The Mouth of Bill Mahr

The American Family Association has informed me by email that the ever-acerbic and endlessly-smirking Bill Mahr has made some deeply disrespectful and distasteful comments about Christianity (again) on this TV show (which, of course, I do not watch). I would like to see Mr. Mahr debate a well-spoken and well-informed Christian philosopher in a formal debate setting concerning his rejection and distaste for Christian beliefs. Then we'll see who gets the last laugh. Yes, I am volunteering. Please call my agent.

Anyone can take a rude. crude, and lewd potshot. But who can give rational arguments?

So do you answer a fool according to his folly? Or not?

Proverbs says to avoid the mocker. So, being on TV with Mahr (his mocking element) wouldn't work. You'd have to get him into a serious intellectual situation. You can answer a fool by his folly by showing it to be folly--reduce it to absurdity. But you must not be full of folly yourself.
