NB: I'm skipping over a couple of his throw-away non-shows, such as "I'm So Flowerin Mad". Even Allen didn't sound very excited about some of those topics.
"The Religious Left"
Allen tries to inject a little controversy by saying that Hillary Clinton is the front-runner with the greatest commitment to faith. Interesting to note that Dick Morris said essentially the same thing about her on Hannity's show- that at her core she does has some kind of deep religious faith that drives her socialist agenda. My response to Allen was that I had no doubt Hillary believed in God, considering that she is SATAN.
"Ridiculous Bill Maher"
The first lie you tell is to yourself. After that, everything else is the truth.
Allen says many things during this broadcast that aren't true, and which he probably knows or suspects deep down aren't true. And yet he goes on telling these lies, as if the more he says it the likelier it is to be true.
Lie #1 Christians don't believe that God sends people to hell for not having heard the Gospel.
I'm not sure how he defines "Christians" but when I was growing up in a Southern Baptist church we were taught that no one got a free pass. All had sinned and come short of the glory of God. And without the saving faith in Christ, those cannibals in the Congo were headed straighted for the lake of fire, along with Buddhists, Jews, liberals, homos, Communists, and the ACLU. To say otherwise is to take the road of the politically correct Nice-Guy-God gospel. It even says as much in the scriptures. Jesus, doesn't Allen ever listen to the Bible Answer Man?
Lie #2 God doesn't cause cancer or child abuse or any of the evils of the world.
Well, all I know is what the Bible says:
Job 42:11 "Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him"....and there are too many more verses to list.
45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Allen said this in the context of talking about a little boy with a brain tumor. I really wish Allen had the courage of his convictions. I wish he wouldn't abandon his allegiance to the scriptures when they imply something disturbing, like God allowing a little boy to get brain cancer. In one of our first on-air discussions I said the Old Testament God was evil, that he did horrific things, ordering the deaths of women and children on a whim. Allen response was that because God is God, because He is the author of morality, it's pointless to call his actions evil. In other words, God can play all the sadisitic games He wants, and we have no choice but to grovel and kiss His
divine ass for it. But now, along comes- not some nameless extra from the remoteness of Biblical fairytales, but a real live flesh and blood child- and all Allen's big talk about a sovereign God goes out the window. Nope...no way God causes these things, he says.
...stay tuned.
