God is a "psychotic mass murderer" who "drowns babies," HBO's Bill Maher says in a rant about the upcoming film "Noah," slamming Christians for believing in in a deity that he says isn't true.
Maher, on his "Real Time With Bill Maher" program Friday night, kicked off his rant — which left few religions untouched — by complaining he is sick of seeing ads for the Russell Crowe movie, calling it a "floating piece of giraffe crap,"
The movie is angering both Christians and Muslims, and Maher, who is an atheist, expressed disgust that Christians are boycotting the movie because they don't think it follows the Biblical story accurately enough.

Maher poked fun at the Biblical story for telling how Noah, a 900 year old man, and his sons, at about 100 years old, built a large ship and put all the animals on the world on it .
The fact that 60 percent of Americans believe the story is proof, Maher said, that "this is a stupid country."
Even worse, Maher said the whole story of Noah is immoral, because "It's about a psychotic mass murderer who gets away with it, and his name is God...What kind of tyrant punishes everyone just to get back at the few he's mad at? I mean, besides Chris Christie."
He goes on to call God names, saying that He is "in a movie with Russell Crowe, and you're the one with anger issues."
And belief in God, Maher said, is the reason why "conservatives are always going on about how Americans are losing their values and their morality... maybe it's because you worship a guy who drowns babies."
Maher also called all religions irrational, complaining that "conservatives are always complaining about too much restraining regulation and how they love freedom, but they're the religious ones who voluntarily invent restrictions for themselves."

Orthodox Jews wear black wool on hot summer days, he said, and Mormons can't drink a hot chocolate on a cold winter night.
"Isn't life hard enough without making s**t up out of thin air to f**k with yourself? he said.
