Is it anti-religion or anti-Christian?

I’ll not comment on what I believe must die.

I know I should be angered by this, but I just can't summon the rage.

Maher is pathetic.

...absent too is any ridicule directed at Eastern religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Shinto, etc...all of which remains popular with Hollywood mystic set.

I believe there is a special place in Hell for Maher and his kind where eternal torment is a 1,000 fold the normal lot.

Some people who don't believe spend an awful lot of time defending and justifying their unbelief. Why is that?

So, if I stop believing, I'll be brilliant and wise and compassionate like Bill Maher? I know plenty of highly intelligent believers, and many ignorant unbelievers who think being atheist means they're smart.

The plain fact is, religion must die for mankind to live,” Maher says in a melodramatic finish that is as smarmy as any late-night cable TV evangelist.

Goebbels couldn't have said it better in The Eternal Jew. This is revolting propaganda against a basic human right to freedom of religion.

“That’s it,” Maher tells us. “Grow up or die.”

The calls for “death” are threatening. Atheist supremacists in this world have killed before. Just ask the Russians.

What else do we expect from him? Maher is a lost soul and should be prayed for.

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:9

Sounds like a rehash of the old movie MARJOE.

Anyone familiar with Maher's take-no-prisoners style – his stand-up work, the defunct “Politically Incorrect” TV show and currently HBO's “Real Time with Bill Maher” – knows what to expect.

Like "Cannibal Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death"?

member of the United Methodist Women.....But she laughed. Several times.

Much of the Spirit of God left the United Methodist Church some time ago.

Bill Maher started out going to church? I thought he was JEWISH?

I understand he once was arrested for beating his black girlfriend.

I don’t see any problem with this. Obviously the guy is off his rocker but I enjoy a good laugh at my own expense every now and then.

OF course there are negative aspects of religion, but that doesnt mean there aren’t overwhelming positives. Someone probably took away his weed and now hes strung out

The most rabid of the anti-religious are Homos (such as Maher) since they blame religion for not being accepted by society. For perverts to florish, religion must be weakened.

I wouldn’t walk across the street to see this movie even if someone paid me.

If you have to lie to people to make your movie I don’t think that person’s point of view can be taken seriously. Maher admitted that he is a liar and a whore.

******

the irreverent HBO “Real Time” host has a rep for railing against organized religion. (In “Religulous,” he again equates it with a brain disorder and warns religion must die for mankind to survive). So why, in heaven’s name, would Christian, Muslim and Jewish figures all over the globe – not to mention the big-bellied believers at the Truck Stop Ministries in Raleigh, N.C. – willingly go on camera for a mocking film whose title is a mesh of “religion” and “ridiculous?”

“We lied,” Maher fessed up to his, er, sin. “The working title of the movie was ‘A Spiritual Journey,’ which doesn’t sound so threatening. We would not tell them who the interviewer was, and they generally wouldn’t ask.”

Once the camera crew and klieg lights were in place, Maher strolled in. “There were a lot of long faces at that moment, or shocked faces like, ‘Oh my God, you didn’t tell us Satan was doing the interview,’ ” Maher said.

“They could pull their mike off and get up, but that looks bad. If you have such certitude about how wonderful your religion is, why not sit there and defend it? And let’s also say, like everyone else in America, even the religious are media whores.”

Oh for pete’s sake...what can we expect?

Romans 1:21 tells us that refusing to acknowledge, or honor, the God of creation constitutes a rejection that actually becomes bilateral.

What could be more satisfying to the ego of man than telling others how foolish they are for believing in a God that is actively hiding from that person doing the telling?

Maher is the confused and resentful child of a Catholic man who didn't apparently think much of his faith and a Jewish mother who didn't even tell her son that she was Jewish.

He got just enough Christianity to make him know that he was a slime ball, but as many do he channeled that into a hatred of God.

He never fit in, in a religious country, so he rebelled. Now he's reduced to sliming on sluts at Playboy Mansion parties. I hear Hef is having to turn the spigot down on that too.

“The plain fact is, religion must die for mankind to live,”

This isn't a "plain fact." It's an imperative. Not only that, but it's, implicitly, a moral imperative. And moral imperatives are ultimately absurdities without God. Really, if God doesn't exist, why should mankind live?
