I'm taking this from my own Blog: http://theofficialnaterowlanblog.blogspot.com/
I'm Pretty ****** over the whole thing and wanted to get a debate started...so feel free to knock around comments, insults or whatever...

Listen, I have no problem with people poking fun at religion and the idea of religion. Family Guy does it all the time. However, pointed jokes like Maher's in regards to the Pope cross a line with me. Unfortunately we live in a world where people get their real political and social news from shows like Bill Maher, the Daily Show and The Colbert Report. I'm not criticizing the latter two, but just saying if that is the only place you get your political and social commentary, you are missing out on factual news. I personally find John Stewart hilarious, so don't get me wrong, but I appreciate him because I also watch real news, and read real reports. Anyway, back to the point. Bill Maher is a Douchebag. The Pope and Catholics cannot be lumped in with a religious cult out in Texas. I'm not a fan of the Mormon Church, but I don't put the actions of this small group on them. Likewise how can the actions of some Priests be put upon all Catholics let alone The Current Pope or The Former Pope? Also statements made about the Pope Benedict having been a Nazi are completely unfounded and far from the factual truth. If you haven't guessed it, or don't know, I am a Catholic. So, this is probably why it's ****** me off so much. I can handle satire. I cannot, however, handle blatant, unfounded attacks. So, more likely than not, if I ever see Bill Maher, I will do the very un-Christian thing and knock the ____ out of him. I'm just sayin'...
