Boycott Bill Murray for a Better America
Despite the fact that we are stampeding through this century with new technologies that isolate and consume us, old Hollywood is still a major player with it comes to the battle for our souls. In the past, their studio chieftans gave us epic heroes like Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston. They gave us charlatans selling bunk fantasies like Tom Cruise and his Scientology. They have used their incredible power unscrupulously to promote sex (Madonna) and perversion (Elton John). Yet in the midst of our current cultural and economic crisis there is one danger that is subtler than the violence and drugs that is normal fare for major motion pictures these days. That danger is represented in the actor known as Bill Murray.
What this man symbolizes is far more ruinous than California’s buffet dinner of liberal socialist philosophies, homosexual lifestyles and pre-teen consumerism. No, what Bill Murray means to America is the acceptance and celebration of an ultimate apathy. He is a weak man, a murderer of lambs, a despicable hedonist who waves the white flag welcoming the end of American moral and economic primacy. He is a harbinger of our death as a culture, the death of that preëminent philosophy of faith married to capitalism that has saved the world countless times from repression and annihilation. Bill Murray is a fatal disease and the sad news we bring you today is that your children have been infected.
HOLLYWOOD HORSEMAN OF THE AMERICAN APOCALYPSE
Celebrity Murray is a sleazy slacker, a hero to “hipsters,” an icon of the unemployed. From his role as the potsmoking day laborer in Caddyshack to the hermaphrodite in Ed Wood to the sex-crazed pervert pushing demonology in Ghostbussers, to the lusty elderly hotel guest in Lost In Translation, Murray has explored every cranny of shamefulness. He never appears clean cut or sober, never moral or compassionate. He is a hollow man, a two-dimensional figure mirroring contemporary society’s addiction to half-hearted hedonism (i.e. those too drunk to rape). Despite this, his fame has steamrolled to the point where he is now one of the most beloved characters for the 15-35 male demographic, commanding an incalculable power over the futures of our children and consequently America (though, in true Bill Murray fashion, his fans are too lazy to have set up even one unique fansite for him).
When you see this man on screen, his eyes wander all over you like a caged New York City rat. They seek out your curves and muscles with eerie desire. Those are not the eyes of someone you can trust. His mischievous grin suggests rape and sex and wanting to violate any thing he comes into contact with in the dead of night. He seems willing to say whatever it takes to get you where he wants to go, both physically and intellectually. Many of my fellow journalists have reported their fear of this man and his wicked charm, the way he works his way into the depths of your life, gets you to confess your darkest secrets. (See “Dinner With Bill Murray: A Party Reporter’s Guide” and “Here’s More Evidence That Bill Murray Is Awesome”.)
He has also been spotted by gossip reporters and police investigators showing up uninvited at “hipster” parties in places like Williamsburg, Brooklyn, once a Jewish enclave now a secret community of bearded 20-somethings wasting their parent’s hard-earned money on cocaine and clothes. Yes, he likes to slip into crowds half his age, squeeze the smooth young legs of Sarah Lawrence grads while joking with indie-band drummers about German poets, groping young men in Union Square Park, asking for change and warning them to tell no one, or singing to Japanese schoolgirls as they shower. One notorious urban legend recounts how Murray encouraged a subway train of young people to strip off their pants at midnight while he sang to them. (Evidence: “Sad Bill Murray: Accosting People In Union Square” and “Bill Murray Reads Poetry to Construction Workers”.)
THE BILL MURRAY EXPERIENCE
Mr. Murray likes to play the gentle, befuddled older man, one who could ask a child to help him find a puppy in a quiet corner of a public park. Yet once you agree, it’s too late. You’ve been drawn into his celebrity orbit, like some delicious secret Bill has deigned to share with the modest creature that is you. Yes, this is the Bill Murray experience, showering the simple with his celebrity charm in the dark alleyways of America. But what is the endpoint here? The pattern is familiar to criminologists and it’s not hard to draw similarities to the lives of Jeffrey Dahlmer or John Wayne Gacy. Murray has not yet been charged with anything more than narcotic arrests and drunk driving, but at the very least parents should be deeply concerned. Is it not better to be safe than sorry when dealing with a man who may be the next national scandal for his bloodthirst and perversion? Would you not do everything in your power to protect your children from death and failure?
In an era when honest, clean hard work makes the most righteous of our youth generation rise to the top, this man Murray represents the scum of the bottom. We need heroes to inspire our children to excel in math and sports, to stand muscle to muscle with those hearty Russians, brain to brain with the human calculators of China. We need American heroes who hark back to the greatest era of Christian morality and innovation, the men who protected the planet from the scourge of Soviet communism while simultaneously inventing the personal computer and the internet.
Instead, we have boozy Bill Murray on our screens, luring young teens to jump in to his musty van of laziness. He seems to say it’s okay to be white and old and a fool because this country is good and will reward you your failure (welfare?). No, this is wrong. We need adults who act like adults: grandfathers who impart patriotism on their offspring, dedicated employees who keep the engines of our economy greased irregardless of their aging, noble gentlemen who are humble before their great God. We do not need perverts like Bill Murray lusting after our beautiful children with a reckless almost urgent need to tear them from innocence so he can insanely explore his lost, burning childhood on their soft bodies on old couches in dirty apartments in the ghettos of America. What have we lost? What will we ever gain? What does it mean when we say that Jesus died for our sins? What has happened to the country I once loved!
America needs to boycott Bill Murray and do it now! Peel back the layers of this aging man: slapstick comedian, jaded movie star, imperious intellectual, notorious bon vivant, restless wanderer in the dark, slick self-promoter… Have you reached the core yet? Is he hollow? Or has Bill Murray come to the grand revelation himself that he is desperately clawing against his own mortality with half-hearted sexual perversion and intellectual degeneracy, wandering drunken through the night, without passion or direction, already lost to the game of life. He is defeat. He has given up making meaningful gestures of faith or righteousness to instead nest in those small moments of self-satisfaction before he slips into the quiet bosom of obscurity. There is no denying that this grotesque and dangerous creature can be described as nothing less than one of the four horsemen of America’s impending Apocalypse.
“I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the seven living creatures say in a voice like thunder, ‘Come!’ I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on Conquest.” –Revelation 6:1-2.

i’m sorry billings but this time you have gone really far of the deep end.
i’m sorry but your pathetic hate for aguy for simply enjoying life truely shoes how unlikeable you really are. i mean come on i have never seen anyone read so fucking deep into stuff. i’m sorry to tell you but we are like anyone else on this fucking planet capabel of think by ourselves. just because we see bill muray we are not sudenly beliveing in ghosts nor do we beleive that the way he acts is completly normal.
this is fiction and we understand that. you however seem to have a very hard time diferinciating between fact and fiction.
“faith” and “rightousness” isn’t something that means anything to us. well actually it kinda does by now. it’s horrible values that make you put ideals over happines and your belif of what is right over common sense. your faith is what is truely destorying this world. open your eyes and start thinking for yourself a bit. blind hate won’t get you far nor will you many conspiracy theories. nobody is out for you personally but some of us like to enjoy life and we may like to do it in ways you might not enjoy. just like you find peace in the bible we find peace in comedy. you are so blind so selfabsorbed taht you can’t even begin to understand others fellings.
if you are not going to let us enjoy our life then explain to me why we should not devote our lives to burn bibels and beat up christians. why should we not insult you? why should we not fight against you when you fight against us? why are we not alowed to do to you what you do to us?

Jazze is right.
You must’ve either graduated from troll university or been dropped on your head by your mother when you were small. To rail against a comedic genius like Bill and comparing him to one of the horsemen of the apocalypse, one of the reasons ‘America’ is declining, is pure madness. While I usually do not begrudge anyone their invisible sky fairy, I do begrudge you it. Another overbearing, fear-mongering, moralising, god-preaching e-hypocrite with nothing better to do than to allude to the decline of their faith and blame it on some idiotic cause. That’s you.
I mean come on.. Bill Murray? Seriously? Have you run out of subjects to ridicule? Surely you can find another nipple-slip scandal that will corrupt kids across the nation and turn them away from ‘the true faith’? Teddybears called Jesus? No?
You might well think: ‘Obviously people agree with me, look at the number of hits I’ve gotten today’. Nothing can be further from the truth. Your article’s been posted on reddit under the ‘funny’ section. And it is funny. Schadenfreude always is.

Self-evident? If your thesis was that you’re past bat-shit insane, then by all means it’s self-evident. You’re hating on Bill Murray why? Hell, when you insult Betty White or the Golden Girls or anyone else, you actually HAVE a reason. Granted, it’s a terrible reason and one that shows a moron you are, but this? This is just ludicrous. He’s a hero to hipsters? Other than the fact that you can’t define ‘hipster’ properly, he hasn’t done jack. He isn’t that active in Hollywood anymore, his biggest roles in the past couple years were an animated badger, the mayor of an underground city, and an animated fat cat. He’s getting to be an old man and you’re doing nothing but harassing the guy.

All this support for the Hollywood liberal establishement. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised.
What’s so wrong with standing up for something good for America? We are in the worst economic downturn since the great depression and you’re defending a bum of an actor because it fits your image of your selves?
I bet you all drank Obama’s kool aid, too. How’s that working out for you? Seen the latest jobs numbers? Signing up for some free health care?
Liberals are completely out of touch with how the natural world and the world of man works and would just as soon betray the efforts of our nation rather than own up to reality. Humankind will never overcome it’s darkest elements. It can only recognize and confront them with a clear perception. That clarity is important.
The real world is a hard, dangerous place, with pockets of relative stability. The liberals have allowed the privlege and success bought by earlier generations to completely skew their perceptions and responsiblities that they are now called upon to use. Instead you’re sitting on your hands and your president is sitting on his hands as our the people with fame and money. I have no respect for what the people of Hollywood are now doing to this country.

I love it how an innocent soul, such as Mr. Murray, can run your heart through a such a dilapidated state that you can’t just deal with what makes most people happy in this world. Instead you rant to all the pathetic close minded lemmings out their who live by following mommy and daddy’s morbid beliefs, and you try to sway their minds into an even deeper mindscrew, bringing up this irrelevant man’s work dating all the way back to 1980. If you seriously don’t have anything else to pick on besides a 30 year old comedy, perhaps you should just drop the cue card rhetoric, and look at your own favorable sources. The Passion of The Christ is the first film you listed on your perfect portrayals of ‘the Christian message.’ A film directed by a man who told his wife that “if she got raped by a pack of niggers it wouldn’t be his fault”. A man who is under investigation for domestic violence, and who admits to hitting her as well as threatening to kill her.
Yes, the perfect Christian message in my opinion too…. hypocrisy.

Dear Fucker that wrote this & Stephenson Billings,
While it is true that people are entitled to their own opinions, you have just lost that privilege. You have proven, time and time again, with your articles and comments on this website that you are not clear minded, rational human beings. Bill Murray is an actor. And he is a very good one at that. And if you cannot enjoy movies like Groundhog Day or The Life Aquatic because you find them morally and religiously offensive, then you must have a very hard time finding happiness in life. Work on your sense of humor. Its 2010. Wake up.
Sincerely,
God

Seeking salvation? The sooner you accept Bill Murray as your personal saviour and let him into your heart, the sooner salvation shall be yours!!! Personally, this notion is a little bit less ridiculous than all that jesus christ mumbo jumbo. News flash: Jesus, if he did exist (which I am relatively sure that he in fact did), was nothing more than the world’s first charismatic lunatic. Don’t give me all this bull about hollywood and Bill Murray morally corrupting our youth. WE are morally corrupting our youth. Many PARENTS fail to instill proper morals in their children. Instead of playing the blame game and seeking scapegoats (which in this case is a STREEEETCH), why don’t we work harder to EDUCATE our children and encourage them to ask questions and use their conscience? Oh wait, I forgot, questions aren’t allowed..we are supposed to blindly stumble along the path of the worlds first charismatic lunatic…we all know how that usually ends up (see: Holocaust). Moral corruption very often stems from the very institutions that claim to fight it (and often in the worst ways). Until this fact is no longer true, your words mean nothing. Clean up the garbage, allow people to question their existence in this universe, encourage people to use their moral sense or right and wrong to guide them (instead of the Bible’s moral sense of right and wrong) and them maybe we can talk. Much love.

Don’t you think it’s rather silly that you worship some silly little man that you’ve never met but have just read about in the newspaper because he sounds cool? Bill Murray is not the character he plays in the movies. He is a man who lusts for money and fame above all else. Inside, he is just as corrupt as any man in Hollywood. Now do you still want to spend your adult life giving Murray your money? Don’t you feel the slightest bit guilty of ashamed of yourself? it’s time you 20-somethings grow up and face the facts.

Don’t you think it’s silly to interpret literally and base your entire existence off of a book that was written close to 2000 years ago by bigoted and fanatical patriachs who voted on its content? You sir are an irrational lunatic. In legal terminology, you suffer from an insane delusion, one which is essentially a false belief that is not rationally based on any real life evidence. You read a book, about a man, who everyone had a million different stories about. A book was then written about this man and the things he did, that was written by people later who did not witness anything he did or hear anything he said. If you want to truly be Christ-like, then you should only hang out in all male groups of apostles who shun their families and talk about loving everyone despite their wrongdoing. I don’t know about who you hang out with, but your words are very clearly un-Christ-like in their message of ostracising and hating Bill Murray. There is a special place in hell (if there really is one) for people like you who claim to follow “the word”, but who in reality have perverted it into its own peculiar type of evil.

Stephenson,
I am young. I don’t believe my exact age has much to do with anything. I noticed the only response you made to my post involved asking my age and labeling me a child for my “facile idolatry.” For the record, I do not worship Bill Murray. He is a funny man sometimes. A comedian. Nothing more. I do spend money to see him in a movie on occasion, and as a result Mr. Murray ends up with a fraction of that money in his pocket. I feel no shame for this. I suppose my assumption that an esteemed writer such as yourself must possess a sense for literary sarcasm was a bad one. I could honestly care less about Bill Murray. I am more concerned about the general opinions and attitudes of followers of christ. Bible fever has given the majority of you holy zombies an extremely inflated sense of self-righteousness that leaves me feeling queasy. Always afraid to ask the difficult questions. Always searching out the next target. All smoke an mirrors, distracting people from seeing life for what it really is. Dodging this scandal and that one. I’m a child? You sir are the true child. I examine the world, I explore every possibility, I consider anything possible. You operate on blind faith alone. I know that the notion of blind faith seems noble to you and your fellow followers, but it is terribly dangerous. You spoon feed your readers false-facts and hatred in it’s purest form. You are a fear-mongerer, nothing more. For myself, I’ll take Bill Murray. Do not bother with a reply unless you plan to address every point mentioned. I don’t mind if you call me names (as I have obviously done in this statement) and shoot down my every thought, but please address this post as a whole if you plan to address it at all. I can see straight through your tactical avoidance of specific issues. Don’t just slap a label on me and snub your “dignified” nose at my apparent love for Bill Murray. Do it again and everyone will see you as just another religious nut that keeps missing the point. Do yourself a favor, get out of your own way, and enjoy.
Most Sincerely,
Craig

– So Hollywood Idolatry is ‘bad’ when we are ‘worshipping’ at the feet of Bill Murray, but it’s okay when they share your values.
– Also this single line in one of your replies either proves you as an obvious troller or the most completely out-of-touch person on the planet:
“There is far too much negativity coming out of Hollywood, even when something like the Passion comes along and shows how profitable good, solid and positive Christian messages can be.”
– Finally, using the fact that there are no fan websites devoted to him perhaps denotes the biggest philosophical difference I see going on between the sides in this debate. Maybe, just maybe that’s perfect proof against your thesis. Maybe, that’s a sign that people who respect Bill Murray are exactly the type of people that DON’T get caught up in things like Hero Worship, you know, the way you guys talk about Ronald Reagan. Just because your theology happens to be one that is wrapped around the idea of “worship” does not mean that anyone who sees qualities in someone that they admire (for instance, just being a gifted comedic actor) automatically wants to supplant the “idols” values for their own.

I’m sorry to tell you that Christianity and republicans are not the same. And furthermore, Ronald Reagan sucked as an actor!

“No, what Bill Murray means to America is the acceptance and celebration of an ultimate apathy.”
Thanks for the hyperlink to a pic of an adorable Shetland Sheepdog!
“He is a weak man, a murderer of lambs”
A murderer of lambs? Slander much?
“He is a harbinger of our death as a culture, the death of that preëminent philosophy of faith married to capitalism that has saved the world countless times from repression and annihilation. Bill Murray is a fatal disease and the sad news we bring you today is that your children have been infected.”
Hmm…yeah, that’s pretty much all slander.
“He never appears clean cut or sober, never moral or compassionate.”
More slander.
“When you see this man on screen, his eyes wander all over you like a caged New York City rat. They seek out your curves and muscles with eerie desire.”
Uh…what? You’re just pulling insults out of your ass now.
“Those are not the eyes of someone you can trust.”
You realize that most of us wouldn’t come near YOU with a 50 foot pole, right?
“His mischievous grin suggests rape and sex and wanting to violate any thing he comes into contact with in the dead of night.”
Wow, DEFINITELY slander!
“Many of my fellow journalists”
You mean many journalists. YOU’RE not a journalist. You’re a blogger. How many times do we have to go over this?
“Yes, he likes to slip into crowds half his age”
Didn’t you attempt to do the same thing? It was at Brown or Yale or something, right? And you threw a tantrum because they wouldn’t let you in.
“squeeze the smooth young legs of Sarah Lawrence grads”
I saw nothing in that article you linked to that suggested he touched any legs.
“groping young men in Union Square Park, asking for change and warning them to tell no one, or singing to Japanese schoolgirls as they shower.”
More slander.
“The pattern is familiar to criminologists and it’s not hard to draw similarities to the lives of Jeffrey Dahlmer or John Wayne Gacy.”
Dude, why would you even mention John Wayne Gacy? Almost everyone here agrees that it’s YOU who bears a disturbing resemblance to the man, in both career and appearance.
“We need heroes to inspire our children to excel in math and sports”
Sports are not necessary in order to succeed in life, regardless of what your shitty little “article” on jocks said.
“dedicated employees who keep the engines of our economy greased irregardless of their aging”
Dude, “irregardless” is a double negative. The word is “regardless”!
“We do not need perverts like Bill Murray lusting after our beautiful children with a reckless almost urgent need to tear them from innocence so he can insanely explore his lost, burning childhood on their soft bodies on old couches in dirty apartments in the ghettos of America.”
I hope Bill Murray sues your ass AND your balls!

I would hope that you could approach me with a little more respect in the future, Claire, but I will respond to your lengthy comment nonetheless. What I have written is not slander, it is reporting. My facts are correct and because you simply disagree with them from the comfort of your own home is meaningless to me. Clearly I have touched a nerve here with this article and yes, I do not have any respect for what this man does nor what he represents. That should be clear. It is not slander to speak up, and speak out against injustice. The Hollywood lberal machine has shoved too many charalatans down our throats for too long. Those of us who are good, hard working and loving Americans are not included in the lamestream media and their pro-homosexual, pro-socialist agenda. And do you know what? We’re getting fed up! We have a right to speak out because this is OUR country too! We have a right to voice our opinions and who in the world are you to stomp in here and say that my free speech is not allowed and label (falsely) anything I say slander? You are really dragging the bottom of a dirty sea with that immature and pointless attack. That’s all you people do, scream in bullhorns when it’s someone you’re protesting against but the minute a conservative tries to open his mouth and you either drown him out with your lies or claim harassment. It’s a tired plan from your liberal playbook and those of us on the right are tired of it. I do hope you can see some of the points I’ve made here and I don’t want to sound all too negative. Some times it takes awhile to meet on terms and I am grateful that this discussion is ongoing. We really need more direct communication about morality in this country. God bless!

I have a real problem with the way Mr. Billings here quotes the bible.

The old testament was not meant to be quoted and used as a weapon, but to help you live your life. And what is this guys problem with Bill Murray. I’m pretty sure preists are known as pedophiles, not comedians/actors. And what’s up with the way he’s all America is great and Christian. It’s a land for religious freedom, for Hindus, atheists, Jews, bhuddists, Christians, or whoever the hell else writes a book about a dude and follows it. It’s not just for Christians. And lastly, what was all that bullshit about him looking at you all sex-rapy like a rat? That isn’t true! There isn’t any evidence that is complete bull.

Yes, we need to be redeemed, we need to be held accountable for our sins, we need to make America and the rest of the world a better place. Why do you think there is so much suffering in this world, so many catastrophes from earthquakes to fires and floods? We are on the verge of annihilation here and I know that sounds harsh to you people but truly the Christian community is only trying to save your souls. Yes We Can Make This World a Better Place!

The whole idea is just insane that we’re at the edge. For one thing, NO ONE knows when the world will end or HOW. At best we have a theory that the Earth will blow up or dry up several millennia after humanity’s died out. How will we die out? Who knows.
//Why do you think there is so much suffering in this world, so many catastrophes from earthquakes to fires and floods?//
Because shit happens. It’s not like there’s a storm of crap happening all the time, there are actual times during the year where floods happen more often as well as fire storms going off. As for fires that are more man made, there are many reasons for those: people are idiots and leave a flame open, someone trips and threw a convoluted series of events causes a house fire, someone assaults a home and burns it down or there’s some other chain of events that cause it. You’re so scared stiff you don’t want to look for the logical answers. You just want to say “GOD IS PISSED!” and let be at that, you just want reassurance from your friends that you’re right, and that’s it. You’re nothing but a scared child in this world that doesn’t look for answers or can’t fend for himself.

Hey blogger/author guy,
I find it interesting that as a Christian you haven’t drawn one of these individuals to yourself through your words. When Jesus spoke he spoke with such compassion that people were drawn to him.
The only people that Jesus spoke even remotely harshly against were the religious leadership. He wouldn’t have blogged about people like Bill Murray. Instead, he would have gone and eaten with him in his home.
Yet, you spend your days railing against people such as he and judging him for his actions.
If you are a Christ-follower, why are not attracting more of these readers to your message? I believe it is because there is no hope in your message.Your message is nothing but hate mongering. No one is struck by conviction. Instead, they think you are a lunatic.
I think that maybe you should put on a different pair of ‘lenses’ and then come back and read the Gospels.

Not one theme of religion or anything close to it in that movie. The only Christians I take seriously are the ones who practice the love and tolerance that they preach. You will never EVER get one person to agree with what you’re saying in your entire lifetime (I guarantee it) if you say the bible is all about love and then practice THIS much ignorance and offensiveness.

Brother Tim, at this point I am starting to suspect that it is true this is a site built for satire. If so, you’re doing damage to the ministry in a trojan horse. If not however, calling Bill Murray names won’t solve anything. If someone were trapped in a burning building, would you try to resuce him, or stand outside yelling at him for being there in the first place? What would the end result be? It’d be fruitless. IF Mr. Murray is guilty of anything he’s been accused of, this is not the way to approach it. You should be actively intercessing for him in prayer for Christ to rescue his soul; to save a life. If he is this influential, imagine how many who are lost among our youth could be changed if they saw the change Jesus Christ brought to Bill’s life.
The bible has a lot to say about the tounge. Here’s a quote from James:5-6:(I used the New International Version this time for better understanding) Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
That’s pretty severe.
Here is an excerpt I found about the proud tounge (link at the end): …Psalm 12:3-4 says, “The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?” The most annoying Christians in the world are those with proud tongues because a proud tongue usually comes with two closed ears! Proud- tongued Christians are generally so full of themselves that they learn very little from anyone else. A proud-tongued Christian will talk much of his knowledge and service, but very little about the Lord.
In a church, a proud-tongued Christian will make all sorts of suggestions about how the church should function, yet his suggestions, if received, will place burdens on everyone but himself. A proud- tongued Christian is hard to teach or reason with because he thinks he knows everything.
Friend, God hates a proud tongue. Allow the Holy Spirit to use your tongue in the way of humility and kindness because pride will only quench God’s Spirit and damage your testimony.
Brother Tim, I have had no success in trying to be a peacekeeper here, so this will be my last post. I’ve posted rebuttals to the author of this article, but have gotten nowhere. As such, this post while it would be nice if were to serve for your benefit, is more to serve for the benefit of those to whom you’ve managed to damage your testimony. There’s still time to correct that mistake, though. Mr. Billings should write an adendum addressed to Mr. Murray himself, to apologize. I don’t think he has that much humility, though.

Uh, we only got into wars because someone decide to essentially leave a dog turd on fire on our porch. Up until then, we only kept to ourselves. Remember ‘Nam? If that wasn’t a perfect example of why we shouldn’t go around butting our noses into other people’s business, then the only thing I can think of is the war your ex-lover Bush started when he was in office since the shit hit the fan faster by 10 fold. We weren’t defending anyone other than ourselves, and we essentially only one because we threw a cheap shot at our enemies, especially in WWII where we nuked Japan twice and because we got in so late to the war, we were fresh in soldiers, moral, and supplies while everyone else was dwindling.

Yes, you people live in the shadow of our strength and are able to eke out your independence there but you have nothing like the problems America faces and honestly your response is arrogant and childish. That’s why I say America dump Europe. They have not done anything good for us in a long time. Oh, and you’re welcome for letting us win WW2 for you. And thanks Germany and France, etc. for not joining in the Gulf War.//
What, are you a Native American? Did your great-great-great-great-great gran’ dad hunt buffalo before the White Man came over? You’re just as European as anyone else living in America unless your family descended straight from the natives. The Cold War was also just one giant-stand off. At some point, everyone said ‘screw this’ and left. No one was firing any guns or missiles until someone else did, which was a loop that never got started. There were no winners or losers, unless you count the total evasion of a full-on nuclear war as a win, in which case we were all winners. America isn’t some ‘chosen one’ when it comes to countries, we just got lucky at everything. Then we started waving our dicks around and got kicked in the gonads hard and (should have) learned our lesson: don’t dick around with another country if they didn’t dick around with us. As for Europe not doing anything lately? Do you WANT them to go into wars that they have no business in? Did you COMPLETELY forget that we trade with them, alongside the rest of the world? Your mentality is what’s causing the American stereotype, get off your Eagleland high-horse and do some damn research instead of butt-fucking your boyfriend while saying you’re straight and reading the bible for random quotes to throw at people.

This is what all fundamentalist Christians say, but let’s be serious! You start all this by doing only what God can do: judging a person’s heart. And then when people start heaping criticisms upon you the only thing you can do is say that you are a martyr for Christ!
Be honest with yourself man! You are not serving Christ in this. Christ did not come to rail against perversions. He came, was born in a lowly manger, grew up and served humanity. His compassion was a conduit to action.
He stayed away from politics and when the disciples tried to press him into that arena he stood firm.
So go, find a different vocation. Try compassion. Go serve the poor or the marginalized. Be compassionate. Live the verses you just quoted above and stop this foolishness here. Because truly, you are driving people further away from Christ by the words that you write.

Just look at the case with Shat, who some considered to be a modern day version of the Modest Proposal, being so crazy that no one can take him serious, yet pushes the boundary past what people would think. Just replace Shat with Stevie and you have an idea of how odd this is. The people behind Abe and Amber and some of the others have to be jokes, no one could possibly say a game about raping a Native American is wholesome fun for the family, nor could anyone say that an English word means something radically different in another language and mean those things seriously (especially with how little they defend themselves, it’s easy to see how they’re a parody or satire of how people thing). Stevie seems like he came to a costume party where everyone had to dress up in church clothes and he’s the only one taking it seriously.

Unless this “Stephenson Billings” character is some sort of deep satirical fiction, Facebook profile and all, then I think we may have located the craziest idiot on the planet. I’m just floored.
If the whole personality is satire, then it’s brilliant, if a bit too subtle. In his Facebook profile, activities include “Sarah Palin” and “clowns” — a clever comparison. And one of his only two entries for “Movie” is “Stephen Baldwin.” Between that and the “motivational children’s party entertainer” thing, I really have to wonder if it’s all an elaborate hoax.

Thank you again Stephenson for bringing this matter to light. It just goes to show that it’s not always the most obvious enemies of Christ that are the most dangerous. As Matthew 7:13 says “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.” I think the meaning of that passage is pretty obvious- the road to Hell is an easy one and it’s exactly the one that Bill Murray and the sneering hipsters following his apathetic example have chosen to follow.
I can only pray that your sagacious advice sticks in some of their pot-addled brains and that at least a few may come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
As usual your words cause me to think. I was preparing a sermon for Sunday morning based on interpreting Lamentations in relation to Biblical prophecy, however I now think I might change that to one on the dangers of apathy and slacking and the need for appropriate role models and save Lamentations for another day. I think that’s more likely to get them talking and I can take tomorrow off to play golf.

Hi Barry, I see from your site you are some sort of new age scientist. I do not have much faith in that approach to life and I do think there are harmful beliefs hiding in that marketplace so I would caution you to be conscious.
And yes, I have confronted and confessed my own sins. It is a truly gut wrenching experience but has brought me much closer to Jesus Christ. As for your general question/topic, I will pose a question to you that I pose to many: If we are not allowed to condemn vile acts or even discuss another’s morality, would we then simply let the pedophiles and murderers in our midst run free simply because we are told not to “judge” them? That is a profoundly misunderstood teaching of the Bible.
Of course we must be vigilant and righteous in our lives and we must share that love of Jesus with others. If no one points out sin in our midsts, who will?
And no, I am not a joke, thanks for the childish insult. The spammers here will say anything to discredit the idea that I actually believe in something. Why is that so hard to comprehend?

//Hi Barry, I see from your site you are some sort of new age scientist. I do not have much faith in that approach to life and I do think there are harmful beliefs hiding in that marketplace so I would caution you to be conscious.//
Because you think ANY idea or thought other than “follow god and jesus in the way of Christianity” is something you don’t have much faith in and tell people to get out of.
//As for your general question/topic, I will pose a question to you that I pose to many: If we are not allowed to condemn vile acts or even discuss another’s morality, would we then simply let the pedophiles and murderers in our midst run free simply because we are told not to “judge” them? That is a profoundly misunderstood teaching of the Bible.//
We judge crimes, not sins. Killing a man in cold blood or raping a child is a crime, being gay is not. You and your God may think that killing and raping are not sins and that being gay is, but a crime does not equal a sin.
//Of course we must be vigilant and righteous in our lives and we must share that love of Jesus with others. If no one points out sin in our midsts, who will?//
The only one who has that right, the very being you follow. Again, you judge sins while others judge crimes yet compare the two as one in the same when they are not.
//And no, I am not a joke, thanks for the childish insult. The spammers here will say anything to discredit the idea that I actually believe in something. Why is that so hard to comprehend?//
You are a joke, you can’t formulate or grasp any kind of concept, if words get too big for you, you run with your tail between your legs, you can’t define words or people properly, you go against the very teachings of Christ and believe you are the only one in the right. For one thing, spammers are people who put up random crap or advertisements. I don’t recall your major opponents putting up an ad for some other site or product or anything. Second, what you believe in is drastically different from what you think you’re following. The words you’re following are only yours, misconstrued and demented versions of the word of God and Christ, with your typical random bible quote being something of a shield for you to hide behind in your insane beliefs that you are right while the reality is quite the opposite.

Stephenson, thanks for responding to my posts. No, I’m not a new age scientist; I’m an amateur scientist. It occurs to me that, just as it’s impossible to distinguish between a religious fundamentalist rant and a parody of a religious fundamentalist rant, it’s also difficult to distinguish between me and crackpot; my theories about migraine pathogenesis have some of the earmarks of a crank theory. I’ve gotten a lot of abuse while participating in online migraine forums, even though my topic is one that should be discussed rationally with a logical and scientific approach. Unfortunately people tend to resort to social tactics they’re more familiar with and skilled at: insults, bullying, ostracism, etc. At first I was shocked that so many people didn’t know how to participate in a civil discussion. Eventually I developed a thick skin, and became hard to provoke. When I read your replies to critics I see patience alongside the irascibility, which is a clue that you enjoy what you are doing.
(Abuse isn’t so nearly bad as being ignored.) I worked hard on my website and I can see you work hard on yours. But I don’t think I could diligently and stubbornly stay in character as you do. You are making an important point, but I know making that point isn’t easy.
If you want me to address Stephenson Billings’ point about “judge not” as if Billings is sincere, here goes:
Billings harsh judgment of others is inconsistent with Christian doctrine. Billings harshly judges Bill Murray, yet as a Christian Billings should be aware that he himself is a sinner and is no better than Murray, so has no right to judge Murray. Billings, like Murray, is a miserable sinner and will be saved solely by the grace of God. Should the Lord spare Billings, Billings cannot take any credit for earning his own salvation, since he doesn’t deserve salvation.
Regarding the problem of pedophiles and murderers running free in our midst: Yeah, that’s a problem, but it’s an earthly problem. Christians should not be concerned with earthly events, as earthly life is ephemeral. The soul is eternal, so Christians should always keep their eyes on Heaven. If a murderer wants to murder you, let him murder you and send you to God. Don’t resist violence; don’t defend yourself physically or in court.
Christ said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” Satan offered Christ all the kingdoms of the world, so apparently Satan owns all the kingdoms of the world. Christ does not rule the world; Satan does. Christians should therefore not be concerned with earthly politics. Satan rules this earth and you can’t change that by electing born-again Christians or by imposing an earthly theocracy.

THEN PRAY FOR HIM!!! Have you congregation pray for him, even better on a regular basis in a prayer group. You don’t have the power to save anybody. That’s God’s job; the Holy Spirit’s job. Write articles directed at his attention to communicate the truth to him.
1 Timothy 2:3-4 (King James Version) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
John 14:12-13 (King James Version)Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
You should know these things! I’m beginning to question your sincerity concerning this article. Was this satire, or were you being serious? If you’re being serious, please go to a Pastor before you damage any more opportunities for Christ to reach the lost. You’re turning people off left-and-right, and that is not the work of God, it does nothing to glorify him. So tell me, are you Jonah who asked the people in Nineveh (in this case, Bill Murray) to repent, or Eliphaz who misrepresented God. I think you’d better start reading about Eliphaz in the book of Job. God takes it very seriously, and is very displeased when his character is misrepresented.

In addition: You accused Bill Murray of being a murderer. Know who else was a murderer? The Apostle Paul. He killed Christians, before God got a hold of him on the road to Samaria.

Yes, we need to be redeemed, we need to be held accountable for our sins, we need to make America and the rest of the world a better place. Why do you think there is so much suffering in this world, so many catastrophes from earthquakes to fires and floods? We are on the verge of annihilation here and I know that sounds harsh to you people but truly the Christian community is only trying to save your souls. Yes We Can Make This World a Better Place! We can do so, so much more but it must begin with accepting Jesus Christ as your own personal Lord and Savior. I believe in your redemption.”

There is a sermon I heard yesterday, it was the second of two parts from Dr. David Jeremiah. The topic: Mudslinging. Your article achieves nothing. Instead of finding ways to sling mud at this man, why don’t you spend your time writing articles to get his attention and tell him about who Jesus Christ is, how He loves him, about His grace, and about what the 10 commandments were for? They aren’t rules to beat people with, they are to keep people from getting into trouble in their lives; from sin, and thereby farther away from a God who cannot accept sin, but with His own son created a bridge from man to Him, if they’ll walk it. Your article tells Bill Murray how you feel about him. It said nothing about how He feels about him. Instead of attacking him, try grouping together people who will PRAY AND INTERCESS FOR HIM. Interesting, Woodrow Kroll has been teaching a series about how Christ can’t even get into his own church because pride has taken eyes away from Christianity, and placed it on Churchianity. Satan loves Churchianity because it turns people away from God and leaves this vulnerable for him to lure and later devour. Before you preach Christ, I hope you know Christ, because I heard nothing of him in what you had to communicate. You need to read chapter 42, in the book of Job.

Well, I consider myself a Christian, and as such I follow Christ’s teachings. I believe his most important commandments were to love your neighbor and love Him. You are OBVIOUSLY not showing love towards people who do not “agree” with you. The Condemnation and Judgement that you put on people is actually a sin. You are not supposed to show hate, you are supposed to love everyone. I don’t see how you can call yourself a Christian. You are one of the most hateful and ignorant people I know of. Don’t get caught up in pointing fingers, why not love your enemies and show them Christ’s love through your own love?

Yes, I do understand the importance of Love. I push myself to respect Christ’s teachings on Love every day. But I also think we are living in a crisis of faith and morality and we need to call out what is wrong with our society. i will not wait around while my America is destroyed. We need to not be afraid of voicing our concerns for the faith of America. Christians too long have been scared into silence by the lamestream media and liberal politicians. Abortion, “gay” marriage, socialistic policies– should we just turn our backs while this happens in America?

There’s plenty of Christian’s here, they just know what the hell they’re talking about and follow God and Christ, not the imitations you follow.
//Yes, I do understand the importance of Love. I push myself to respect Christ’s teachings on Love every day. But I also think we are living in a crisis of faith and morality and we need to call out what is wrong with our society.//
So you’re idea of fixing what’s wrong is to hate everything even though you know that Christ said that hating is bad. This makes sense how?

That’s because fanatics and idiots like you are so incredibly vocal that non-Christians end up accidentally associating you with them and think all of them are like you, hate-filled and zealous beings who don’t follow the word of God correctly. That very section you just wrote is prime example. Everyone who’s a liberal or for gay marriage is a being of evil. To you, there is no middle ground, there’s no point the other side has that could make you re-think your values or make you say “you have a point, but” and then come with a rebuttal. It’s instantly “YOU’RE WRONG BECAUSE I SAID SO!” because that’s all your pathetic mind can come up with.

“Christians too long have been scared into silence by the lamestream media and liberal politicians. Abortion, “gay” marriage, socialistic policies– should we just turn our backs while this happens in America?”
No, we should never be silent. But please remember, I think you have the wrong idea about how to approach the issue. One very important aspect you’ve forgotten here, is what this nation needs, and is starving for: The Word. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 . It is then when Jesus is in the hearts of our nation’s people, that change will begin to happen “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 . In other words, the gospel, the truth, the Way! If you’re going to chastize someone, follow up with hope beyond condemnation with the gospel message of salvation by the power of Jesus Christ who has the authority to forgive all sins. “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-4

wow, this post was so far over-the-top… I’m guessing that you may be someone who wishes they could enjoy life like Bill Murray, is but are not. Bill Murray is actually a wonderful guy from all I can tell, believe it or not. He tells jokes and makes people laugh. You’re entitled to your faith, for sure, but .. um..
“never moral or compassionate”. Um, have you seen Groundhog day? You should. Also not everyone in Williamsburg is living off their parent’s money — there are many great folks there with pure hearts.
I think you seriously should consider how compassionate you’re being towards other people.. maybe then you’ll let yourself enjoy life a bit more and be more compassionate towards yourself..

God knows the real Billy Murray. He is not an image to Him, he is a prescious creation who He wants to call son. I wish that’s what you would have spent your time talking about. This reminds me so much, of a funeral I atteneded a couple of years ago. My step-Grandmother (who I loved very dearly) passed away. Her youngest son, and his family were athiests, although she’d spent her whole life trying to raise him with the knowledge of God in his life. A lot of bad things happened that broke his heart, he blamed God, abandoned God, and later denied God. At her funeral, part of me was really excited. “FINALLY, WE’VE GOT EVERYBODY IN A CHURCH”, Maybe the Holy Spirit will reach somebody here, and hit a home run to rescue this family”. I was thinking, until the preacher began to speak. He sobbed and screamed, pointed his finger though the whole service, part of it wasn’t even comprehended for all of his antics. To be honest, I left wide-eyed and OH, I was so disappointed!!! What a wonderful opportunity for Christ….wasted. At this service, Jesus Christ was never able to get in, His message was squandered because the preacher failed to recognize an opportunity for Christ and instead focused it on himself. For all his antics, I don’t remember a thing he said. My uncle died a few years later, of a sudden heart-attack. He had just started listening to my Step-Dad, who was still trying his best to talk to him about God in his life. Now, he’s living the rest of his life not knowing where his brother is. Losing someone who you love to hell, now that’s torture…for the dead, and the living. He tried so hard not to blame God, he seems to have finally found some peace, but he will wear those scars on his heart for the rest of his life.
I wish so badly, that your article would have been to say: “Hey, Bill Murray: Jesus loves you. He wants to know you. I know some people will think I’m a kook for witnessing to you this way, but shame on them, not on me. I hope you’ll let me tell you about this man…..” And then, you (and possibly a group of others agree in prayer for him. Please, work to bring souls to Christ, not to repel them. This is all about Him, all about relationship, about CHRISTianity, not about Churchianity; that’s, where “religion” sets itself into the picture.

With all due respect to your profession and religion:
You have not written an un-biased review of facts here. I would be the first to argue that you have every right to have this opinion. However, to present it as anything remotely resembling fact makes a mockery of the field of journalism you claim to participate in.
Sentences like, “There is no denying that this grotesque and dangerous creature can be described as nothing less than one of the four horsemen of America’s impending Apocalypse.” are nothing short of shameful. Honestly, you should be ashamed to call this journalism with any kind of straight face.
At its best, you have practiced blatant sensationalism. At worst, you are dressing thinly veiled insults and ad hominem attacks as facts and inevitabilities.
When you can present a reasoned argument founded upon impartial evidence that Bill Murray is destroying our society, I will listen. Until then, anything else you share will just be written off as so much drivel.
Fortunately, most of the readers here seem to agree with me, albeit with varying degrees of disrespect and ad hominem attacks of their own.

Well, you aren’t a journalist, and this place doesn’t amount to much more than a blog, so you can’t say that he’s in the wrong.
//I am sick of being misrepresented and yes I do read your insane comments as well but do I have the time to respond to each and every ridiculous example of circular failed logic?//
Where’s an internet mirror when you need one? Why not look at your own views. You believe in God because the bible says so. So why does the bible says God exists? Because it does. You talk about circular logic when you’re nothing but a snake eating it’s own tail-end since it’s one line curved.

You wanna be taken seriously as a journalist, you have to not only defend your views, but also prove you’ve done research. So far, you’ve only done half those things, and you fail miserably at it as well. And loose fingers? Was that meant to be an insult? You really have gone and lost it, haven’t you?
As far as getting people to understand where you’re coming from, you’ll need a damn time-travel machine to take people back to when the freakin’ KKK were around more often than today.

It is a meaningful passage, thank you for bringing this up. As I have written about many times, “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things” does not mean Christians should be silent on the issues. Are we to stand quietly by when the rapists and murderers run our land? Should we bear silent witness to pedophilia and homosexaulity? Of course not and the Bible does not teach that in any way, shape or form. The verse in question invokes us to be as pure as we can be before we wade into the battlefield for the souls of others. I have my house in order, do you? And yes, I do think it’s a responsibility of us Christian-Americans to break free from liberal lamestream media oppression and speak out about our rights and our faith.

In psychology 101 we learn of a phenomenon called projection, which is simply what a person does when they don’t wan’t to associate their own thoughts with themselves. For example, if a man has an innocent thought which has to do with a homosexual act yet they don’t believe themselves to be homosexual (and 90% of the time they aren’t) they may project that thought from themselves to an external source. “Someone is thinking about gay sex but it can’t possibly be me so it must be you!”
This is a very common occurrence and it is obvious that you are projecting all of your own sick thoughts onto innocent people, like Bill Murray. In a pre-recorded film the actor is not looking at the audience at all, let alone thinking anything about them as they are random strangers whom the actor has never met and probably never will meet so if you feel like Bill Murray or any other actor portraying a fictional character in a film is actually looking at you then you are confusing fiction with reality, you are projecting your thoughts and feelings onto a person who can’t possibly be having those thoughts or feelings, since you are looking at a series of photographs taken months or years before you viewed them.
I hope you will seek professional help at some point so that you don’t further damage your cognitive and perceptive abilities and hurt someone else or yourself.
P.S. If you research history you will find that early christians stole their entire religion from the Egyptians, who stole it from someone else before that and so on. The story of Jesus predates christianity by thousands of years, the first Easter even took place in 2000B.C. so it is obviously not the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.

“Claire it saddens me that a young teen girl like yourself would take such refuge in a pack of seething anonymous liberals.”
I was commenting on this site long before many of these people were. And they’re nice, intelligent people, so stop throwing the word “liberal” around like it’s an insult. I happen to be a liberal, and have been for years.
“I don’t think this site is appropriate for children and I worry the influence adult matters can have on a fragile mind.”
How many times do I have to say it? I’m NOT a child. I’ll be 20 in two months. And I don’t have a “fragile” mind at all.
“The premise (that means idea)”
Oh, so now you think I’m stupid, huh? I believe in learned the word “premise” in fourth grade or so.
“is to warn off parents from precisely this sort of thing happening, from young people getting too close with some older man they do not know and getting influenced by his poor life decisions.”

Mr. Stephenson,
Are you for real or is Christwire a satire website?
If it is satirical, that’s a good article, and I mean none of what is below, If not, take the following to heart…
I’d love to have some of that acid you are eating and crack you are smoking, because that article is so far off base. You clearly have no business writing such slanderous bullshit as you have here about anyone. It sounds like you are more of a children’s party clown than any sort of legitimate journalist/blogger/reporter.
If you truly consider yourself a good person and a good Christian you could not possibly believe it is right to say such things about a person whom you do not know personally and who you have no factual evidence that he has done any of those things you say of him. Therefore you are a lying hypocrite and not someone who any Christian should look up to or listen to.
Have a great day you marvelous Sinner.

Ronald Reagan was probably one of the greatest American political philosophers of the 20th century. He kept the Soviets from destroying us, then brought down the Berlin Wall, he ended the Cold War, he cut taxes for millions of Americans and he inspired us to love America again after the scandals of the 70s. You might be too young to remember that time but the USA was really beaten down and disrespectful of the politcal process back then. It is essential that we stay involved and express our faith via the political system or else America fails. Here are some wondrous words I shall leave you with:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” –President Ronald Reagan

If this is truly a satire site, and I hope to God it is (sure looks like it, but…) I have to say as a former journalist and a Christian (not to mention, a human being with at least some sense of decency and morality) I’m ashamed of you.
If this is NOT a satire site, then as a former journalist and a Christian (and still a human being with at least some sense of decency and morality) then I’m tremendously ashamed of you.
This rubbish gives such a rotten name to Christ that it’s astounding. If it’s meant to be funny, all it does is perpetuate ridiculous stereotypes about followers of Jesus. If it’s meant to be serious, it is much more serious than that.
There’s also the fact that your descriptions of Mr. Murray’s perceived presence around children is deeply disturbing… to think that these came from your mind makes me question your integrity and definitely gives credence to the projection theory.
If you’re truly serious, Mr. Billings, here are a few tips:
-Poisonous words win no hearts to Christ. I’d advise you to examine your heart before writing anything further.
-Provide your credentials when they are requested. Any serious reporter is willing to do so, and is generally required to present their identification as such.
-Spell check is your friend. Also, there is no such word as irregardless, as any novice lover of the English language ought to know.
-Yellow journalism is NOT journalism. This “article” is not journalism. This is hateful, self-defeating, incomprehensible tripe.
-Ghostbusters is awesome.
-Lost in Translation is awesome.
-This union between faith and capitalism of which you speak is utter bollocks. Faith and capitalism have no place together. Any Christian ought to recognize this – um, Jesus turning the moneychangers out of the Temple ring a bell?
I realize this is probably satire. Maybe to you it isn’t. Maybe some of the commentators on this here article have hit the nail on the head, and you’re the one contributor to this (and I use the term so loosely you could wrap it around the world several times) “journalistic endeavour” (cripes, it hurt to write that) who believes this is all real. I’m not sure I can take that chance. I think I have to go back to the earlier Billy Madison quote and say, “I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

“Despite the fact that we are stampeding through this century with new technologies that isolate and consume us, old Hollywood is still a major player with( <— Grammar Fail) it comes to the battle for our souls."
"We need adults who act like adults: grandfathers who impart patriotism on their offspring, dedicated employees who keep the engines of our economy greased irregardless( <— Another Grammar Fail) of their aging, noble gentlemen who are humble before their great God."
WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN-
I have to say, aside from those two grammatical blunders of little consequence, it's pretty bad when you take pot-shots at an aged actor who has done nothing but play roles and live his life the way he wants to.
When he breaks the law, he gets punished, just like you or I would. If you have a problem with his lifestyle, so be it. You don't have to live the way he does though, no one's forcing you to do so, and the things you say aren't going to stop him from living the way he wants, nor will they stop any kids who want to follow in his footsteps. And you know the funny thing?
You have no right to try to force those kids to do otherwise.
It's not your call, and you can't make decisions for those people. You can make arguments to convince them otherwise, but you can't make them not want to be like Bill Murray.
I think that it's really sad, though, that just because there are people you disagree with, you deem it necessary that the whole of America should remember the 1980's and revert back to Reaganomics, whilst meanwhile stomping out all traces of liberalism.
Word to the wise, old man.
There are people who disagree with your worldview.
A LOT of people.
Just because you want it that way doesn't give you the right to demand it. You want to spread Reagan-style republicanism? Start showing people why it was a good thing with facts and statistics. Give Democrats a reason to want to become Republicans.

One of the most essential founders of our nation wrote this:
“Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” –Thomas Jefferson

Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law. – Thomas Jefferson
In the middle ages of Christianity opposition to the State opinions was hushed. The consequence was, Christianity became loaded with all the Romish follies. – Thomas Jefferson
Why have Christians been distinguished above all people who have ever lived, for persecutions? Is it because it is the genius of their religion? No, it’s genius is the reverse. It is the refusing toleration to those of a different opinion which has produced all the bustles and wars on account of religion. – Thomas Jefferson
If you knew anything about Thomas Jefferson, you would know that, while a strong Christian man, even he realized Christianity was a corrupt and flawed organization. So using Thomas Jefferson to support your crack-pot ideas, probably isn’t wise.

Don’t let this guy turn you off, he doesn’t represent us all (I’ve already done my share of scolding, too).

This guy’s either one of two things: He’s either a kook, or a satirist who’s out to make Christians look like kooks. In either case, God is certainly misrepresented in his article I hope the author read about Eliphaz in the book of Job. Job was in deep dispair that lead him toward anger at God. He needed a friend, and someone who would talk to him about the true nature of God. Instead of offering mercy to him, Eliphaz (and two other friends) chastized Job and told him that all of this stuff that happened to him was because he must of sinned in some way. God takes it very seriously when people misrepresent His character. The events concerning Job happened before Christ (when animals were still being sacrificed), and God was so angry about it then, he made Eliphaz (and two other “friends”) ask Job to make a sacrifice for his attonement (wouldn’t let him do it himself). I am quite sure, that God is not happy with this article. Look at what it’s created. You can tell a tree, by the fruit it bears.

If you described me or anyone I know in the way you’ve written about Bill Murray, I would have you in court so fast your head would spin.
It’s immoral and offensive to describe anyone the way you have with zero evidence. In the article you implied that Murray is –
*a pedophile – “We do not need perverts like Bill Murray lusting after our beautiful children”
*a rapist – “society’s addiction to half-hearted hedonism (i.e. those too drunk to rape”, “His mischievous grin suggests rape and sex”
*a serial killer – “it’s not hard to draw similarities to the lives of Jeffrey Dahlmer or John Wayne Gacy.”
You even call him an impending sign of the apocolypse!
Notwithstanding your outrageous and criminal activities in making these claims, you do seem to have some trouble in seperating fact from fiction. Firstly, you do seem to be attributing the traits of some of his characters to the man himself. Don’t forget he is an actor, it’s his job to portray different personalities on screen, just as your beloved Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston did. More egregious than that however is your stating urban legend as fact. Urban legends are just that, they are fiction. The article you linked to to support your urban legend theory does not even mention Bill Murray. Can you please explain how you came to link the two?
I would like to suggest to the writer of this article that it might be better if you do not contradict yourself mid article, otherwise you may lose the shreds of your credibility. What do I mean? You claim that there are no fansites on the internet for Bill Murray. This is absolutely true, I googled him (ooh that sounds dirty), and there are zero fansites. You say this is because his fans are too lazy – I think a more likely reason for this is that you are spreading a wildy unsubstantiated load of claptrap about a man who clearly does not have the influence of those aged 15-35 like you say.
You have every right to dislike the man, I’m not a major fan either, but to flagrantly vilify the man by throwing around such defaming statements is purely irresponsible journalism.

Do you even function properly in daily life? Are you so thick headed you have trouble following logic as to why cereal is best eaten with milk? Do you understand how anything works? You sure as hell don’t understand your Bible, so it’s not surprising.

Also now, commenting on the author’s comments, he says everything in this article has been thoroughly researched and verified. Bullshit. The bulk of this article is subjective as all hell. Just about the only truth in here was the stating of the movies Bill has been in. The rest is the author’s personal opinion. And I would also like to see some credentials. No doubt god given.
“Hey Stephenson, what’s going on?”
“Not too much God, what about you?”
“Oh, you know, being a fucking idiot. But I have to talk to you. I need you to write internet articles about movies stars and tell them about how they are ruining America, which is obviously my favorite country, because it was founded for me!”
“No prob G. I’ll have to get right on that. Lately I’ve been feeling pretty hateful and have this thing for Bill Murray. He makes my dick hard and I hate it because I refuse to admit that I am a raging homosexual.”
“That’s all fine. You’re free to hate all you want as long as you’re not hating Christianity and not admitting to being homosexual.”
“Good shit G. Good shit.”
And then Ol stephie here woke up out of his Bill Murray induced fap coma and proceeded to hate everything that he doesn’t agree to with a passion.

I’m not even sure what the point of this was supposed to be … so, Bill Murray is a slacker, and you think that’s bad. Whatever. But how the HELL did you leap from that to
‘ “I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I
heard one of the seven living creatures say in a voice like thunder,
‘Come!’ I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider
held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror
bent on Conquest.” –Revelation 6:1-2. ‘

Do you ever read your own completed articles, and think “It is amazing how utterly full of shit I am?”. The world does not need another narcissistic smear journalist. Especially not one with a Christ complex. I am not a hipster, nor am I an athiest,a hedonist, or any of the other things ending with “IST” that you seem to despise, and yet I still can help thinking that you are the one who is lost. People make awful choices all by the selves everyday, and Bill Murray, Eminem, Geraldo, Britney Spears, and all the rest of the publicized slightly scummy people of the word HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

I know plenty of liberals with blue collar jobs, myself included. Don’t tell people what they think or do when you haven’t even listened to their side of the story, I think they would know better than you. Yes, Bill’s characters can be dark and he himself maybe isn’t the best role model. I don’t think anyone wants to be like the man in Lost in Translation, that is a very sad movie. Many dark characters in movies are meant to show you what you don’t want to be. I think of Hunter S. Thompson who is one the most self loathing writers I know of, granted many copied him but it is now accepted in the freak community and even by Hunter’s own pen that he was not someone you want to be. People like Bill and Hunter take our freedoms to the extreme and come back to show us the heartache and pain that can come with that. Many people across the world wish they could have the opportunity to realize truths of our world by their own hands, instead they are force fed morality without truly knowing what it means. Thank these men for showing us what darkness this world can bring and how to avoid such problems.

reading things like this make me sad to be a christian. i’m not going to argue that hollywood screws around with stuff and that people should not be worshipped and all that, but there’s no reason to go and write an article like this. Bill Murray is a human being. Regardless of what he does or what his personality is, he is still one of us and to write something this huge only goes to prove that your mind has been corrupted by that same demon you claim to be fighting. It doesn’t matter what he does, who he is, if he’s homosexual, a tranny, a horseman of the apocalypse or the next Hitler, he does not deserve, no, NO ONE deserves to be talked about like this. Where is the all encompassing love that you’re suppose to be showing to all of human kind? i don’t see it anywhere.
this is the first article of yours that i’ve read and it will likely be the last, so let me get to my point here Steve: by spewing out all of this farce you call an important message to the people, you are in fact turning more people away from Christianity by saying hurtful things and just being plain old ignorant and stupid. none of what you said will convert anyone or open anyone’s eyes and if i weren’t already saved i’d be turned off completely because of this.

for starters, putting parts of a sentence in all caps doesn’t imply “screeching,” it shows i want your attention focused on those certain parts, which it seems like you know, but at the same time you’re taking it to an extreme where it doesn’t need to be.
no, i don’t listen to or study the works of all of those people. while i may have grown up a Christian and believe in it, i have yet to buckle down and really hardcore study anything, which is why i don’t quote scriptures or say things like “so and so says this” etc. i am a bit conceited, it’s true, i know my faults, and it’s more than likely not my place to go arguing about something like this, but it eats me up inside to see this constantly happening. too many people go around spouting out things like what you’re saying and i can’t stand it anymore. you’re like those people in Texas with the “God hates Fags” signs.
i too used to go around telling people (when i was younger) that they were going to burn in hell if they didn’t believe. since then, i’ve mellowed out a ton and will no longer go around saying that for the sheer fact that i don’t rightly know if they’re going to burn in hell, as well as the fact that flat out saying that to someone could completely turn them away from God entirely, and it would be my fault for them being in hell. granted, God can always change that, but i have no way of knowing what will happen with that person.
when it comes to that “hollywood glitz” you mentioned, i have no interest in anything involving hollywood aside from obtaining a good career. i respect Bill Murray as an actor and as a fellow human being, so far beit from me to say anything bad about a person i know nothing about.
i’m not singling you out, my words go out to anyone standing on a street corner with a megaphone, anyone who writes a paper like this under Jesus’ name, to anyone who goes up to someone and shouts “YOU WILL BURN IN HELL IF YOU DO NOT REPENT!!!”
i’m not saying Bill Murray is an idol, but i refuse to say he’s the devil incarnate, and to persecute him like you have is shameful to not only you, but to the entirety of Christianity. no, i’m not actually against you, what i’m saying is your message is coming off incorrectly and you’re not considering how others are going to think about this. to come off snobby and arrogant like you have in this article will only turn people away. all of the spam and trolls you’re getting proves it. unless, of course, you’re doing this for website views, in which case stay the course.

If’s zealots and fanatics like you that are responsible for the greater part of the discrimination and narrowmindeness of the modern era. Faith is one thing, but fanaticism is another. Your values are not the issue, it’s the way in which you let them affect your life and guide your interactions with other human beings. You are a few degrees short of a fanatical muslim jihadi. Instead of bombs, you used charged and spirituality-laden opinions disguised as facts. You are making categorical statements by applying metaphysical concepts. This is totally irrational. I presume, though I am not totally certain, that you are basing a lot of your opinions and beliefs on a strict reading of scripture. WHat you and many hard nosed christians, catholics as well, are doing is applying a series of books written thousands of years ago by people responding to socio political dillemas of that age to modern times where it has little to no applicability. Even if it does, you are applying it in the most grossly distorted fasihon and I believe have truly perverted whatever Jesus’s true message was. Whatever he may have said, we will never know because of fanatics like you. Now leave Bill Murray alone, he is responsible for far more happiness and understanding than you are.

A few things:
1) ‘Irregardless is not a word’
2) I would totally see the movie ‘Ghostbussers’. Is it about a disenchanted transit worker who learns to believe again through the intervention of a deceased bus jockey?
3)No, wait, I would rather see a movie about a musty van of laziness.
4)There is nothing else in this post worth responding to…nothing close to what any rational person would consider a reasonable, well-constructed argument.

Irregardless is a perfectly acceptable word today.
Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less
Pronunciation: \ˌir-i-ˈgärd-ləs\
Function: adverb
Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless
Date: circa 1912
nonstandard : regardless
usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose.
So, I’m a rebel, what can I say? I like to use big words that most of you poorly educated fools can’t understand. That’s what it takes to be a journalist and a prose stylist.

you sir are no journalist. You are a blogger, and not a very good one at that. Just because you say “I’m a journalist, I’m a journalist, I’m a journalist” over and over does not actually make you a journalist. You know that right? You have the right to say whatever you like on the internet but that doesnt make it true. I think it is very misleading of you to tell people you are something that you arent.

Are you mentally stable Mr. Billings? That was the most the most ridiculous rant about nothing I have ever read. Is this on purpose, so that people will respond to your asinine article? I kept thinking, “this is very Limbaughish” as your diatribe went on. And the claim that Hollywood never has not put out anything with good Christian values is false. You ever hear about or see a movie called “The Blindside?”
I must say that it is people like you. The ones with the morally superior mentality, the stone throwers, and the my holy shit doesn’t smell, you are the ones that make non-christians say “what a bunch of assholes!! I don’t want anything to do with that faith.” And you know what, I would have to agree with them.

Billings, while it really seems as if it is too late for you to truly understand how to use your brain properly, all hope may not be lost. I suggest you take a healthy dose of psilocybin, LSD or DMT. This should clear out your third eye and help remove your head from your anus to the extent that you want it to be removed (you may be too stubborn however). If God does exist, the path to her is not through religion, and this should be painfully obvious by now… Religion has failed all of us A MILLION TIMES OVER, which is why we all need to formulate a new truth from within based off of our direct experience of Godhead. This will not happen through the application of misguided, sloppily put together man-made ideologies (modern Fundamentalist Christianity).
I too believe that there is more to life than the material world, but we are only able to access that reality once we dissolve the boundaries in our heads that we have inherited from profoundly misguided generations. There is no path to this profoundly strange, alien and elusive truth other than through our own minds. Your incoherent, muddled and hate-filled rant indicates that you have a profoundly detached relationship with your own mind. Psychedelics will reawaken your mind and make you realize that what you think is just how you were taught and raised, and that doesn’t make it real in any way. It may be traumatic and scary to let go of the form you’ve been accustomed to living within, but if you truly want to taste ultimate reality, this is the only way.
Evolution is at odds with religion. Evolution and life constantly change and produce new phenomena. Religion, however, is fixed and dead; it is anti-life and anti-evolution. Religion is not any sort of authoritative source on ultimate reality, only your direct experience is. The universe is stranger than the bible supposes and is stranger than our minds are capable of imagining. This is why your “God” put Ayahuasca, Psyilocibin and many other plants here. They are for people like you. If we really are to avoid Armageddon, which you seem so sure is around the corner, it will be through the transcendence of our present state of consciousness and of our inherited history. Man made ideologies and thinking in religious absolutes must be left behind. The way forward is through our direct experience, not through a middleman like a priest, preacher or christian God (Zeus). You have the divine light inside your head, but your religion teaches you to fear it, and then you end up making a fool of yourself in front of the whole world. And while it may be easy to tell yourself that you’ve done us all a grand service by pointing out the demonic nature of someone who devoted their whole life to comedy, you really have just made it more abundantly clear that fundamentalism is the worst cancer that currently exists in this world, and it impedes ALL evolution as long as it as a majority influence.

I could repeat what you’ve already heard one thousand times. As an American, you are exercising the same rights as the rest of us, as well as Bill Murray. I don’t deny that I viciously disagree with your beliefs, and I became sick with what I read so much, that I couldn’t finish, choosing only to gloss over it bits at a time.
There are many journalists like yourself out there who have a severe messiah-complex that they’re entirely unaware of. I believe if you were to gloss over the Ten Commandments, you’d find yourself guilty of the same crimes in varying degrees as Bill Murray.
I personally am not a Christian, I am closer to agnostic with what I refer to as a healthy collection of practices from various faiths across the Earth. I am however dating a devout Christian girl who is very sweet and true to her roots. She attends church every Sunday (or as close to as possible), helps out during the service in any way she can and donates time when she can spare it to help out. I know for a fact that outside of the schpeel you put in there about Tom Cruise and Scientology (which I believe you are correct about, and had a nice chuckle at it in good humor), that religion in any form is not bad or stupid, though many people often drown in it and find themselves cornered because they believe they find they are messiah-esque, in doing the work of Jesus or Muhommad or whichever the figure of whichever religion they should find themselves a part of. All in all: I don’t believe you’re wrong because of your practice, but I do believe you are mislead because you are so immersed.
What I ask of you in regards to this article is if you have considered the following:
Did you make sure before you wrote this that you did not make wrongful use of the name of your Lord your God? I noticed you may have, as I believe a ROUGH interpretation of that commandment is that you should not judge others or use religion as an excuse to attack others or accuse them, as to God and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ all is holy, even if they are not the same as you. Isn’t that why Jesus died on the cross, so that our sins could be forgiven?
Are you certain that you have not born false witness of your neighbor? Again, it seems that you may have, as a lot of your references fall back onto the bible rather than a personal relationship with Bill Murray, which had you had one with him you would have found yourself in a position to make some of the claims you have. You are in essence, misrepresenting truths in relation to others, using only what you have seen on the television, read in books and magazines, or heard on an audio broadcast.
Most importantly, are you sure you are following the first commandment? I’m sure you know it by heart, but I believe pasting it here for you and others to see may be of value to us all:
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.”
More often than not, I’ve found that when one or two or more groups of people bands together against the others, and claims to be trying to save them, they generally do more damnation than saving (and I use that as a metaphor for damage to the physical world and social situations). Passing blame onto any and everyone is a waste of time and energy. We should accept responsibility for our own actions as well as help to guide (not scold and accuse and condemn) others in making or amending their own.
While I am not a Christian, I to some degree or another follow all ten commandments, though it is not always the entirety of one. An example I can offer is the first commandment. While I do not worship Jesus Christ and our Lord God, I do not worship others, or myself (though I confess to having a MASSIVE ego). In my day to day life, I do the best I can to use those commandments, in addition to beliefs and guidelines of other faiths to live a happy, healthy, peaceful, and content life. If I feel I am wronged by someone in my life, I do my best not to act without knowing if I truly have been, so as to make sure I am not bearing false witness against my neighbor, or hating someone for the wrong reason. We are all good people in the end, but seeing it in others if often quite difficult, and I struggle from time to time trying to find the goodness in others.
Pointing a finger will always put three more pointing back, and they will always be OUR three fingers pointing back.

I do believe you’re afraid, as well. Not a coward, but afraid. I’ve taken some more time now that I have the stomach to do so to read various comments, and any that you have responded to. A noticable pattern I’ve witnessed is that you have selected to not answer any comments in which you have been legitimately proven in the wrong by your own Christian beliefs (as opposed to by the beliefs of people who think that just because they think Christians are stupid or crazy or whatever the trending accusation of the moment is).
If you cannot own up to the fact that even by your own personal beliefs and standards you are guilty of some very serious rulebreaking, then I can’t imagine another way to view you through this brief encounter I’ve had with your work other than blind. As I’ve noticed you use this term several times -and one I’ve heard in church with my girlfriend and her family- you are throwing not others, but yourself at the lions, which is betrayal to your Lord, and just plain crazy. Suicide is an unforgivable sin, if I’m not mistaken. Taking your own life leaves no time for repentance, and thus you head straight to hell. In that respect, you’ve commited a psychological suicide.
I honestly want to meet you. I want to see who you really are when you’re not at a computer writing these stories. I don’t want to see the journalist who collects bottles and entertains children. I want to see the man whose around when he’s not doing those things. I know you’re not the kind of person that limits himself to so few activities. I want to meet you, because there’s a girl named Claire up here who has given me the grounds I need to believe that she’s right in believing you’re not a journalist, but a blogger. I think she’s right. So long as you can’t prove it, anyways. If you were to bring up the credentials and proof, then I would withdraw this statement and ask your pardon for my impotence.
I want to meet you. But I know I won’t get that chance. You’ll skim over this comment because you’re afraid. And now that you’ve seen this, so as not to dignify me, you still won’t reply. There will be no effort on your part to help me see what you are seeing.
And me? I’m not going to make that effort, either. Not because I’m lazy and baked like so many of the others in my demographic that you would put me in. I am by no means lazy. I’ve spent many of my waking hours at my dead-end job of customer service at a small independant business in my city, doing my best to make sure that no customer leaves unhappy or unsatisfied. I won’t make that effort because writing this to you right now is giving you more than you deserve at the moment. A lot of people like to dignify you, and I’m one of the fools who got ringed into doing it, too. I may have a high school diploma and I may be on my way to beginning college so that I can leave my blue-collar job for a white-collar one and support a family with the girl I hope to marry, but I do not and never will claim to be educated, because education as I’m sure you know doesn’t come from schooling, but life experience. And I don’t have life experience. I hope you know that.
I’ll bet you are a good person. But I can feel you’re misguided, and longing. I don’t know what you’re longing for, but it’s not what you claim to be after, and you might think that as well, but you’ll never tell me or anyone else. If you did, you know it would demonstrate weakness in any way to us, you think it’ll be admitting defeat not just to us, but your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Even Jesus would be okay with that, though; not because I’m claiming he would hate you, as I know that is not the case; but because he knows we are all flawed and we all need help sometimes, even if it’s from others outside of him. Giving your white flag here would destroy what very little credibility I’ve noted you to have so far.
On a personal level, we are the true masters of ourselves, and we truly know what’s best for ourselves as indivduals, even if the projected image is skewed and dangerous in appearance. Potheads and upstanding citizens like yourself all know what’s best for themselves, but they may not know that they know yet, or they may think they know but are mistaking it for something else.
To accept help from others is not forfeiting God or Jesus, or failing them. It’s entirely possible to have both side at their fullest. I wish there were more people out there who knew that.
Again, I do not claim you’re a coward, but I do know you’re afraid, and I know that you’re lost.
Please excuse my replying to my own comment. I hope it does not appear vain, but if you do see this, I want you to have seen the one before, too. Like I said, I have an ego.

This article was created by a Satirist who aimed to slander Christianity, McKenney. Don’t fall for it (I did initially). Even if it were a real article, that’s not how we are and if any are like that, well they don’t read their Bible. Jesus Christ showed scribes and pharisees that, when he spoke to women (which no respectable man would have done in that day), forgave an adultress, touched a leper, healed someone on the sabath, ate with tax collectors (who were considered to be theives), and gave the first news of his birth to shepherds (who were considered to be society’s most filthy and unclean). It’s sinners who Jesus reached out to. Remember the parable of the prodigal son? His father ran to him. Back then, it was unthinkable for a grown man to be seen running in public. If there are Christains out there throwing stones, I’d like a chance to correct them myself.

This is one of the most interesting, thought-provoking and challenging articles I’ve read in a long time. I have always enjoyed Murray’s portrayals, and he never fails to make me laugh. But I like your exploration of *why* we find him appealing, and what spirit is represented in his roles. Will a Bill Murray character ever lead a revolution? No. But he represents the sane individual coping with an insane world, not by rising up, but by smiling inwardly and forging on, with, yes, a mixture of apathy and stubborn resolve. I would remind you that in “Lost in Translation,” he does not sleep with the young woman — the character is quite poignant and imperfect and real — and, I would say, honorable. As far as the actor is concerned, I would not assume that you can know him through media portrayals. (As Steve Martin has observed, “Celebrity is a collection of misconceptions about someone.”) There’s more to say here. But I think you’ve started a radical discussion and I’m grateful for it.

Sarah, as I wrote on John’s website he is spreading false information about me. I appreciate your concern and implore you to understand that Christianity is a big tent in America. That said, I would ask you to take a closer look at my note to John and notice that we are indeed all in the same boat together. I have no idea why you have singled me out for your campaign. I am just a humble who, like so many other Christian-American patriots wants to see this best this country has to offer.
Again, here is the question for you: “And to all those who are calling me out, trying to spread their slander and calling me an exception to modern Christian-American patriotism, let me ask you this: Is what I’m doing any different than say Rev. Robertson or Rev. Falwell? Do you not listen to Bill Donohue of the Catholic League or James Hartline and his ministry? What I write is no different than them. What about Dr. James Dobson and Focus on the Family or Tony Perkins and the American Family Council? We are all together, united fighting the same fight for America’s souls. Are you with us or against us? Please get down off that high horse. You have to realize the majority of Christians follow the teachings of the great men I mentioned above, that their leadership is the last defense from the surge of immorality overtaking this country. Are you against us or with us? I guess your answer is self-evident.”
No one really can answer me this. They attack me simply because I have attacked Hollywood and that’s practically sacred in America. But do you not understand we are all part of the same movement to restore the faith in America?

This article is funny, because I always thought that Pat Robertson was the enemy. I mean, Pat Robertson does claim to represent God out of one side of his mouth, and then advocates murder and hate out of the other. I guess consistency and making sense have never been strong points for religion, have they?

There is nothing “Christ-Like” about today’s Christians. In order to be a Christian, you’re supposed to be like Jesus, you’re supposed to do as he did. Simple things like be kind and help people, be thankful and honest. WWJD? Seriously, think about it. WWJD if he wrote blogs.. Would he ridicule and ask everyone to boycott Bill Murray? I think if Jesus was alive today he wouldn’t be a Christian, he would try to help Christians because they are fucked up, some of the worst people on the planet. Many of the worst atrocities that have occurred in the past 2000 years are due to Christians. We should boycott Christians.. Our government isn’t fucked because of liberals and black presidents.. It’s fucked because of Christians.

Hey Billings remember this?
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment that you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, “Let me take the speck out of your eye,” when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. “

Do you even understand St. Matthew? The passage you mention implores us to be righteous in our lives, this is true. We must police our own morality. But what happens when that fails, when the criminals and rapists run free through society, are we not to judge them?
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is a devout Christian. His wife is a leading pro-life activist. Do you think in his day job, he does not make judgements, that in essence he “Judges not”? Of course he does. Don’t be absurd and please try to understand a little more about Christianity before barging onto a Evangelical website with your ignorance.

Do you not understand there is a difference between the LAWS and sins? He judges on laws, many broken laws are also considered sins, but he is not judging them based on sin, only on LAW! Since you are not judging Bill Murray on broken laws, know him personally enough to even ask him what he is about, you are only making assumptions on his character and ultimate goals. Therefore, you are judging him without even truly knowing him, and that’s a big no-no in God’s eyes last time I checked.
Open your eyes, every time someone on here has given you a clear rebuttal to your arguments it goes ignored, yet you have time to comment on others. Which tells me that you really aren’t looking for a calm, intellectual debate, as you have previously stated, because when you are challenged, you slink away, an act of a coward if you ask me. You try and challenge people, then when they rise, you disappear. Pretty much proves you really have no clue what you are talking about.

Of all the people or entities you’ve singled out for destroying America’s youth you pick Bill Murray. hmmm. I can think of several things that are destroying America’s youth alot more besides this irrelevant hollywood actor . First, some of the moral degradation emerging in this country comes from mind numbing reality shows and just television in general. Projecting and infecting our minds with what ‘our’ reality should be like. These are paid non celebs that our youth see and then mimic in their own real life. I don’t think Bill Murray has been on any of these reality tv shows. Second, while I’m still on the media kick I’ll go ahead and attack mainstream music. It sounds like garbage, all auto tuned out, and delivering the message of debauchery, sexist lyrics and perhaps a bit of violence and drug use. Third, you’re going to love this (if you want to see it) police corruption! why? They’re tied in with the drug trade…the drugs are going straight to the kids. I’m talking about the bad addictive ones too. Oh yeah, the music thing I was talking about…alot of the lyrics are about drugs, soooo…kids hear the music ‘sippin on some sizzurp’…get influenced by this and say ‘hey that’s cool i like the beat but what’s this syrup i keep hearing about?’ !BAM! codean syrup and sprite down the hatch, the music was the catalyst, the cops are tied in with it, and big pharma is happy cuz they just made another 20 billion. Which brings me to my next degradation of America’s youth and just America in general: corporations, they run everything. They’re in control. Not the president. Not Bill Murray. Not God or money, which is pretty interchangable these days if I do say so myself. Corporations and their greed HAVE been controlling everything that you see, hear, taste, smell and see for decades, only now the stranglehold is more evident than ever. I won’t be surprised when a corporation trademarks jesus and gets away with it.
Anyway, I said several but those are just a few. I got sick of writing plus I doubt you’ll even read or agree with any of this. I could raise several other good points like writers and directors create the movies that Bill Murray star in, so why not attack them? Why not attack Warner Bros. or Paramount for putting out these movies?
I’ll end this by quoting one of my favorite activists, Chuck D “Burn Hollywood Burn”….but leave Bill Murray alone…I mean c’mon, he’s a genius!

The article on Bill Murray and on “the M word” are both brilliant. So brilliant that two of my children (both politically active, college honors graduates) were ranting and screaming in rage. It took the political liberal but evangelical Christian parent to spot the truth – by actually checking the web site for all its content. I would be interested to know how many of the people posting supporting comments are actually Christians and not merely in on the joke.
The problem with many so called conservative Christians today is that they are wrapped in the belief that aggressive social activism is the primary way to influence the culture – instead of through the preaching of the Gospel. None will admit this of course – even radical Randall Terry during his days as a protestant claimed to have converted a few souls to the cause of Christ. This form of non Gospel focused activism became increasingly common with the rise of televangelism and the cultural emergence of people such as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and many, many others we all know and love. Conservative Christians have read influential books such as, the Catholic writer Richard Neuhaus, “The Naked Public Square” – or more probable – had the book quoted to them from the protestant pulpit.
C.S. Lewis in his extraordinary Screwtape Letters deals with ways to sidetrack a Christian – ways to get our minds off of Christ and on to something even more important.
“Let him begin by treating the Patriotism or the Pacifism as a part of his religion. Then let him, under the influence of partisan spirit, come to regard it as the most important part. Then quietly and gradually nurse him on to the stage at which the religion becomes merely part of the “cause”, in which Christianity is valued chiefly because of the excellent arguments it can produce in favour of the British war-effort or of Pacifism. “ You can substitute “liberal” and “conservative” into this quote and realize the same formula in today’s terms.
To any Christian reading this I recommend reading Acts 19 which details Paul’s ministry in Ephesus – a city more like our world then arguably any other ancient city. The Ephesus Paul visited was consumed by cult practices, drugs and the objectivization of women through pornography. Paul’s method of battling the moral chaos? To preach Christ – to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to minister to the needs of the people. That’s how God wants us to fight our battles – by lifting up Christ and proclaiming the Good News. What happened in Ephesus? Vast numbers of magic scrolls were burned, the sale of silver figurines of the Goddess Diana were drastically reduced – so much so that the craftsmen who made them rioted. Later (Acts 20) Paul returned to Ephesus and in his final message to the new believers declared, “Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.” (Acts 20:30-31) One wonders how Christians today could be drawn away from preaching a true Gospel – a true social activism.
To any Christian reading this I also recommend reading the entire book of Jonah – not just the fun parts about the whale – but the, “rest of the story”. About the men of Nineveh, Jesus declared – “The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.” (Luke 11:32 NKJV) Nineveh – called the blood city – perhaps more perverse then Ephesus was never-the-less transformed in a single moment at the simple preaching of a sack clothed, bedraggled man warning of judgment. He didn’t chain himself to the Sacrificial font, he didn’t endorse the Assyrian Tea Party candidates – he preached judgment to come. The question remains: How much blood was shed the day after Jonah preached? How many abortions would occur the day after a modern revival of the kind which swept Nineveh?
The problem with many self proclaimed conservative Christians is that they lack the very thing they claim to stand on – faith. They do not believe that their values can be defended by any other means then to spiritually riot. They witnessed the “success” of liberal activism in the 60’s and chose to adopt the methods of the left rather then put on the Full Armor of God.
To the author – you and your compatriots are obviously having a lot of fun at the expense of both the thin skinned left and the even more thin skinned right. Reading the web sites wishy-washy “mission” statement reveals much – you guys need to crack the books more at Glenn Beck U.
It is doubtful you could be dissuaded from your, “mission” but if you allow others to comment freely – as you clearly have – there is perhaps some hope for true redemption.

Sadly, CS Lewis is not appropriate in my book. He advocated for certain aspects of Christianity which would be considered New Age today. He believed in a universalism of spirituality, ie. that our Christian God was somehow equivalent to the so-called “gods” in the grab bag of spiritualisms across the planet. He, like Thomas Merton, also presented a subtle but clearly present idea of a Christianity mixed with modern science, notably evolution, as if we are evolving as a species towards a higher grace. Yes, we may be moving to His Grace, but Lewis and others (like Chardin) described it like Darwinian “evolution” in his children’s books and serious works. I am grateful for your kind words and I realize many skeptics have found faith through the magical writing of CS Lewis, but I cannot in good conscience condone this man.

Stephenson,
I find you to be quite appauling and a disgrace to not only writers, but the human race. As a writer, your grammatical and spelling errors alone that are missed in editing are embarassing. To spell the usage of the word “one” as “won” shows that you spell by sound, which makes me greatly question your education. On your Facebook page you threaten to sue someone for slander against you for your Bill Murray article, which is also utterly ridiculous. You are in a far greater position to be sued by Bill Murray for slandering his name with your unfounded accusations.
In the Golden Girls article you blame the show for bringing homosexuality to Miami and in turn the city lost it’s glory days of Scarface. Really? You think that the murderous actions of a drug dealer are more justified than a homosexual. It sounds like your covering your true feelings towards men by opposing it so vicously. This is quite a common tactic among closet homosexuals.
In the Bill Murray article you compare him to John Wayne Gacy. This strikes me as odd considering that you fit the profile of Mr. Gacy to a T. You are an overweight, below average looking man that dresses as a clown and works as a children’s party entertainer. You also hide your sick thoughts with a religous cover as to not be suspected of anything. You mirror the life of Gacy. How anyone would allow you to be alone with their children and teenagers is beyond belief.
You fit the profile of a truly sick and dangerous human being sir. You’re on the radar now, which isn’t a good thing. I think a little check in to your background may be needed because the threat you pose to the children you work with is a great one. Your sick and perverted mind is polluting all that you come in contact with, and I sincerely hope that is the only way you are harming these children.
Both eyes open,

This is some blog… can’t even get the title of an iconic movie right (Ghostbusters… you know, cause they “bust” ghosts that bother people).
But probably the most miraculous part of all this is the fact that either:
a.) You’ve watched every single one of the movies you cited as evidence of Bill Murray’s egregious persona… in which case, boycotting him now isn’t going to do any good… he’s laughing all the way to the bank and back.
b.) You haven’t seen any of those movies, in which case you’re hurling insults and accusations at a man who needs Jesus just as much as you based on here-say. Waging a campaign of hatred is probably the least effective way to represent your beliefs.
The only thing you got right is that Lost in Translation is a really dumb movie.

Why is it so hard to understand that America perilously on the ledge of moral decline due to extreme forms of social division and decay? Are you comfortable with the advances in radical homosexuality, the sex on our televisions, the porn on our internets, the death of religious Freedom of Speech because it violates ENDA? Are you happy that we have a President who has turned his back on prayer in schools and would rather fund abortion? ABORTION? And even if you’re liberal enough for all that, what about the strength of our military? Now that homosexuals will be let in, many studies have shown our strength will be seriously compromised and that our enemies will be emboldened, particularly the Islamic terrorists. Are you honestly telling me you’re okay with all that?
I do not hate but yes, I do have strong feelings for my God and for my Country. America was built my Christians and has only survived this long because of Christianity.

No, they judge the CRIMES committed in America’s GOVERNMENT. They don’t have any word at all when it comes to religion unless that religion is going around cutting people up. Did you NOT hear about the separation of CHURCH and STATE?
//They are judging America’s society via its laws on a level so sublime that libtards like you can’t grasp your channel clickers fast enough to find South Park when you feel your brain cells being overworked by an honest discussion of the Court’s vision for a beautiful America.//

He’s a Christian too, or did you conveniently leave out that little detail because you believe the only person who’s a Christian is a person who agrees with you 100% no matter what? We’re also exercising OUR right of FREE SPEECH by telling you how much you suck, how much you’re an idiot, and how out of line you are with the words of Christ. You aren’t a Christian, you’re a member of Lucifer’s Army bent on destroying Christians.

Re-posted from my Forum.
______________________________________
Well, I read most of that article, and even though I’m not as big on Bill Murray as I once was, I see no reason for a Christian blog/website to deliberately go out of their way and bash another person so singularly and with such verve.
I think first of all — and I’m speaking from Christian views here — that any website called “Christwire” is irreverent and absurd. They might as well call themselves “Jesus Christ.Com” and have a big image of the Buddy Christ bobblehead.
No, I really think that the biggest issues here are no so much the fact that Bill Murray is a sinner, or has lived an unscrupulous life, but the fact that these people are so in love with the idea of pointing out specks in other’s eyes, while going about with a plank in their own.
I realize that a disassociation of the world is a requirement of every Christian, but it also says to live in the world, and not be OF the world.
By villainizing a graying actor in Hollywood, all that this site is doing is feeding the already common knowledge that Christians are a bunch of do-good, snobs that have no clue about anything outside of their cloister of self-gratifying truths; a truth I might add that seems to have very little in common with the very Bible they claim to read, and use to justify their actions.
It’s clear that humility and meekness are no longer present in a lot of the Christian communities that were instucted to exhort and teach, not find a podium and dress like the rest of the very people they are trying to help.
I think it harms the cause worse when a Christian gossips and pulls the whole, “I thank you God that I am not as bad as this man over here.” than if they just addmitted to failure and flaw. I know of NO SINGLE LIVING CHRISTIAN that has achieved perfection in their life. Not one. It’s a thing that they have to strive for, and live for… but what disgusts me more than anything, is knowing that I have to stand shoulder to shoulder with these people, that would rather pervert the gospel into a twisted truth of what they would rather have it say, and stand for, than what it actually says, and stands for.
I suppose it never occured to them to pray for Bill Murray, that he be blessed, and that God do good things for him…
Sad, that the Bible specifically states that we are to pray for our enemies, and do good for those that spitfully use us, and persecute us… but somewhere I guess in all the manifold translations of the Word, we have re-interpreted that to mean, only the people that we deem less enemies than others.
I have only one word for the creators of that website…
Hypocrites!
_________________________________________________
P.S.
I think you should really take some time to reflect on the ideas you claim to hold dear. The phrase What Would Jesus Do? is clearly lost on you; as you have let the blinders of your faith burn a fast hole in your heart.
Do not strive to wound, but live to serve… for as such are we call by God, to serve others, not to bring ourselves to any glory. Amen.

I must say, the satire on this website is pure genius. The Mr. Billings character presents such an accurate, yet amusingly outlandish portrait of a repressed homosexual who has turned to religious fervor to justify his fear. Yet for all his larger than life, there is also subtlety that forces a reader to analyze the character. For instance, his collection of antique soda bottles could be interpreted as a longing to adorn his home with phallic objects. His career as a “Motivational Children’s Party entertainer” suggest that he may in fact be a pedophile. One may think that the anger he draws from many people who believe him to be a real person means that he has failed in his attempt at satire, yet I say that is only a sign of his success. In today’s world satire often makes itself too blatantly obvious, and yet there are those who bravely walk the tightrope between satire and serious journalism, and one such soul is the writer of the Mr. Billings columns. Mr. Billings forces us to take notice of those who are in fact serious about their insane fervor, and wonder if they too could simply be satirists who are unwilling to break character. Some may call you a troll Stephenson Billings, but I call you an artist!

Thanks for revealing the connection between Satan and Bill Murray. I am going outside right now to burn my Bill Murray action figures. Then I am going to burn seven lambs and sacrifice a virgin just to make sure God is happy. Then, if I have time, I am going to pray for all the people who have died of starvation while you people waste your time reading the Bible and arguing about comedians.

You`ve got to be kidding. This article is based solely on could be`s and seem to`s. This is a ridiculous waste of space and I am sorry I lost 5 minutes of my life reading it. That`s 5 minutes I`ll never get back.

All I got out of that post is that you’re basically saying as Christians we shouldn’t act like Christians, but instead we should judge and disrespect people like Bill Murray. We are all sinners and all children of God. If you really think Bill Murray is so lost and broken, rather than boycott him, why not pray and ask other to do the same.

So you think Christians aren’t allowed to pass judgement? Why don’t you tell that to my friend in DC. His name is Supreme Court Justice Chief John Roberts. I’m sure he’d like to hear your wildly misinformed interpretation of Bible teachings.

You can’t even spell judgment right dipshit. Not only that, but ‘your friend’ judges CRIMES, not SINS. If he sentences a man to jail for being gay, then his ass is grass and he’ll be fired in a heart beat. If he sentences a gay man to jail for some OTHER crime, such as stealing taxpayer’s money or drugs or murder or something, then by law he HAS to ONLY take into account the CRIME that was committed and the CRIME that the man is being judged for, NOT THE SIN because that is NOT how the legal system works; he couldn’t even trial or judge someone for a previous crime they committed unless that specific crime is the one being judged. If Bob goes and murders a man and is tried and sent to jail and does his time, then does something else to get into court again, then NO court can include his murder charge as part of the punishment; and before you say ANYTHING, it can’t be used as part of the PUNISHMENT, a lawyer trick is to dig up the past crimes someone has committed to show the jury and people that this person can’t be trusted and is ‘surely’ guilty of their crime, regardless of whatever the situation is (even if the man is innocent in both cases but was tried guilty in the previous one).
You know nothing about anything, stop trying to act smart. Refute my claim if you want to, but you’ll be wrong no matter what.

If you think the Supreme Court of the United States simply and exclusively deals with crimes, you are profoundly uninformed. The Supreme Court at the best of times is our grand moral guide, it sets precedents, opens the floodgates of change and advance in morality and constantly battles back the forces of negativity and corruption and fascism in America. They are judging America’s society via its laws on a level so sublime that libtards like you can’t grasp your channel clickers fast enough to find South Park when you feel your brain cells being overworked by an honest discussion of the Court’s vision for a beautiful America.

I got news for you. The Bible is a work of fiction and cannot be used as evidence to back up
