God is nothing but a search of security, a search for safety, a search for shelter. You believe in God, not because God is there; you believe in God because you feel helpless without that belief. Even if there is no God, you will invent one. The temptation comes from your weakness. It is a projection.
Am I the only person who realizes that the entire six minutes and fifty-five minutes of the above was nothing but a whole lot of sensationalist nonsense? Religion doesn't kill people, last I heard Bibles don't leap of tables and slice people into mince meat. People kill people, and people will always kill people. All they need is motivation. It could easily be anything, communism, Nazism, sex, drugs, money, religion, oil, the environment, anything goes. Think critically people.
@bond4chucky Have you even READ the bible or the Qu'ran? They are what provides the motivation for these people to kill other people. It is you who is not thinking critically.
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 I have read the Bible from front to cover about fourteen times give or take and make an effort to read a chapter once a day. I have not read the Koran, but the Muslims I have met have impressed me with their hospitality and generosity. In the Bible, God's people are given clear instructions to care for this world and to abide by strict rules of conduct. They are to heed wisdom and seek a peaceful life whenever possible.
@bond4chucky Oh great so basically you are just cherry-picking. You are picking and singling out all the bits you like while leaving out all the horrible, barbaric, logical inconsistencies and untruths. You completely ignored all the commandments where God instructed his followers through Moses to do things like "put to death" homosexuals, and those who leave the religion, and 'witches' (who don't exist by the way), and 'burn priests daughters' who 'commit fornication.' Apart from the...
You will note, sir, that I said "abide by a strict rule of conduct" and "live in peace whenever possible". I never said God's people aren't ordered to kill on occasion. Homosexuals were singled out along with those who committed bestiality because not only were they against God's rules, but they were going against common sense, and the laws of nature period. Men belong with women, and women belong with men. Just like on the discovery channel...
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 As far as witches, go they do exist. They're known as fortune teller, shamans, and witch doctors also and are a part in many tribal communities. They were con men and frauds who claimed to talk to the dead and undermined the camps moral and the command of the leadership. So they were executed as such.
@bond4chucky Such hatred, hypocrisy and bigotry... so you are basically supporting execution for being gay, bestiality and indulging in fortune teller superstitions and you still can't figure out...
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 So what your telling me is that you're upset that we support the simple rules of reproduction that men belong with women and gay and bestial people are clearly doing it wrong?
@bond4chucky ... It does the species absolutely no harm whatsoever if a small percentage of them are homosexual. Homosexuality has been observed in many species in the animal kingdom too, it is just as natural heterosexuality. The only thing is it means that an exclusively homosexual animal is less likely to reproduce. Murdering them in cold blood by throwing stones at them benefits absolutely NOBODY and causes unnecessary pain. With overpopulation becoming...
@bond4chucky ... a major problem throughout the world and the strain on Earth's natural resources increasing, it is hardly negatively impacts the human race if some people don't have children. I am heterosexual and I don't plan to, does that mean I don't have a right to live either?
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 As far as the priests daughters being burned for committing fornication, well it was not only the women who was slain but also the man. Those were hardly harsh rules, considering most people were married of before they were 20 anyway. All that was required was basic decency and respect for the law and your elder and a little moral integrity. It wasn't exactly asking for the impossible.
@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 Those rules are hardly horrific, they only ask that the people of God show a little mental fortitude and respect for their neighbors.
@bond4chucky How is being 'put to death' (probably stoning) for following your basic instincts not horrific? If a 'man lieth with another man' behind closed doors so that no one can see or hear them then how are they disrespecting their neighbors? No. *I* support the simple rules of reproduction. If we all turned homosexual the human race would die out. But I don't enforce them on people like Adolf Hitler (another Christian, a lot like you in many ways)....
@mblackchurch this is a little funny because wether u believe in Jesus or not, in Matthew 41:1-11 even satan knows the word of God and quotes Psalm 91:11,12 to Jesus trying to stray him away...im not calling myself Jesus in any way but in this situation in which u try to stray me away from God by quoting several scriptures is a bit relatable
I like religion. It makes it easy to tell who is gullible enough to believe anything. When you meet a religious person. Do not mock them. Instead, one-up them. Tell that that you have been getting visions from Jesus, Elijah and Mother Mary since you were 3, and as a result you predicted 9/11, and have future dates for WW3 and the rapture.
Once you've got them, tell them you made it all up and laugh at how gullible they are.
There are things we don't know yet, and that is ok. Don't be scared about the unknown. Just because we don't know an answer doesn't mean you get to make up some bullshit supernatural reason for it. Humans have a hard time accepting their own mortality. It's part of an overdeveloped survival instinct. Guess what. You will die someday and be just as gone as you were before you were born. Deal with it. No fairytale will save you.
IMO Religion is simply a method to comfort human beings who want an explanation for the unexplainable. Really there are no differences in religion. It is simply you believe in something or you don't. Its logical to believe in a religion because you have nothing to lose. If you don't believe, and religion is right, then whatever all powerful being(s) will do what it wants and theres no pwer for you to do anything. Its just logical to believe, even though you are probably wrong
I have high hopes for Europe. We are (slowly) becoming more enlightened. America and the Middle East though....... oh dear. Please for the love of Sweden, don't blow us all up.
Interesting observation: It's funny that most religious people are 100% sure they are worshiping the right God, when in fact their God is entirely determined by who they were born to as almost all children mindlessly accept the religion of their parents.
Almost all American Christians would be Muslim if born in the Middle East, and they would be sure that Islam, not Christianity is the only real religion.
There's likely to be trouble and your efforts are appreciated but they will likely not do any good. The only thing that will ever do any good is to tell the truth. There is no good reason for you not to want to tell the truth. Objects did not make or refine what you are. Only your Maker is able to remake you again because there is no one else who can. Only your Maker is able to be born of a woman and make everything right again. We have done our evil deeds and our Maker has spoken His true word.
@JungleJargon *Yawns*. Heard it. It's not even a good joke; there's no punchline or sense of satire. If I were you I would try some original material in order to strive to be more creative.
@195ashes Show me anyone who has said simple function always requires a maker.
Show me anyone that has pointed out the fact that the continents consist almost entirely of over 100 million cubic miles of consecutive layers of micro sediments.
Show me anyone who says only the genome is able to reorganize the genome with the limited information and possibilites that it has.
If you are really right and there will be something like the judgement day - Please god, send me to hell to kick your ass! Luzifer was the only one in the bible who said "No god - you're doing it wrong!" so god sent him to a place like "hell" where Luzifer is the king now. I'd rather warship someone who's not afraid to critic the "big" ones than to turn off my brain and act like a fucking sheep.
God sent jesus to die for our sins. if we love god for his sacrifice, we go to heaven and spend the rest of our time in eternal peace. if we don't want to accept god, we spend the rest of our lives in an eternal void of darkness, continuing to hate god for whatever reason we hate him for.
It's not man's decision to say who goes to hell and who doesn't. that's god's decision.
So christians don´t have the right to claim that they are right about their faith. But Maher has every right to claim that it would be a better world without religion? This guy doesn´t argue, he polemicizes just like the people he thinks he criticizes... ;)
All religious people say their faith is the right faith, why is it suddenly not okay for Maher to say all faiths aren't right? It's only okay when YOU say it, right? LOL
Communism is a ideology which tried to abolish religion. And the result? Did communism create the better world without religion as Maher proclaims? In communism there was no god, there was terror.
Part of growing up is realizing that humans are the angels, the demons, the saints and the sinners. We are alone and anything that happens is on us to improve or destroy.
@mblackchurch consciousness cannot come from unconsciousness, there is more to existence than we can comprehend, and that I follow a written moral code that teaches peace and tolerance.
@mblackchurch the Bible. The actual Christian religion teaches peace and tolerance, no matter who you are, even if you don't worship the same or believe the same as everyone else, and I don't see how that can be destructive to society in any way. I also do not believe in prayer, because I believe that God does not intervene in worldly affairs. I believe in the laws of science. The only difference between me and atheists, however, is that I believe that something cannot come from nothing,
like i said... exodus and leviticus are both books of the old testament, which to me are irrelevant to Christians... the old testament was written for the Jews... and about the book of matthew and timothy, if you could, please find a word that Jesus said that commanded violence
@hammotox83Jesus flipped over the tables and beat the animals with a cat-o-nine tails just because there were vendors selling things outside of the temple. Then he supposedly drove a demon into a herd of completely innocent pigs who then hurled themselves into the sea and drowned. He also said that he came to uphold the Law. (capital L; Law of Moses which commands murder). Read your Bible. Jesus was admittedly nicer than YHWH, but he was far far from perfect.And yes, the OT is xian.
@mblackchurch Well, first of all, I'm not really the average Christian. I'm actually more of a Deist. I believe in a higher power, and I believe in the teachings of Jesus. I just refer to myself as a Christian because of my belief in Jesus's teachings. I also believe in science. I do not, however, believe in everything the Bible teaches, especially the Old Testament. The Old Testament is basically the Torah that Jewish people follow, and the main place where acts of vengeful violence occur in
@hammotox83 - (cont'd) ... condoning slavery, priests screwing young boys, blocking stem cell research, telling Africans they can't use condoms, bombing abortion clinics ("God Hates Fags"), Jonestown, Waco, genital mutilation, arranged marriages to minors, apathy toward the environment (God's taking care of it. Apocalypse! Rapture!) Let's not go on. Amen.
@hammotox83 - You're probably a good person, like many religious people. But how about those who support torture and revenge... and "hate radio"... and wish that somebody would kill all the muslims? (I know a few personally). And what have the leaders of the church given us in religion's name? Endless wars, the Crusades, the Inquisition, human sacrifice, persecuting women and homosexuals, 9-11, ethnic cleansing, honor rape, burning "witches", suicide bombings, (cont'd)
@dvmovie i believe those people need to be enlightened... they are not, to me, true Christians... they believe in the complete opposite of Jesus's teachings, like violence, intolerance, and revenge... i do not agree with their beliefs
@webster2086 *doubtful. You are ignorant for asserting your dominance over them because of something you merely believe in, not something that you can prove. That is intolerance, and you are not making yourself look better than atheists by copying their exact actions on the opposite side of the field. Maher says that humans should be doubtful of what's going on and how we were made, not firm and secure about what really is the truth.
I believe in what anyone chooses to believe in, as long if it does not hurt, slander, or interfere with ones personal well being. To call some one stupid for their constitutional right and thinks them self as more intellect as the other has to be ignorant because stupidity would be to educational for themselves. In ones final last breath or ones last known coherent thought process, as Looking death dead in the eye will one find his or her's own personal intelligence and/or faith...
@marquee367 horrible how? by openly showing how ignorant most religious people are? or how Jesus Christ was a reused savior from earlier religions, stolen from the Egyptians just like the 10 commandments, which are directly based on the 42 commandments of the Egyptian Book Of The Dead, To bad they didn't keep all 42.. They go into great detail, covering bad shit like rape, and even sins that people can commit against themselves. Far superior to a vague 10 rules. But still. ALL STOLEN
@toThe9thPower it is horrible because while ppl are trying to go against religion & there are tons of ppl dying and going hungry and epidemics waiting to happen and u ppl are doing nothing about it! leave religion alone and tackle the REAL problems...
@marquee367 real problems? religion is a HUGE problem. It divides everyone into different groups and teaches you to fear those that do not believe as you do, even to harm them, Christians have used their faith as an excuse to commit HORRIBLE acts of violence all in the name of God, it is a SERIOUS problem. and mentioning other serious problems does not somehow negate its importance, So this argument is complete shenanigans. Atheists are trying to kill religion OH FUCK YOU ARE INSANE
@toThe9thPower it does not teach u to fear other ppl...Christianity teaches u to love everyone, when other ppl deviate, its their perogative but can u name me 1 thing horrible thing Christians have done "in the name of God"?????
@marquee367 THE CRUSADES? a war that lasted 100 years, and led to generation of generation of slaughtered soldiers on both sides. Why did they go to conquer the Holy Land? BECAUSE GOD WOULD WANT THEM TO. Not to mention all the people who have been tortured and killed for not being Christian, are you really that unaware of history? and what your religion has done? what ALL religions do? how many wars? all the violence, hate and rape? all in the name of their "God"
@toThe9thPower God did NOT tell them to go conquer the Holy Land and I know of all the horrible things "supposed" Christians did. The truth is God said "THOU SHALT NOT KILL" and thats it....the crusades and the spanish inquisition were horrible and NOT of God since he said "THOU SHALT NOT KILL."
@marquee367 Herp Derp, learn to read. I said "God would want them to" Not that God TOLD them to.. Do you understand?
.
(Numbers 31:7-18 NLT) "They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the LORD's people. Now kill all the boys and all the women who have slept with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves"
.
Jesus himself said the old testament was THE WORD OF GOD, and the scripture cannot be broken. YOUR RELIGION IS IMMORAL
@marquee367 My god, are you retarded? THEY BELIEVED GOD WOULD WANT THEM TO. They have to capture the "Holy Land" so it could be protected by Christians, and they fought a war for ONE HUNDRED YEARS because of this. They murdered and tortured countless people, all in the name of God. What have Christians done? I showed you. The bible doesn't teach you to harm anyone? I SHOWED YOU IT DOES. You won't even address this fact. They murder everyone and take the virgin women BY FORCE. Immoral
@toThe9thPower " The bible doesn't teach you to harm anyone? I SHOWED YOU IT DOES." wat?? Again, "THOU SHALT NOT KILL." is said more than once in the Bible! These ppl whp call themselves Christians and kill other ppl are NOT doing the will of God if they kill other ppl! I keep adressing this over and over btw
@marquee367 But it clearly tells them to kill all the boys and women who have slept with a man, and to take the virgin women by force. This is only one of TEN times the old testament mentions rape. Never once does it show concern for the victim, the only negative it sees is that a mans PROPERTY was defiled. You cannot say the bible tells you to not harm anyone, when it clearly says that, AND also says to kill all the men and women and steal the virgins to take as wives. Is that okay?
@toThe9thPower The Bible never says anything about RAPE.read about history and see that apart of conquering cities is taking and marrying the leftover women. It was also like that in some Native American traditions. And God is a God of love, mercy and justice. He will love everyone, have mercy on the sinners and punish the ppl who disobey him. If you read Numbers 31:2 it says that they went there to "avenge the Lord of Midian" since they did not believe in him or worship him
@marquee367 Moses himself said to kill EVERYONE, and only let the virgin women live. These women were taken by force, and raped. What woman would willingly marry a man that just helped murder everyone she ever knew in her entire life? God himself even takes Davids wives to be raped to punish his sins. These women were innocent, yet they were raped by his neighbor for the crimes David committed. This is insanity. Rape is always wrong even when God is the one allowing it.
Why are you even posting here? Everyone who's a fan of this video sees through your made up mythology, your meaningless Bible quotes aren't backing up anything you're saying.
@xxESPx i quoted the Bible one time...everybody else keeps quoting the Bible to say "I'm wrong and my religion is bad" but the truth is I have no religion...religion is based on praying to votive man-made sculptures. I pray by myself, alone and to God. I have no more to say since you all will go on and on but before you start quoting scriptures at me, read everything around it and get the REAL meaning
So ignore the questionable pieces of your holy book, and only read the happy stuff. That's essentially what your saying. And once again, like most Christians, you paint your self as the victim, when the vast majority of the U.S. is Christian, and your religion infects our political system. You're not the victim.
@xxESPx no that is the opposite of what im saying...read around the scriptures u call "questionable" and then they won't be questionable anymore because then u will understand them
@mblackchurch i dont see anything about that in the KJV which is the first actual translation and that is written in New English jus a different time period with different speech. Which translation are u reading from?
@marqueeAnd Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. (Mt:21)Although it doesn't mention the whip, it was the only "whip" in those times.The cat-o-nine tails is the Roman whip used on Jesus later.It's mentioned 39 X in the Bible.

@marquee367 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; John 2:15
@mblackchurch he threw them out by force...if u read everything else in the gospels then u would know that God is a God of love, kindness and justice...he will love u, take care of u despite ur wrong doings but still punish the evil-doers for their transgressions
@marquee367 Are you being obtuse on purpose? He made a scourge (whip..Roman whip is a cat-o-nine tails) and drove them out. Did you think he made the whip for just the swinging sound in the air? He whipped them! That's common knowledge. And the god of the Bible drown his own children, forced women to marry their rapists, asked for sacrificial blood offerings all the time - and was your basic psychopathic prick. If he lived next door to you, you'd never let your kids outside.
@marquee367 The first English Bible was first written in Latin. Martin Luther changed that. Yet another translation from Greek, to Latin and now to Old English. Good luck discerning! :)
@mblackchurch Calm down. Writing in capitals makes you look like a prick. I assume then you meant the first Bible in England was written in Latin? If so then I made an honest mistake which you possibly thought was supposed to be a snide comment or something; which it most definetly wasn't.
@195ashes Sometimes a cunt - never a prick. I apologise. I am used to faith headed haters, so sometimes I am likely to be too quick to strike the preemptive blow. My bad. I am sorry.
@mblackchurch the old testement was first written in hebrew and the new testement in greek...the first translation by John Wycliff was translated to latin vulgate 190 years before Martin Luther translated it in German but the King James Version was translated from hebrew and greek with consideration from earlier versions
@marquee367 Well, there you go! Look how many times it was edited and translated. Seven books were removed from it. How could you possibly believe any of that gossip? Particularly when the god of the OT was a monster and an amoral prick? You really answer your own quandry there.
@marquee367 - Yes, I agree that it is horrible! It is horrible that because of religion and the foolish that believe and follow it are going to be the cause of the end of the world! It is happening now as I type this! Religion and the Religious cause so much violence and hatred not to mention all the wars that have occurred because of it/them! We will never be a peaceful earth until ALL religions are done away with and we start acting like loving human beings, with nothing to fight for! Peace!
@UnIndio how can we act like loving human beings when athiests are trying to kill religion and do away with its ppl...once again, tackle REAL problems like epidemics and poverty instead of religion
@FuzShock the top 2 most richest people on Earth are atheists, 1 donated 25 billion dollars to feed hungry people all over the world, the other gave up half of his net worth which was more than all the total income 4 the state of California in a year. The richest Evangelical Crusader never donated 1 dollar 2 any charity n owns a diamond mine in Africa which has children working 4 no pay. The Vatican is sitting on several hundreds of billions of dollars in Swiss accounts with no noble cause.
This little clip says more of what is necessary for mankind than anything said by ANY religious figure in history. If Jesus was truly the Son of God n loved people the way stupid Christians say he does, Jesus would have said something more along the lines of what was said in this clip. Jesus was a sham a charlatan a fraud a creepy jobless bum who hung around 12 loosers with criminal backgrounds leaching off uneducated superstitious people from town to town, cause he could and knew it. fuck him.
Bill has to do some studying and research before he goes on. The reason that people do great things on this earth is because they have their mind above. Ending slavery, Lincoln was what Maher would call a whacko Christian. By focusing on above, he made life better on earth for everyone, ending slavery. Mother Teresa and everyone of the like, they do great things on earth, because they focus on what's above.
Some people just like being apart movements, and Maher is no different. He's human.
@OffTheGlass87 I think you are the one who needs to research. Lincoln was never baptized and never attended church. If anything new evidence is suggesting he was a deist which would make sense because if he was a true Christian he would have endorsed slavery to be in line with the bible. Mother Theresa was a con artist this is old news as Hitchens said a friend of "poverty" not the poor. Some people don't like "apart" movements, some people do this crazy thing called thinking.
@OffTheGlass87 You are a brainwashed little follower of stupidity, there are several speeches Lincoln gave that make clear he is not a Christian. In fact the southern states with the Bible belt used their pulpits to preach how Lincoln was a trader to the Bible, being against slavery and used the Bible to show how God was for slavery. you my ignorant evolved human need to read history from an unbiased NON-Christian point of view so you dont embarrass yourself and your family again.
False Prophet !!!! Man worships bigotry and are the enablers of hate an arrogance. Bill Maher is , like every other radical atheist out there. redirecting whats wrong with this world to religion. Instead of focusing on making a difference . When man learns , that pointing fingers to the oposing side , instead of all of humanity working together....The world will stay corrupt.
@Tom6093 Very righteous.. But religion the biggest (besides race I guess) divider of people on earth. People kill, judge, and mistreat each other over what silly myths they believe all the time.
I totally agree with you about all of humanity working together. That needs to happen. But it will NEVER happen until we all reach a level of intellectual honesty where we can admit that the religions of the world were created by us.
Well, most of them are. And for your idea that humanity working together, it will never happen, and it's not happening because of religion, it's because of the idea of collectivism and forcing government on people who want freedom and capitalism.
Capitalism brings everyone from every culture to participate in trade amongst each other. We don't care who made it, who bought it or sold it, as long as each is satisfied and voluntarily exchange. That's Capitalism.

The entire time I first watched this documentary, I was under the impression that this was just a biased pie in the face towards spiritual people's faces. Then, I watched these last seven minutes, and you know what? Bill Maher is spot-fucking on.
@PHEOLA1 I'm not religious because I think it's fake and arrogant. However, if you refer to the new testament, Jesus actually states that the kingdom of heaven in "here and now". The end times seems kind of like a made up dramatization for everyone ho wants an answer. I don't buy it, but I don;t buy the idea of a conventional god either.
Sorry if I hurt/offended anybody, please excuse me; I should have taken into account the sensitivity of this subject and not knowing who are reading my comment may be hurt. I apologize. Everybody is right from their own angle.
@whythewar1 I'm not trying to offend you bro it's just... Bill Maher for president? Yeah I know you mean that sarcastically but Bill Maher is a pretentious snob with no reason to be. I mean he's a fucking idiot with a fairly funny wit. Nothing more.
@skippy091065 Nobody hates you dude, not you in particular. I personally dislike the organisation behind the religion for far too many reasons i dont feel obliged to enumerate in here.

God is nothing but a search of security, a search for safety, a search for shelter. You believe in God, not because God is there; you believe in God because you feel helpless without that belief. Even if there is no God, you will invent one. The temptation comes from your weakness. It is a projection.

All that was required was basic decency and respect for the law and your elder and a little moral integrity. It wasn't exactly asking for the impossible.

If a 'man lieth with another man' behind closed doors so that no one can see or hear them then how are they disrespecting their neighbors? No. *I* support the simple rules of reproduction.

I like religion. It makes it easy to tell who is gullible enough to believe anything. When you meet a religious person. Do not mock them. Instead, one-up them. Tell that that you have been getting visions from Jesus, Elijah and Mother Mary since you were 3, and as a result you predicted 9/11, and have future dates for WW3 and the rapture.
Once you've got them, tell them you made it all up and laugh at how gullible they are.

IMO Religion is simply a method to comfort human beings who want an explanation for the unexplainable. Really there are no differences in religion. It is simply you believe in something or you don't. Its logical to believe in a religion because you have nothing to lose. If you don't believe, and religion is right, then whatever all powerful being(s) will do what it wants and theres no pwer for you to do anything. Its just logical to believe, even though you are probably wrong

Interesting observation: It's funny that most religious people are 100% sure they are worshiping the right God, when in fact their God is entirely determined by who they were born to as almost all children mindlessly accept the religion of their parents.
Almost all American Christians would be Muslim if born in the Middle East, and they would be sure that Islam, not Christianity is the only real religion.

As a christian, here's my opinion.
God sent jesus to die for our sins. if we love god for his sacrifice, we go to heaven and spend the rest of our time in eternal peace. if we don't want to accept god, we spend the rest of our lives in an eternal void of darkness, continuing to hate god for whatever reason we hate him for.
It's not man's decision to say who goes to hell and who doesn't. that's god's decision.
religious people (christians) need to know that.

If you read Numbers 31:2 it says that they went there to "avenge the Lord of Midian" since they did not believe in him or worship him

@marquee367 Moses himself said to kill EVERYONE, and only let the virgin women live. These women were taken by force, and raped.

These women were innocent, yet they were raped by his neighbor for the crimes David committed. This is insanity. Rape is always wrong even when God is the one allowing it.

Well, most of them are. And for your idea that humanity working together, it will never happen, and it's not happening because of religion, it's because of the idea of collectivism and forcing government on people who want freedom and capitalism.
Capitalism brings everyone from every culture to participate in trade amongst each other. We don't care who made it, who bought it or sold it, as long as each is satisfied and voluntarily exchange. That's Capitalism.

The entire time I first watched this documentary, I was under the impression that this was just a biased pie in the face towards spiritual people's faces. Then, I watched these last seven minutes, and you know what? Bill Maher is spot-fucking on.

@PHEOLA1 I'm not religious because I think it's fake and arrogant. However, if you refer to the new testament, Jesus actually states that the kingdom of heaven in "here and now". The end times seems kind of like a made up dramatization for everyone ho wants an answer. I don't buy it, but I don;t buy the idea of a conventional god either.

@whythewar1 I'm not trying to offend you bro it's just... Bill Maher for president? Yeah I know you mean that sarcastically but Bill Maher is a pretentious snob with no reason to be. I mean he's a fucking idiot with a fairly funny wit. Nothing more.

who is the greater fool, me, for believing in a God I have yet to see, or you, for hating me for worshipping a God you say you don't believe in?
