs The Government If You Have Jesus?’
by Josh Feldman | 11:31 pm, November 4th, 2011
In his last New Rule of the evening, Bill Maher argued that Christian populism and anti-intellectualism have been steadily growing in the Republican party, and that one of the core beliefs of the religious right in America today is that “knowing things has become an affront to the all-knowing.”
Maher decided if the Republican party wanted to nominate a devoutly Christian candidate, they might as well nominate Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Maher argued that on the football field Tebow was way in over his head, and rated his football abilities as sub-par, but it was Tebow’s Christian faith that was the main target of Maher’s jokes.
Tebow, apparently, used to write Bible verses in the charcoal under his eyes before a game, and Maher explained while some people would find the practice “creepy,” it’s the kind of thing Middle America would love him for. He described the “man crush” religious conservatives have on Tebow as “full-on gay.”
