Real Time With Bill Maher: Liberty University




Source:Real Time With Bill Maher- talking about Liberty University.

"Bill Maher: confusing religion with education" 

From Matthew Ives

I agree with Bill Maher on two points here, which is actually a lot since a lot of times I can get through one of his entire monologues (that I managed to stay awake for) and not agree with him on a damn thing. 

Bill Maher is right: Liberty University is not a university. More like the Evangelical fundamentalists version of a political cult where their students (or cult followers) are taught that America is being overrun by gays, women, and perhaps Muslims. And what we need now is a national time machine to make America back to the 1940s culturally and politically where Anglo-Saxon men where the masters of everyone else, especially women. And where gays where even in prison or in mental institutions simply for being gay. And where Muslims weren't even aloud to exist in America, at least not in public. 

The 2nd point Bill Maher is right about is that Liberty University is not only not a university, but the name of the school is wrong. Liberty University? More like Western Theocratic College for people who claim to love Jesus, but believe in Jesus, or at least don't believe what Jesus believed. 

To pick up on Bill Maher's point about Target: just because you can buy milk and coffee at a gas station, doesn't mean the gas station is a grocery store. Liberty University really represents a serious, bad case of false advertising on two levels.
