More from Bill Maher’s RELIGULOUS
By Norm Schrager at March 5, 2008 | 1:34 pm | Print
Now that Bill Maher’s Real Time has its writers back, we’ve been receiving inquiries about our initial preview of Religulous, the documentary satire from Maher and Borat director Larry Charles. Here’s what we’ve got:
First, I had been pronouncing it wrong. (Not that any of you heard me pronounce it.) It’s ruh-lidge-you-luss. There, now go impress your politically minded know-it-all friends.
Second, here’s a photo from Lionsgate of Charles and Maher making the film. Where the hell are they? I love that Larry Charles looks like he could be either a wise religious sage or a homicidal roadside hitchhiker.
Religulous will hit US screens in limited release on October 3 June 20. Or go see it in France in April.
What’s your take on a film that will question (and likely skewer) religion?

Perhaps Bills’ “rationalist” don’t speak-up because they themselves know that intolerance for the religious populations of this world – let alone America – is not the way to “convince” people that their faith, as Bill puts it, is what so-called rationalist call “fairy tales” from an alleged primitive time. Calling for the “demise” of anyones belief out of clear socio-political incompatibility with Bills’ distorted view of the world, and perhaps the Human condition, is itself destructive and unbecoming of supportive communities and ideals. It would be interesting to examine if the political convictions of John Adams – at many times making clear associations with Christianity and the Word of The Bible – would have thought that his religions beliefs where “destructive” of his political convictions for Freedom and Liberty. It is interesting how Bill supports the existence and defense for Israel with American troops – the majority of which are Christian – yet never mentions the “demise” of the jews. Bill Maher IS a bigot and a hypocrite!

Bill Maher is a blowhard and should be fired immediately! Don’t waste your money on this loser. Sign the petition at http://www.firebillmaher.com !!
Bill Maher will undoubtedly burn in hell, the question is: How many more people will he suck into his sick little world?
Even his own black supermodel girlfriend sued him!!
Who has the cult following again Bill?

Bravo, Bill Maher! You are a true inspiration to those of us who have refused to be led like sheep by religion.The lack of FACTS to support ANY religious belief other than “Well, I have faith in the Bible” is what I noticed most. No science, no documentation, no proof! And even the fact that most of the people spoken to have not researched religions OTHER than theirs stunned me. When confronted with other religious beliefs that predated theirs and were the same story from the Bible, almost step by step, they acted like a deer caught in the headlights. This film points out how blindly people with religious beliefs accept what they are fed. Bill Maher, great job!

FANTASTIC and because of this movie I am now a Rationalist. I didn’t realize how blind I was by religon. All you people above criticising, should live your lives more like Jesus teaches and have love, and forgive your enemies rather then hope they burn in hell. You guys and your Bullshit religon that you don’t even follow or practice. YOU are the hypocrite David. And yes he supports israel but it has nothing to do with your religon. Now instead of JUDGING, and HATING, you should live your life more so like your religon that you believe in SO MUCH teaches you:)
