Bill Maher gets "Religulous"


Finally, finally, finally! Somebody has finally found the balls to challenge the world of modern organized religion. Bill Maher is poised to release a documentary with director Larry Charles entitled Religulous [a combination of religion and ridiculous] in which he will take a hard, sarcastic look at the fooleries of various religious groups around the world. Although Maher’s mother was Jewish, he was raised in the Catholicism of his father’s side of the family; now he calls himself a rationalist, and thinks the idea that we all came from a garden with a talking snake is a fairy tale for overgrown children and crazies. i don't necessarily agree with all of Maher's opinions, especially his disbelief in God, but I do believe that society as a whole has been hoodwinked into believing some very far-out ideas to promote disastrous agendas. Religion was the motivation behind the crusades; religion was the motivation behind slavery; religion is why the people in the Middle East have been warmongering for centuries; hell, religion put George Bush in office! Not only do I think it will be interesting to watch, it will also be interesting to see how Maher's Religulous is accepted. I predict a reception more or less similar to Fahrenheit 9/11. We shall see. Religulous is to be released this Friday, October 3, in New York and Los Angeles.
