Bill Maher - comedian, political analyst, and blasphemer is making his rounds on several shows to promote his "documentary" Religulous. Personally, I have not seen the movie nor do I plan to see it. This isn't a documentary but rather a slam against any and all religion.
From the reviews that I have read Religulous mocks religion as ridiculous. Maher goes so far as to portray people of faith as crazy and even dangerous. According to one review this so-called documentary is nasty, condescending, small-minded, self-amused, & self-defeating. It's only accomplishment is to make atheists look bad.
Maher claims to be taking a logical and reasonable look into religion to combat fallacies. However, you can see in the previews that the only thing he uses is sarcasm & humiliation. Case in point: "The View" invited Maher to come on the show to talk about the movie. During a conversation with Sherri Shepherd, Maher called her irrational because she believes the story of Noah's Ark. Sherri asked him if he had ever talked to God himself and asked God what he thinks. Maher's reply was to ask Sherri if God had ever talked to her. When she said yes, he said they needed to call Bellevue because if she's hearing voices then she needs psychiatric help.
The problem with Maher isn't his atheistic stance - no, the real problem is that he thinks he is God. One of the posters shows his face in the clouds or burned on a piece of toast. I'm sure they will write this off as trying to be funny but for Maher to go around and insist that religion is ridiculous tells me that he has a god-complex and everyone should bow down to his ideals.
Jude 18 speaking of the apostles, "...they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts."
Folks, I just don't get it. People like Maher who is a comedian are trying to portray themselves political commentators, news anchors, and sincere researchers into what Americans need to here. The fact of the matter is that he is a just another liberal atheist trying to deceive anyone who will pay attention to his rantings. Why do people take him seriously? It's just a sign of the times.

Neal, I agree with every word you say. This makes me feel more sad than angry. He just doesnt know does he. I know that sin is sin and that we will all have to stand before God one day. But can you imagine standing before God and knowing you have done something like this in your life. It really just breaks my heart to see this.
