Religulous
Bill Maher is better when he asks a lot of tough questions without condescending to his subjects. When he starts to debate, he comes off as a dick, although many of his ”dick” moments are admittedly funny. Maher leaves many of the world’s religions completely out of the mix as he focuses on the fundamentalists -- those who use their religions to manipulate, deceive or to justify war. It’s scary how many “Christians” believe the end of days will come in our lifetime, and they are they only ones who will be saved. It’s also scary to hear some of the Islamic scholars deny that there is anyone using their beliefs as an excuse to eradicate the Jews. As I’ve always said: denial ain’t just a river in England. It’s a movie that needed to be made, but he should have kept it funny. It gets a little “preachy” at the end, which is kind of pointless, since anybody who buys a ticket is already converted.
