  2. Colbert here seems like so many others of his ilk: Pushy about the Bible, picking out extreme examples to highlight, and then demanding that if you claim to believe in God then you therefore MUST believe in every last detail in the Bible. And, of course, he gets some details wrong, but because it's him, that doesn't seem to matter.

  3. Anonymous: Colbert's whole show is done in character: a satire of the pushy demanding conservative host. That's why it's on Comedy Channel.

    More on that character here:
