Hilarious take down of RWer trying to use the bible to justify his GOP vote.

Includes Cenk ranting on syncretism and lack of historical record on Jesus. Awesome, and funny.

1. It's a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent

That poor fool can't stick to one subject, finish a sentence, complete a thought. He's just all over the place. No wonder he was such a sucker for that Kennedy character.

It was painful to hear, had to stop about 1/2 way through.

2. Did you get to the part where he called Jeebus a mythological character?

That really singed some ears.

3. You need to listen to the clip at 10:26. It's the core of Cenk's argument and it's brilliant n/t

8. I had to turn it off before the end. Call it the mercy rule. It was like

Cenk had him on the ground and was kicking him in the face, then reached for a baseball bat. Not being able to stop the fight, I had to look away.

4. Paul didn't know anything of the life of Jesus

Watch this movie "The God who wasn't there". Why did Paul not mention anything about the virgin birth, miracles and the good works of Jesus? He only wrote about the end which he thought took place on another plane of existence.

The gospels have glaring differences and the reason why the story has lasted so many years is that it had the power of government to jam down the throats of everyone and the one ones who wouldn't swallow. Does anyone remember the Inquisition?

Jesus is a myth. No non-forged contemporary account of his life exists in the historical record.

5. I bought that movie

and was disappointed. It made some good points but the music was terrible and the editing was questionable. Plus it was too short.

I just feel like he *could* have made a great movie but he didn't, and mailed it in instead.

6. man!

this stuff is ludicrous. Glad Cenk kept the dude's head on the mat.

7. Hahaha, socialism is a form of theft. Hilarious.
