Reverend Friend recently sent the following letter to Bill Maher after reading an article about some of his anti-Christian, anti-God antics. I thoroughly enjoyed the letter, so I thought I'd post it here for all to see. If you'd like to write a letter to Mr. Maher as well, there is a link at the bottom of the article. (P.S., as he says in his letter, Reverend Friend is "not that kind of angel."
====================================================================
Bill Maher:
You (in the article below) sound like that bloody bastard Lenin (and probably think like him as well). Why not use the proper line regarding religion instead of hiding behind your paraphrasing - by uttering the Politically Correct Quote (for a good communist, that is) as it is: "Religion is the opiate of the masses." (Lenin - not John).
Well BILL, if Religion is the opiate of the masses, your politically correct, communist, dialectical materialist, scientism is the cyanide of the masses - in that it has been the foundation philosophy for all the slimy Communist tyrants that have killed over 100 MILLION human beings over the last 100 years.
Screw you Maher...
Rev. Bhagavan Friend
P.S. Save the obvious retort, "Bill" - you know, the one about how dare I say such things when I am supposed to be such a religious man and all that - "I'm not that kind of angel." (John Travolta - "Michael")

HBO's Bill Maher Says Christians Have Neurological Disorder, Are Crazy
Bill Maher, host of HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher, says that all Christians are crazy and are unenlightened because of their faith. Maher made the comments on MSNBC's Scarborough Country.
Maher said: "We are a nation that is unenlightened because of Religion.I think that religion stops people from thinking. I think it justifies crazies. I think that flying planes in a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder. If you look at it logically, it's something that was drilled into your head when you were a small child."
"When you look at belief in such things--as do you go to heaven, is there a devil--we have more in common with (Muslin countries) Turkey and Iran and Syria than we do with European nations and Canada and nations that, yes, I would consider more enlightened that us."
Maher said he wasn't speaking only of evangelicals, but included all religious people. He said he agreed with Jesse Ventura "who had that quote about religion is a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers."
Because of their neurological disorder, he said Christians "do not believe in science and rationality." He went on to say the future does not belong to religion. One recalls the famous quote from the Beatles in the 60's that they "were more popular than Jesus."
According to Maher, the Bible is a book of fairy tales, calling the account of Jonah a fairy tale the same as Jack in the Beanstalk.
Had Maher said such things about homosexuals, he would have been immediately fired. But because he was speaking of Christians, his bigotry was acceptable to HBO, owned by Time Warner Inc.
TAKE ACTION
Send Mr. Maher an email saying you regret he has such a low view of Christians, and will pray that he be "enlightened" as to the true nature of Christianity. Explain to him that Christians appreciate the good science does and most Christians are rational individuals.
