OPRAH WINFREY AND STEPHEN COLBERT TAKE TURNS MOCKING GOD, JESUS AND THE BIBLE ON THE LATE SHOW
Now we know that Stephen Colbert is an atheist in
addition to being a hardcore Hollywood Liberal, so we don't expect much out of
him. I will say, though, that even this surprised me. But Oprah Winfrey talks
constantly about her 'relationship with God', and says she 'absolutely knows
His Voice' when she hears it. Yet, somehow, this woman who claims to be a
Christian, thought it was great sport to mock and trivialize the very God who
created her, on national television, over something like a run for political
office.
GOD WAS PRESENTED, IN ANIMATED FORM, AS A JIM
CARREY-ESQUE HALLUCINATION FLASHING GANG SIGNS AND SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT HE WAS
KNOWN BY SOMEONE SO FAMOUS AS OPRAH WINFREY.
“But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would
none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your
fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh
as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call
upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not
find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the
LORD:” Proverbs 1:25-29 (KJV)
The other night on the Stephen Colbert show, Colbert
discussed with guest Oprah Winfrey the possibility of her running for president
in 2020. Winfrey famously said not too long ago that if she were to run for
president, she would need a ‘sign from God’.
“I went into prayer,” she said of the calls and
speculation around a possible run for president. “I had people – wealthy,
billionaires – calling me up and saying, ‘I can get you a billion dollars. I
can run your campaign’,” she told US magazine People. “That many people saying
something made me think, ‘Am I at least supposed to look at the question?’”
She went on to say: “God, if you think I’m supposed
to run, you gotta tell me, and it has to be so clear that not even I can miss
it. And I haven’t gotten that yet”.
So on The Late Show, Colbert produced ‘God’ as an
animation on the ceiling of the studio, urging Winfrey to run for president.
What followed next was mockery of God, Jesus Christ and the Bible on a level I
can’t say I ever remember seeing before.
God was presented, in animated form, as a Jim
Carrey-esque hallucination flashing gang signs and shocked to know that He was
known by someone so famous as Oprah Winfrey. Colbert’s ‘god’ says things like
“Oh wow, Oprah knows who I am?? I can’t wait to tell Jesus!”.
