The moment Charlie Kirk got through to Bill Maher and made him realize how “generous” Jesus Christ is.
KIRK: “Judgment is getting what you deserve. Mercy is getting less than what you deserve. Grace—”
MAHER: “Wait, wait. Mercy is getting less than what you deserve?”
KIRK: “Yeah, so we believe Jesus gives us grace. So you get a prison sentence, you get judgment, you get mercy, you get less of a prison sentence. Grace would be Jesus serving that prison sentence for you so you could live life eternal.”
MAHER: “Well, how is he serving that? Oh, you mean like in the big picture?”
KIRK: “Well, because we believe him living a perfect life and then suffering the death that he did on the cross was him atoning for our sins. The sins of humanity. Which is a big claim, albeit a very compelling one, which we also believe to be true. Because it redeems all of humanity of our short-falling of the glory of God.”
MAHER: “I gotta say, it’s really picking up the check for the whole table. I mean, you gotta give it to your boy. For all of our sins? It’s a very generous thing. Very generous!”
