Bill Maher - making friends again - VIDEO

Good people don't shelter criminals like Bernard Law, who covered up for abusers for many years as leader of the Boston archdiocese, abetting in harm to hundreds of children and their families. Instead of paying for his crimes, Law was promoted to the Vatican, where he enjoys effective diplomatic immunity from civil and criminal repercussions in the city-state.

Only the IRS determines the difference between an organized religion and a cult. One gets tax-exempt status.

I don't know how this guy is even relevant anymore. Does anyone pay attention to what he says? His old show Politically Incorrect was anything but...he spouts the official liberal line on every subject.

Saw it on HBO and laughed my butt off. I was raised a Catholic, attended Catholic high school, was an altar boy and earned my master's at a Catholic university... shrug. If you don't think the Catholic church harbors pedophiles, you've not spent enough time around Catholic institutions.

Jesus christ, just let the man say what he wants.
Just because you disagree doesn't mean you need to remove him from the air.

Love the Mar. Don't really care for the Catholics. I was raised Catholic but have been in recovery. But I do sell a Dead Pope mug.

Let me know what you think.

It's one thing for someone to have an opinion about something and Maher did have some good points about the church scandal, unfortunately he got his facts wrong and slandered a good man.

As was mentioned already, kids really didn't have much choice about being members of Hitlers youth, so calling him a Nazi is tantamount to calling a rape victim a slut.

He was also wrong about the Pope's involvement in the church scandal. He was not in charge of disciplining priests. We was appointed by the Pope to that position in 2002, after the scandals broke and dealt with the criminal priests effectively.

Oh, and NICE HAT DUDE!

Did I hear someone say "BOOBS"...?

I think this whole deal is yet another example of how PC we've all become and frankly I'm sick and tired of it all. You said it perfectly when you said that their panties are all in a bunch because that's about as meaningful as their ire is to me. BFD people, BFD. I hate to break it to you but THE POPE IS JUST A MAN!!! The Bible says that God is no respecter of persons and that means that in His eyes, I'm as good as the Pope is - we ALL are. Get a grip and get over it all, good grief!!!

Oh, for crying out loud, what's the big deal? Can people just growp up already and quit whining over every tiny little perceived insult?

Its HBO - this stuff is allowed, remember, because network tv is a bunch of weenies.

Bill Maher is straightforward. His dislike of organized religion is no secret and is not illegal.

It never ceases to amaze me that there are always groups of people who want to stop the words and behaviors of others who disagree with them.

In this case, they can go to hell.

I don't know what's worse: Bill Maher's disgusting comments or the people on this thread who are dismissing it as harmless.

I'm not calling for censorship of any kind, but how about a little decency. Sad to say not only tv stars get to be bigots.
