Bill Maher Believes In Hell

The Second Essential Scary Truth

Bill Maher has managed to step into the vast pile of religious based Tim Tebow love to be found on the Internet and in NFL/Denver Bronco fans everywhere.  In a recent Tweet, Maher wrote:

(All italicized quotes from the New York Daily News)

“Wow, Jesus just f—d #TimTebow bad. And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler ‘Hey, Buffalo’s killing them.’ “

Eric Bolling, Fox News anchor, responded via Tweet in kind:

“Bill Maher is disgusting vile trash, I can’t even repeat what he just tweeted about Tebow … on Christmas Eve. #straighttohellBill.”

Of course, this virtual prizefight wasn’t just between two media middleweights.  Everyone with an opinion put in his or her eleven cents.

“I like Bill Maher, but picking on Tim Tebow’s faith (rather than his football skills) is like snatching Taylor Swift‘s mic at the MTV VMAs,” another user tweeted, referring to when Kanye West interrupted the pop star’s acceptance speech in 2009.

Maher’s comments come two weeks after “Saturday Night Live” was slammed for mocking Tebow in a skit.

“If this had been a Muslim country and they had done that, and had Muhammad doing that stuff, you would have found bombs being thrown off!” evangelical preacher Pat Roberston ranted on the Christian Broadcasting Network after the show.

Tebow, who rarely addresses criticism or widespread discussion about his religious beliefs, has not commented on either slam.

“Tough game today but what’s most important is being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ,” he tweeted. “Merry Christmas everyone GB².”

Before any more Bible Thumpers or Believers or Fundy’s or Jesus Freaks or whatever gets their panties in a further twist, I’d like to point out the final sentence of Maher’s Tweet –

Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler ‘Hey, Buffalo’s killing them.’ “

Yes my Evangelical brothers and sisters, it would appear another of the great proselytizing Atheists believes in Satan and Hell.  Thus working backward, can’t you claim Bill Maher believes in G-d and Heaven?

And now that I’ve pointed out an actual way to refute Maher’s statement in a comic vein without ad hominem attacks, please stop handing me your literature on the street.
