Sherri Shepherd: Jesus predates everything
tags:
Stumble ThisArticle from Huffington Post:
"For whatever reason, the ladies on "The View" were discussing ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus this morning. Naturally, talk soon migrated to the topic of religion, and Sherri "I don't know if the world is flat" Shepherd came out to play. More specifically, to spew ignorance and a complete lack of understanding of basic world history! Discussing whether Christians were around during Epicurus' time (Epicurus lived from 341-270 B.C.), Sherri chimed in, "[The Greeks] had Christians 'cause they threw them to the lions."
When Whoopi tried to cautiously navigate her through the timeline of basic world events, saying, "I think this might predate that," Sherri responded, "I don't think anything predated Christians." Joy's attempt to explain the Greek-Roman-Christian chronology was futile, as Sherri insisted, "Jesus came first before them." Sherri's argument was all the more powerful due to her convincing "use your finger to write on the table" trick, but she can't fight the facts. Perhaps if Barbara were on today she would have explained THAT WHOLE B.C. THING (you know, as in, Before Christ)."

seriously, the movie Idiocracy IS a documentary.
And by comedy I mean so funny you don't laugh, you just headdesk repeatedly until you forget that such people exist.
Talk about an unfair advantage. That would be like staging a debate between Stephen W. Hawking and Corky from "Life goes On".
I don't mean to be over the top, but to keep her on that show almost perpetuates a bad stereotype.
they should either throw her off the show or totally ridicule her for such statements.
compare it to a school textbook having an error in it - the company gets fined. she should get punished.
Me too. Weird man.
LOL.
So moronic, is sad.

And God said unto the world 'let there be Jesus so he may atone for the sins of the people I've yet to create, whom have yet to sin, on the world I have not yet made, which I'll get around to, sometime, eventually.' That's how it goes right?
Whoopie is excluded from that of course, I still have no idea why she bothers with it... oh yeah, she wasn't doing anything better.
And lastly, it wouldn't matter if Sherri Shepherd sat down for a debate with someone like Dawkins or, hell, even a high school history teacher, because no matter how well reasoned the argument or how simply spelled out events are, I doubt it would make any difference, all she will hear is "Jesus Loves me yes I know, Jesus Loves me he told me so..." or just say something like, "I am too busy raising my babies to listen to your 'theories', now excuse me, I gots to get my nails done!"
"Which came first: the chicken or the egg?"
"..Jesus.."
