When it comes to HBO’s Bill Maher, you can sometimes take the liberalism out of the atheist, but you cannot take the atheism out of the liberal. Reacting to Louisiana passing a law that mandates the Ten Commandments be displayed in all public school classrooms on Friday’s Real Time, Maher didn’t just attack the idea as a violation of the First Amendment, but claimed the Ten Commandments themselves are just a “dumb, ancient Bronze Age list” that is “all about God and His big fucking ego.”
During his panel discussion with former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former Illinois Rep. turned CNN talking head Adam Kinzinger, Maher declared that “There's no morals, hardly any morals in the Ten Commandments anyway.”
In an attempt to prove his point, he proceeded to run through each commandment, “The first four are all just about God's ego, thou shalt not have other gods before me, thou shalt not worship false idols, thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain, remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. It's all about God and His big fucking ego.”
