The fool says,” There is no God,” in his heart ( Ps. 14: 1 ).
Donald Trump was nearly assassinated on national television in the last two weeks, and the left has responded with a range of veiled ( and not so veiled ) accusations that he staged the entire event to veiled ( and quickly forgotten ) pleas to “lower the temperature” and lamentations over the poor shooting performance.
Bill Maher, the late-night talk show host and alleged actor, took a different approach to the shooting, which also claimed the lives of two other bystanders. Maher once more showed his true communist sleight of hand in the opening speech of next Friday against those Trump supporters who think the criminal’s around lady was the result of divine intervention after years of rebranding himself as a thoughtful average who rejects the woke agenda of his own party. In doing so, he affirmed the dangers of the media’s opposition to church and its political benefits.
The Banality of Maher’s Atheism
Maher’s talk was full of all the logic and kindness you may anticipate from a billionaire who had hoped a recession would prevent Trump from winning the 2020 presidential election. The highlights of Maher’s ( half-) wit include making fun of the fact that” God was having an off day” when Congressman Steve Scalise was shot by a Bernie Bro in 2017 and vilifying Trump supporters as cult members using “magical thinking” to elevate their presidential candidate to demigod status. The speech was essentially a shorter and even tackier version of his 2008 documentary” Religulous,” an expanded strawman fallacy in which he positively misrepresented himself to meeting and then mock spiritual people.
The chorus of Maher’s anti-theistic hack work came when he said,” Trump did n’t survive the test on his career because of divine intervention. … Trump is dead because he’s the one best motherf-cker who always lived”. This is the hopeless view of the anti-theistic left: Zero is by style or purpose, everything is just bare chance.
Gimme That Old-Time Religion
If Maher had been as attentive as he might appear, he might have taken advantage of this opportunity to reflect on why people find comfort in faith in times of crisis rather than dismissing it as” terrible and dangerous.” He rejects the Divine Physician’s ability to treat pain and suffering, which are the result of the ostensible conviction that the universe operates haphazardly, just like Marx does.
Study after study has shown that religious people are healthier-our-new-global-study-explores-this-question/#:~:text=Here%20are%20five%20findings%20about,in%20Japan%2C%20Australia%20and%20Germany.” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>happier, healthier, and more physiologically resilient than religious individuals. For example, they weathered the surprise of the Covid crisis much better, despite the public’s attempts to shut down religious groups. Economic insecurity is more properly managed by communities with higher levels of spiritual observance. Given these information, Gen Z, the technology with the worst mental health history, is also the least religious era.
Yet Maher himself cannot avoid spiritual beliefs when dealing with drama; he said the shooter” should rot in hell,” a place he rejects.
The Horrors of Religious Nihilism
A well-known quote from G. K. Chesterton frequently quoted by him reads,” When men choose not to believe in God, they do not subsequently believe in everything until they are worthy of believing in anything.” In some ways, the human urge to make sense of a seemingly chaotic and careless universe will manifest itself, many of which are much more” terrible and dangerous” than religious belief and practice.
More often than not, these attempts to remove religion are channeled into political activity, a area replete with the “magical considering” Maher decries. Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Only Quit Oil, and Queers for Palestine are all parts of the public’s” Church of Id”. Together, they preach a fake bible that aims to feed the cycle of communist nonsense Maher has recently claimed to resist, no happiness and peace but increasing levels of rage that can be channeled against their traditional and centrist opponents. In 2021, Barrack Obama declared to his followers,” I want you to be angry,” as the chief saint of this false church. I want you to keep disappointed”.
Over the past few years, we’ve seen how effective this pseudo-faith has been in getting younger people to wreak havoc all over the West. It might even be to blame for a 20-year-old man’s choice to take at the Republican nomination for president at the time. After all, killing the new Hitler as part of a campaign against the risk of” Christian populism” may make him a saint, right?
One can lessen the pain of a strange presence by using real opiates or other drugs for those who prefer seductive pleasure to political activism. Gen Zers are also especially susceptible in this situation because of their poor mental health, which increases their risk of drug use and addiction.
Because tobacco plant is the closest thing Maher has to a communion, this is a subject in which he is truly an expert. He’s listed at no. 12 on the Marijuana Policy Project’s” Major 50 Most Important Marijuana Consumers”, which reprinted his claim to have” tried pot … about 50, 000 days”. Obviously, plant is therefore important to Maher’s” Club Random” radio that he withdrew his proposal to past” Jackass” sun and recovering addict Steve-O rather than go without it for an afternoon.
Maher, an follower of the Church of Id, is completely dependent on herself and unaffected by the repercussions of that slavery. American culture is founded on the notion that while a Creator gave mortal people unalienable rights, one can effectively protect and uphold those rights without due regard for that Creator. Whether it was through holy action or being a “lucky motherf-cker”, Donald Trump rather actually dodged a bullet that Saturday evening in Butler, Pennsylvania.
His response to a God that Maher and his colleagues ignore, and that of millions of Americans on both sides of the political break, was his love. Maher might want to ask why they appear to be so much happier than he is rather than making up for the thousands of his own people who he misrepresents.  ,
