Bill Maher

Last week cable talk show host Bill Maher had made some rather insensitive comments about Pope Benedict XVI in particular , and Christianity , and the church in general . Naturally this has set off a wave of indignation from Christians around the world , who immediately demanded an apology . Bill Maher's apology was half-hearted at best . Yet as much as this might bother Christians to hear this , but Bill Maher was correct . Pope Benedict was a member of the Nazi party , where Bill Maher made the mistake was not mentioning the fact that he ( the pope ) did not willingly join the ranks of the Nazi party but was conscripted . This i feel was probably deliberate . Anyone who's seen his show Real Time with Bill Maher will understand that Mr. Maher's political ideology is about as far left as one can get . You must also understand that his show is political commentary , it's not a news network reporting the facts . Even though i find Mr. Mahers statements about Christians and the church to be venomous , I don't believe he should be censored for making them . This to me is free speech at in its purist form . If we censor ever individual who said something we didn't agree with , or found hurtful then we might as will go through our lives wearing a gag . No one is going to agree 100% with what you say , but you don't therefore label them , and censor them into silence either . That to me is the problem with trying to create a world that is politically correct , it has no room for free speech only acceptable speech . I personally do not agree with Mr. Mahers politics so i do not watch his show , and for those of you who disagree with his remarks suggest you do the same , or better yet exercise your right and say exactly what you feel about him . I find that course of action to be much more productive than whining , and demanding an apology .
