Somebody should do this mocking shit theatre with Islam.

Oh, wait, that's right- the writer, director, playhouse owner, and all the actors would be murdered.
Yeah, rather pick on Christianity.

Further proof that Christians are intolerant bigots who viciously slander those who disagree with them.

By the way, Kathleen Anderton? If you're reading this, that's sarcasm.

Chesterton once said that there's no bigot like an atheist.

"It will be a parody of itself. It will be very funny. We're having a hoot," said Rowe, who represents the Center for Inquiry-West, which says it promotes and defends reason and science.

Because, you know, we never had reason or science in Christendom.

Somewhere, Peter Abelard is weeping.

Go Bill Maher! Way to really go out there in a limb! Lampoon those Christians! Never been done before! Oooh, maybe even make a Pat Robertson joke!

Well, now at least we'll be able to see what Satan looks like with a smarmy grin.

I feel sorry for Bill Maher....talk about being typecast!!!!

I'm just trying to picture Andy Richter as Jesus, and, frankly, I think Maher's making a mistake by casting someone both funnier and more engaging than himself to be the straight man.

At least I assume Richter will be a straight man. This IS a Maher production, after all, so I imagine that instead we'll see J & S engaging in gay sex or something, 'cause, you know, Maher's an intellectual and all.

Dang. I don't know if that last sentence is sarcasm, satire, or irony.

It's Sarctirony.

What is this new word
That describes the bloggers' voice?
It's "sarctirony."

Quite nice.

I'd suggest putting it in the Urban DIctionary, but I'm still waiting for those jerks to approve my definition for the verb "Carter" (i.e., to cater to the interests of groups hostile to the United States. Ex: "Kerry will totally Carter to the UN if he gets elected").

You might get lucky, though.

ccwbass,

Based purely on context, I would have thought "to Carter" would be defined as "to fellate oppressive foreign dictators."

Close enough, I guess.

Eh. "cater" "fellate" - the Maher's in the details, as the old saying goes.

[ducks. runs.]

Note to casting director: Satan's nickname is not "the Prince of Dorkiness". That was a typo.
