Bill Maher has been coming out with some surprisingly right-of-center takes in the past few years. For starters, he condemned "child-friendly" drag shows, which unfortunately is considered a conservative take in our upside-down world. He also slammed "body positivity," and the "disinformation governance board," and even admitted that America has very liberal abortion laws compared to European countries.

Maher will soon be in hot water with the left again. On an upcoming episode of his "Club Random" podcast, Maher shared some opinions on slavery with actor Bryan Cranston that the lefties won't be happy to hear.

Maher said, "I’ve talked about it on my show, I mean, slavery, for the people who are wanting to cancel Thomas Jefferson and George Washington because they had slaves, and everybody else, in an era when everyone had slaves who could afford it, including people of color in other parts of the world.”

He went on to explain, "It was a human thing, it’s not just a white thing. Okay, so if you’re going to cancel Jefferson and Washington, you have to cancel Jesus, because he never spoke against it, it’s not in the Old Testament, there’s a million rules about slavery, none of them are ‘don’t do it.'”

There are a few issues with his Biblical argument. Biblical slavery commonly refers to indentured servitude that the poor or indebted would temporarily utilize, rather than modern chattel slavery. Even slaves that sold themselves into chattel slavery often did so out of necessity, as opposed to the modern-era practice of kidnapping and forced selling of human beings. The Bible expressly condemns the kidnapping and selling of slaves in Exodus 21:16 as punishable by death. And regulation of the practice does not equal endorsement.

But, then again, it's no surprise that Bill Maher hates religion. Biblical errors aside, he's making some fair points on the history of slavery. And the woke left is not going to like it one bit.
