Kevin Sorbo Has No Faith in Bill Maher | Dale Hansen

Kevin Sorbo Has No Faith in Bill Maher | Dale Hansen: "Last week, Bill Maher made some statements on his HBO show, Real Time, that had the "War on Christianity" crowd up in arms.

While most of these people will find any statement regarding religion from Bill Maher to be offensive, when he stated that God was a "psychotic mass murderer" for creating humans and subsequently flooding the world -- killing nearly every man, woman, and child on the planet, in an attempt to start over -- to many, this crossed a line."

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Ego?

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Ego?: "I often quote Charles Spurgeon. He went to be with the Lord over 100 years ago, but his amazing words are still bringing life to many. I have often said that small minds use big words to impress small minds and that some of the most educated people in this world are the dumbest people on earth. Spurgeon was both brilliant and simple. He had a vocabulary of 23,000 words. Shakespeare had 23,000 words. If you are average, you have about 13,000 words. Spurgeon had the brilliance to keep it simple so that the simple could understand his brilliant message"
