Comedian Bill Maher’s recent blasphemy against God is further evidence that the Bible is divinely inspired. Referring to the biblical account of Noah’s Flood, Maher told his audience on HBO’s “Real Time” show that God is “a psychotic mass murderer” and a “tyrant” who “punishes everyone just to get back at the few he’s mad at” (“No, Bill Maher,” The Christian Post, Mar. 29, 2014). Roughly 3,000 years ago, the prophet David wrote in Psalm 2 that in the last days the heathen would rage against God and against His anointed, Christ, and that they would do this because they want to “cast away their cords.” This refers to rejection of God’s holy laws, and no one better epitomizes this than Bill Maher and his vain entertainment crowd. Psalm 2 says, “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.” God is laughing at a pathetic little man who thinks he knows more than the omniscient God, who thinks he is more just than the God of justice and more compassionate than the God who died for His enemies, who thinks he can effectually shake his puny fist at the Almighty, who thinks he can correct a Book about which he is obviously illiterate. If he would shut his mouth long enough to get a biblical education, he would understand that God loves mercy more than judgment and He has provided salvation at great cost to Himself for all who will receive it. At the same time, God is God, and His Lordship will not be decided by God haters. God’s law is final, and the wages of sin against His law is death, both physical and eternal, and those who reject God’s salvation will pay the full wage. The people of Noah’s day rejected the preaching of repentance and earned the just wages of their sin just as this present generation will earn the wages of sin if it continues to reject the gospel of Jesus Christ. (By the way, Bill Maher, when are you going to blaspheme Mohammed and mock the Quran?)
