Garofalo: Bible a 'Work of Fiction' for 'Child-Like Audience'

[웃 910]

Sometime-comedian Janeane Garofalo never passes up an opportunity to slam conservatives or, apparently, Christianity. The Huffington Post gave her an opportunity June 24 to kill two birds with one stone.

In a June 24 interview promoting her upcoming special on a network called EPIX, Garofalo compared the most widely-read book of all time, the Bible, to a Bill O’Reilly autobiography and a children’s book authored by former President Bush.

When asked by a Huffington Post reader which of those three publications she’d rather read, Garofalo said, “Actually that’s like six and one half, that is six and one half right there.” Presumably, she meant to use the popular idiom, “six of one, half a dozen of the other.”

“That’s just three works of fiction targeted to a child-like audience so any, all, any one, none,” Garofalo said. “I don’t know how to read either, so that’s kind of a drag.”

During the interview, Garofalo also expressed disappointment in President Obama. “It’s a drag that he’s such a conservative,” she lamented.

Garofalo’s made her disdain for religion clear in the past. During a June 16 appearance on “The Joy Behar Show” on Headline News, she called prayer “anti-intellectual.” Behar later defended Garofalo on ABC’s “The View,” saying the comedian should have said prayer was “un-intellectual.”

Garofalo has also built a long resume of attacking conservatives. She has compared the GOP to neo-Nazis and called Tea Party protestors “functionally retarded,” and “racist backward motherf***ers.” She has called the stable of Fox News anchors and hosts, as well as conservative talk radio hosts, liars.

If you actually read the Bible, Lucky, you would know that stoning is the proper remedy for blasphemers. God, Himself, commanded it.

"And The Lord said to Moses ... He who blasphemes the Name of The Lord shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him; the sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death." - Leviticus 24:13-16

A Muslim shouldn't be the one to have to teach this to you.

"O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people."

Translations of the Qur'an, Surah 5:

No. Those that demand (and do) the beheadings are NOT Muslims. Ask Sofiyya (a Muslima). She says they are not.

Will you eat your words?

Wow. Spoken like an intellectual.

Isn't there a fantasy paperback waiting in a coffee-shop with your name on it?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

You think that what you wrote deserves an "intellectual" response? It doesn't.

You are attempting, once again to bait and insult parts of this membership because you are prejudiced against Islam. It's clear as day - there was no reason to throw that out there, but you did because you wanted to provoke an argument.

You're immature.

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

You reinforce my fantasy scenario.

You reinforce my fantasy scenario.

When you throw out pointed statements that have nothing to do with the OP and are deliberately and obviously aimed at alienating and insulting people of a muslim persuasion, it is clearly not fantasy.

As I said, you are a liar.
